Oleo100

What Oleo100 does

Oleo100 is a commercial brand operated by SAIPOL SAS, a subsidiary of the French agricultural conglomerate Avril Group, that sells a 100% French rapeseed-based B100 biodiesel biofuel for fleet decarbonation. The product is produced through transesterification of rapeseed oil into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) at Saipol's processing facilities across France, with by-products (rapeseed meal for animal feed, glycerin) supporting a circular economy model. Oleo100 delivers a turnkey solution comprising fuel supply, IoT-enabled connected storage tanks installed at customer sites, automated inventory monitoring with replenishment services, vehicle compatibility assessment, and optional retrofit services for older Euro VI engines. The company also offers an Oleo100 Bas GES variant for enhanced GHG reduction performance.

The business serves captive fleet operators across five primary verticals: freight transport (Transport de marchandises), passenger transport (Transport de voyageurs), public sector and waste collection (Collectivités), construction (BTP), and shippers/donneurs d'ordre requiring Scope 3 decarbonation. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-fleet (no retail), organized through a sales team structured into five functional poles (commercial, customer service, technical, communication, CSR). Pricing is usage-based and designed to be cost-neutral per kilometer versus diesel, supplemented by French regulatory incentives including the up to 60% over-amortization tax benefit and Crit'Air 1 vignette eligibility for exclusive B100 vehicles, granting access to Low Emission Zones (ZFE).

Oleo100 reports 2,000+ connected tanks deployed across France supporting 20,000+ vehicles, with 5+ years of operations since 2019 and a customer roster spanning Leroy Merlin, Vinci Energies, FlixBus, Colsac (Colas), Renault Trucks, IVECO BUS, and MAN Trucks. The company holds strategic OEM homologation agreements with the major European truck and bus manufacturers, positioning it as the leading French B100 brand with structural regulatory advantages. Operations remain France-only, with no disclosed revenue figures and a focused 25-employee team.

Direct peers

• UPM Biofuels: UPM Biofuels produces renewable diesel and naphtha from wood-based residues and sells into the European road transport market. Like Oleo100 it is a focused biofuel producer targeting commercial fleets with a low-carbon diesel substitute, though feedstock and chemistry differ.
• Greenergy: Greenergy is a UK-based supplier of biodiesel and renewable road fuels, including aggregated biofuel supply for commercial fleets. Comparable to Oleo100 as a focused biofuel distributor serving transport operators, though with a UK-centric footprint and broader product range.
• Neste: Neste is the global leader in renewable diesel (HVO/HEFA) made from waste and residues, sold as a drop-in fuel for road transport and a direct substitute for fossil diesel. Like Oleo100, Neste targets commercial fleet decarbonation with a renewable fuel solution, though at much larger scale and with HVO chemistry rather than FAME.

Broad incumbents

• Shell: Shell supplies biofuels blended into its retail and commercial fuel network globally, including renewable diesel and biodiesel offerings for fleet customers. Comparable to Oleo100 as a fuel supplier for transport decarbonation, but operating at global scale and through diverse channels rather than captive fleet direct sales.
• TotalEnergies: TotalEnergies is a global integrated energy major with a broad biofuels portfolio including biodiesel, renewable diesel, and ethanol across retail and B2B channels. It overlaps with Oleo100 in supplying low-carbon fuels to French transport fleets but as part of a much wider downstream and refining business.
• Eni Sustainable Mobility: Eni's sustainable mobility business includes HVO biofuels, biomethane, and e-fuels sold across Italian and European retail and commercial channels. It targets fleet decarbonation with renewable diesel substitutes similar to Oleo100's offering, but operates at much larger scale through an integrated downstream network.
• BP: BP markets biofuels across its retail forecourts and to commercial fleets, with renewable diesel and biodiesel offerings aimed at transport decarbonation. It competes with Oleo100 for fleet customers seeking lower-carbon diesel substitutes but serves a far broader geographic and customer footprint.
• Cargill Bioindustrial: Cargill Bioindustrial supplies plant-based feedstocks and oleochemicals, including rapeseed oil derivatives and biofuel precursors, to industrial and energy customers in Europe. Relevant to Oleo100 as a parallel large-scale processor of oilseeds into renewable industrial products, though operating upstream rather than at retail fleet distribution.

Emerging players

• Haffner Energy: Haffner Energy is a French renewable energy company developing biomass-to-SAF and hydrogen solutions targeting heavy transport decarbonation. Comparable to Oleo100 as a French decarbonation-focused player serving transport, though at an earlier commercial stage and with different fuel chemistries.

Regional players

• Repsol: Repsol produces and distributes biofuels in Spain and across southern Europe, including renewable diesel and biodiesel for commercial fleets. Comparable to Oleo100 as a European integrated oil major with biofuel offerings for transport, but with a primarily Iberian and broader Mediterranean footprint rather than French-specific coverage.
