Certas Energy has announced plans to further expand the availability of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) at more of its depots across the UK. The company has recently increased its HVO storage and supply depot network by six and now has a total of 28 depots nationwide.
A member of Zemo Partnership's Renewable Fuel Assurance Scheme (RFAS), Certas says it aims to continue to broaden access to renewable fuels. An estimated one million litres of additional HVO will be added to the company’s network to support the growing demand for sustainable fuels from UK businesses.
The latest investment also enables Certas Energy to increase the use of HVO in its own operating fleet by an extra one million litres, thus accelerating its decarbonisation plan and decreasing its carbon footprint. In the past year, Certas Energy has increased its sales of HVO by more than 60 per cent.
Richard Billington, Managing Director (Energy Solutions) at Certas Energy, said: “I’m delighted to be confirming Certas Energy’s continued and long-term commitment to supporting UK businesses. Today’s announcement intends to reassure business operators and fleet managers that switching to high-quality renewable diesel has been made easier. Broadening reliable access will continue to be a central part of our investment strategy, and we look forward to introducing additional HVO renewable diesel to our customers, to help decarbonise even more localities”.
Zemo's RFAS Scheme verifies claims made by companies supplying renewable fuels to heavy duty vehicle and equipment operators regarding their product’s GHG emission savings and provenance of raw material feedstocks.
