About

Leicestershire County Council awarded a contract to Certas Energy (previously known as GB Oils) for the provision of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel to power waste and highways vehicles and equipment.

The contract, valued at £32,500, covers HVO renewable diesel, a direct drop-in replacement for red and white diesel, derived from certified sustainable raw materials.

HVO cuts up to 90% of net CO2 emissions, supporting the council's carbon footprint reduction and net zero sustainability targets.

The fuel is used in on- and off-road vehicles and machinery, offering a quick and relatively cheap way to lower carbon emissions without replacing existing vehicles.
