Boosting confidence in renewable fuels
While transport electrification is set to be a major part of the answer in terms of meeting the UK’s ramped-up commitments to tackle climate change, renewable fuels are now available that can significantly cut emissions in the short- and medium-term and which can be used in hard-to-electrify applications.
A study by Zemo Partnership (formerly LowCVP) shows how the widespread adoption of high blend renewable fuels (HBRF) can speed up road transport decarbonisation. It explains how renewable fuels – which can demonstrate over 80% well-to-wheel reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – could also help ensure that the UK meets the upcoming Fourth Carbon Budget (2023-27).

BCP Council trials alternative fuel in refuse trucks
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council is the tenth-largest urban local authority in England. It was formed in April 2019 and by July, they had formally declared a climate emergency and committed to lead their communities towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. Part of this commitment was a pledge to create a carbon-neutral position for their operations and activities by 2030.
This ambitious pledge has already seen a lean towards more sustainable transport options across the conurbation and can also be seen in their latest trial with Crown Oil, using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) in two of their refuse vehicles.
