Scarborough Borough Council, GB tests fleet use of vegetable oil for reduced emissions and costs

Scarborough Borough Council, GB Vegetable Oil Fleet Use Test

Завършен

Borough officials identified fleet emissions as the largest source of emissions in council operations. Two-thirds of the fleet switched from diesel to hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) for a one-year pilot. This project did not require additional infrastructure or vehicle conversions as compared to electric vehicle purchases. Additional features of HVO adoption include the reuse of local restaurant waste, the absence of fumes, and the elimination of fuel additives like palm oil.

Scarborough Borough Council: HVO fleet decarbonisation trial | Local Government Association

In order to reduce the carbon footprint of the Council and demonstrate leadership locally, regionally, and nationally, Scarborough Borough Council has rolled out hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) into almost two thirds of its fleet vehicles. The fuel is being used as a straight replacement for diesel in the majority of the diesel fleet, from bin wagons to ride-on mowers. Over the course of a full year, the project could lower emissions by up to 900 tCO2e.
