Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council, GB continues net-zero mission with biofuel pilot for equipment

Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council, GB Biofuel Equipment

Twenty-five council lawnmowers switched from diesel to used vegetable oil for the first part of the pilot. Biofuelled operations during the summer led to an estimated emissions reduction of 90 tons. Borough officials approved the installation of an on-site biofuel tank as well as an extension of the pilot to tipper trucks and street sweepers. Project leaders estimate a 90% reduction in annual equipment emissions with full implementation, which would contribute to a 2025 net-zero goal.
