Pendle Borough Council, GB evaluates the impacts of renewable fuel on its recycling fleet

Pendle Borough Council, GB Renewable Fuel Recycling Fleet

In Progress

Pendle Borough Council identified reduced fleet emissions as a strategic objective in its Climate Emergency Action Plan. The council's Environmental Services team switched vehicles from diesel to hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) for the six-month pilot. Go Plant Fleet Services provided a biofuel tank and technical guidance during the fuel switch. The pilot tests HVO benefits including an estimated emissions reduction of 2.3 kilograms per liter and improved efficiency in cold weather.
