Customers will benefit from increased control over their fuel supplies, helping them service local authority contracts, road haulage requirements, and others with increasing demand.
A paraffinic fuel that is chemically similar to conventional fossil fuel-based diesel renewable diesel is instead derived from biomass sources such as used cooking oil, fats, greases and vegetable oils. First introduced as a wholesale product by Phillips 66 in 2022, it has a significantly lower carbon intensity than fossil fuel. The product sold by Phillips 66 meets specific sustainability and supply chain criteria that qualify it as a renewable transport fuel under UK law and its compliance with such criteria is independently verified.
David Sharman, Commercial Sales & Future Fuels Account Manager, Phillips 66 Limited, says: “We are delighted to be expanding our offering of Renewable Diesel, particularly in the Southeast where our customers are seeing increasing demand.
“Our teams have the expertise and knowledge to source and sell this relatively new product, whilst also supporting our customers to navigate the many questions end users ask of them.”
Phillips 66 Limited plans to expand its renewable diesel offering beyond road transport to non-Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) markets, including businesses in the marine market.
