Having grown its network by six in the last two months alone, Certas Energy now has 28 HVO depots nationwide. The planned expansion of renewable diesel storage will include Whitby, Fort William, Porthmadog, Braintree, and Sheffield, even extending to the Isle of Wight later this year.
Broader access
An estimated one million litres of additional HVO will be added to the company’s network to support the growing demand for sustainable fuels from UK businesses. The investment also enables Certas Energy to accelerate its own decarbonisation plan by increasing HVO use in its own fleet by an extra one million litres.
According to a recent biofuels report by Quantum, UK consumption of HVO in 2024, was approximately 700 million litres, with demand growing year-on-year.
In the past year, Certas Energy has increased its sales of HVO by more than 60 per cent.
Richard Billington, Managing Director (Energy Solutions) at Certas Energy, said: “I’m delighted to be confirming Certas Energy’s continued and long-term commitment to supporting UK businesses.
“Today’s announcement intends to reassure business operators and fleet managers that switching to high-quality renewable diesel has been made easier. Broadening reliable access will continue to be a central part of our investment strategy, and we look forward to introducing additional HVO renewable diesel to our customers, to help decarbonise even more localities.”
