Increasing access to HVO
As part of the Certas Energy’s commitment to supporting the transition to lower-carbon fuels, the Omega site offers Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) alongside Diesel (DERV) and AdBlue. Designed for flexibility, the bunker’s tank compartments can be easily reconfigured to reflect product demand.
Fitted with industry-leading on-site safety measures, the bunker also offers unique high-speed refuelling capabilities, with nozzles dispensing up to 120 litres per minute, making it one of the most secure and efficient refuelling locations in the North West.
Mike Heaton, Head of Estate Development at Certas Energy, said: “Opening the Omega site with the support of local politicians and transport representatives marks an important step forward in our strategy to expand and modernise our nationwide bunker network while also making lower-carbon fuels like HVO more accessible to UK fleets.
“The location was chosen based on strong customer demand in the Warrington area, with around 14,000 HGVs and a further 21,000 LCVs passing Junction 8 in either direction each day. Its prime position makes refuelling easier, faster, and more secure for drivers across the region.”
This latest opening brings the total number of Certas bunker sites dispensing HVO at the pump to 17 nationwide.
