As part of its drive to encourage the adoption of smarter fuel solutions, Certas Energy has been pioneering the use of a cleaner burning alternative to diesel, as exclusive UK distributor of Shell GTL Fuel. Working in partnership with Peel Ports Group – a fellow member of the Northern Powerhouse Partner Programme – Certas Energy opened a Shell GTL Fuel refuelling station at the Port of Liverpool last year to provide HGV drivers with a lower emission fuel to help fleet operators assist in the improvement of local air quality.
