Certas HVO to power shuttle buses at show

Reinforcing its ongoing commitment to the construction sector, Certas Energy will be one of the sponsors at Hillhead, the country’s largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition, running from 23rd until 25th June.

As part of its sponsorship of the event, which will take place in cavernous Hillhead Quarry in Buxton, the country’s leading fuel and energy transition partner will also be supplying approximately 2,000 litres of its Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) to power the site's official shuttle buses, which will transport up to 20,000 attendees to and from the huge quarry site across three dynamic, action-packed days.

Compared to standard diesel, HVO can cut lifecycle GHG emissions by up to 90%. This means that a delivery of 2,000 litres from Certas Energy could drive down emissions by up to 5,164KG of CO2e** over the three-day period, highlighting the significant role lower-carbon fuels can play in reducing the environmental impact of large-scale events.

During Hillhead, Certas Energy will be exhibiting at stand A8, where brand representatives will proudly showcase how renewable fuels can effectively cut on-site emissions. The stand will also welcome attendees keen to explore bulk fuel, HVO, AdBlue and lubricants, all expert-backed solutions with a proven track record of keeping construction fleets efficient and reliable.

Cathy Bailey, energy transition manager at Certas Energy, said: “Construction is a very important sector for us, one we’ve been proudly supporting for more than 20 years, so we’re delighted to be attending and sponsoring Hillhead this year.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to support not only this brilliant event but the industry as a whole, engaging with attendees to showcase the energy transition possibilities available, whatever stage of their journey they may be at when they meet us.

“I’m incredibly proud to be attending Hillhead and look forward to meeting anyone keen to take the first step of their energy transition journey.”
