Speedy has approved Syntech ASB B100 biofuel for use across its entire power generation following an extensive programme of trials conducted over several months across both Stage III and Stage V generators.
The trials demonstrated that Syntech ASB performs in line with conventional EN590 diesel, with no loss of performance, no operational issues and no impact on SCR or DPF functionality.
The only equipment adaptation required was the straightforward replacement of standard cellulose fuel filters with B100-compatible alternatives.
Working collaboratively with Syntech, the company demonstrated that a UK-produced B100 biofuel can provide the construction industry with a practical and immediately deployable alternative to fossil diesel.
Importantly, Syntech ASB will be available across Speedy’s entire power fleet enabling customers to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, while at the same time benefiting from full fuel duty relief.
Mike DeRome, Speedy Hire head of fuel said: “We are delighted with the result of these trials, and what it will mean for the decarbonising of the construction sector. It's been encouraging to see how other low carbon fuels, alongside HVO, can truly become drop in solutions and Speedy looks forward to the collaboration with Syntech moving forward.”
Syntech Biofuel’s COO Robert Hart added: “We are extremely proud of the work done to date in driving broader adoption of Syntech ASB, and this endorsement combined with our strategic distribution partnership with New Era Energy means we can supply any client requirement anywhere in the UK.”
