Certas Energy updates online HVO fuel calculator

Independent fuel distributor in the UK, Certas Energy, has announced new updates to its free online fuel calculator, aimed at empowering companies across industries with the data to make informed decisions on their fuel needs.

This marks the first time both calculators have been offered by Certas Energy across all industries, where businesses can analyse their specific fuel needs for fleets, off-road vehicles and site equipment.

The HVO Carbon Savings Calculator is a digital tool that is now equipped with 2025 data from the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero.

Certas Energy states that the updates aim to provide more informative, real-time simulations of carbon emissions savings for companies that are based on the latest Government figures.

This move provides insights for businesses, empowering them to be more informed when switching their vehicles and machinery from diesel to more sustainable fuels like hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), which can reduce carbon emissions by up to 90%.

According to Certas Energy, the HVO Carbon Savings Calculator should be used in tandem with the HVO & Diesel Balancing Calculator, an industry-first digital tool that provides a full breakdown of the overall cost of a blended fuel mix, and which helps businesses understand the financial implications of integrating diesel and HVO.

Andrew Scott, Liquid renewables manager at Certas Energy said: “We’ve already seen many of our customers make impressive carbon savings on their journey to net zero. By putting real-time data directly into their hands, tailored to their specific business needs, we aim to give them clarity and confidence.  Our partners can see exactly what they stand to gain in terms of emissions reductions which makes the path to decarbonisation more tangible, achievable and transparent.”
