B30 Biodiesel Blend Fuels Carbon Reduction Bid
(Argent Energy) Switching to Argent Energy’s 30 per cent biodiesel blend is helping a leading leaflet marketing specialist in its ambition to become carbon neutral by 2015.
EAE Ltd, who distribute display stands, tourist information leaflets and other promotional material to some 5,000 locations in Scotland have just taken delivery of 7 Citroen Relay vans which will run on Argent Energy’s B30.
The firm plans to switch the rest of their 21-strong fleet of vehicles by the end of 2012 saving some 80 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
…It is now standard for biodiesel to be used in a blend of up to 7 per cent biodiesel to 93 per cent mineral diesel, but after a successful trial with Stagecoach some buses now run on 100 per cent biodiesel and so can Argent Energy’s own truck fleet. In between, there is substantial demand for high percentage blends because of the carbon savings that can be delivered together with ease of use and the economic benefits that come with improved miles per gallon.
