DP World ends UK fossil fuel use

[ January 16, 2024   //   Chris Lewis ]

DP World has removed fossil diesel from its operations at London Gateway. Diesel-engine equipment and installations were switched over to run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) at the start of January. HVO, a renewable biodiesel derived from sustainable sources, will significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions and is expected to save around 8,300 tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year.

The move follows DP World Southampton’s transition to HVO 18 months ago, which resulted in carbon emissions being cut by 90%.
