EMG reveals results of green fuel switch

Max Miller
It has saved over 300 tonnes of emissions after one year

EMG has revealed the results of switching to HVO Green D+ fuel in its OB trucks.

The company installed its own HVO fuel station at its High Wycombe HQ in 2021, and has since saved over 300 tonnes of carbon emissions - or the equivalent of powering an average UK house for over 103 years.

EMG’s bonded HVO Green D+ fuel tank has the capacity to fill all EMG’s diesel trucks, tenders and support vehicles when in base, and HVO Green D+ fuel can deliver up to 90% reductions in net CO2 greenhouse emissions, when compared to regular diesel. It is made from waste and renewable feedstocks (classified by EU’s REDII legislation) – waste and residues from industry that are unfit for animal or human consumption.

Rohan Mitchell, director of ESG at EMG, said: “EMG has ambitious long-term targets for sustainability. We are committed to making a meaningful reduction in our environmental impact by driving forward a climate mitigation programme, which has been running since 2018. We are always working with our valued partners and stakeholders to help to drive actionable change. We have an ongoing commitment for a more sustainable business and are continually reviewing our activities to accelerate a clean and green culture.”

Simon Cook, head of fleet and support services at EMG UK, added: “We are passionate about supporting the broadcast industry by minimising our tail pipe emissions. The results of our HVO usage have been very promising and we are exploring options to maximise its reach to the furthers corners of our operations. There is no sign yet of a ‘one size fits all, solution so we are currently analysing what fleet applications could be supported by alternative fuel technology such as battery, hydrogen and any new innovations that can help us reduce our emissions. We’re due to launch further initiatives on this over the coming months.”
