Total Carbon Offset Red Diesel To Help Meet Carbon Reduction Obligations
Independent national energy supplier, Crown Oil UK, has launched its latest
innovation a fuel with 100 percent carbon offset. Targeted at
businesses in construction, utility, plant and rail industries, the
standard red-diesel has been totally carbon offset in an arrangement with a
leading carbon offset provider, allowing users to more easily meet their
carbon reduction commitment.
Managing director, Matthew Greensmith, explained, Nine months ago, we
decided at Crown to carbon-offset the transportation of our commercial
diesel. This proved extremely popular, especially with clients in
construction, where the pressure to reduce the carbon impact of their
operations is intense. The new green diesel takes this a step
further.
The carbon credits purchased by Crown Oil UK on behalf of its customers
will go into worldwide carbon reduction projects. These may include: green
energy production by the combustion of the landfill gas one of the most
potent greenhouse gasses, reforestation projects to lock-up carbon this
often has additional benefits for wildlife, recreation and reduction in
flash flooding. These high quality carbon credits are retired from the
market, reducing the world capacity to produce carbon dioxide.
Over and above this, Crown Oil UK is actively taking further steps to
reduce their carbon footprint. This includes upgrading the tanker fleet to
more efficient vehicles and taking active energy saving steps in the
workplace with low energy bulbs, better controls and a comprehensive
recycling programme for waste material.
Crown Oil UK provides a nationwide service to the construction industry,
working with major contractors to provide fuel and secure storage to plant
depots and construction sites.
