In Australia, the large distances and scale of the operations provide significant challenges for the immediate reduction of reliance on diesel and the decarbonisation journey. There are lots of potential solutions being developed and we look forward to these becoming available for a range of applications. While we wait for the 100% renewable solutions, Hy-Boost offers a low cost option that provides an immediate impact by reducing fuel consumption and delivering significant emissions reduction.

Shell's largest acquisition in Europe since I've been in this role has been to bring Nature Energy inside Shell. A great story here of the circular benefits of the #biomethane (or #RenewableNaturalGas) production chain which benefits farmers in #Denmark and elsewhere on the continent, reduces agricultural #methane emissions, as well as producing a low-carbon renewable fuel for cooking, heating and powering trucks. #poweringprogress #energytransition #renewableenergy

With carbon-reduction a core focus for hauliers and their customers, the latest generation of sustainable ‘drop-in’ fuels, such as HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil), could provide the answer. Freight in the City has therefore partnered with DAF Trucks to bring to life the potential of using HVO across your fleet in a topical webinar taking place on Wednesday 16 June. You will learn from DAF Trucks how HVO is compatible with existing Euro-6 models without needing any engine modifications and how the fuel plays a key part in the manufacturer’s environmental strategy. While supplier Green Biofuels will be on hand to talk through the practical aspects of Green D+ HVO’s properties, from emissions reduction through to different options for refuelling, availability and costs. Well-known bakery Hovis is already using HVO across its national fleet, and you’ll also have the opportunity to learn from its on-road experience from head of logistics operations support Tony Stuart. HVO is featured in the recently launched Renewable Fuels Assurance Scheme from Zemo Partnership, which provides independent verification for operators that all high-blend renewable fuels meet three key performance criteria: lifecycle GHG emissions; feedstock sustainability and supply chain traceability. https://lnkd.in/dRQ3V-2C #hgv #carbon #carbonemissions

Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation in Ireland primarily arise from the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes. One alternative solution gaining traction is BioCNG (compressed Biomethane). In Ireland, concerted efforts are underway to establish a network of BioCNG refuelling stations, providing a clear pathway towards decarbonising the transport sector.

Great article featuring the partnership between Werkhoven Dairy (one of our Northwest Dairy Association producers) and the Tulalip Tribes! 🤝 This digester partnership helps the dairy manage their waste to prevent nutrient runoff & uses the methane from manure and food waste to power a generator, which produces enough renewable energy for nearly 700 homes!💡 Give the article a read (or a listen) to learn about the project's next steps that focus on extracting the granulated carbon from methane to produce pure hydrogen, a cleaner fuel with only water vapor as an emission.💧 #sustainablefuture #renewableenergy #sustainabledairy https://lnkd.in/gTrtdFdX

🌱 GreenEdge Renewables: A Pioneer in Sustainable Agriculture and Waste Management GreenEdge Renewables is making strides in the field of sustainable agriculture and waste management. The company utilizes anaerobic digestion technology to convert organic waste into renewable natural gas (RNG) and enhanced-efficiency fertilizer. 🤝 📜 Key Points: The Inflation Reduction Act has catalyzed the growth of anaerobic digestion infrastructure, positioning GreenEdge Renewables at the forefront of this movement. The company produces RNG from diverse organic sources, offering a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. 🌿 Innovative Approaches: GreenEdge Renewables goes beyond RNG production by creating GreenEdge® enhanced-efficiency fertilizer from nutrient-rich digestate, a byproduct of RNG production. This approach contributes to circular agriculture, promoting nutrient upcycling and reducing reliance on traditional synthetic fertilizers. 📈 Industry Implications: The company's strategy exemplifies the potential of converging waste management, energy production, and agriculture. As demand for renewable energy grows, GreenEdge Renewables' utilization of anaerobic digestion technology addresses both energy needs and environmental concerns. Feel free to share this post to keep your network informed about significant developments in sustainable agriculture and waste management. 🌿📈 #GreenEdgeRenewables #SustainableAgriculture #WasteManagement #AnaerobicDigestion #RenewableNaturalGas #CircularEconomy

Currently, the cost of using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is approximately double that of traditional diesel. But, if nobody uses HVO, the price will never come down. We hope our use of HVO will lead to the wider adoption of this remarkable fuel (which is made by reusing vegetable oils and fats) and will help kick-start a domestic #HVO industry. Eventually, this will provide a significant carbon-reducing option for every heavy vehicle operator in Australia. Last year, we purchased 46,000 litres of HVO through the ACCIONA decarbonisation fund, for use at the MacIntyre wind farm construction in Queensland. We're working with the Australian Constructors Association (ACA) to encourage an increased uptake of HVO.

🌱 Exciting News! Yara and Acme have signed a binding agreement for the supply of green ammonia. We are thrilled to announce that Yara and Acme have joined forces to advance sustainable agriculture and combat climate change. Through this partnership, we will work together to supply green ammonia, a crucial component for eco-friendly fertilizer production. Green ammonia is produced using renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, and emits zero carbon dioxide during production. By incorporating green ammonia into our fertilizer manufacturing processes, we are taking a significant step towards reducing our carbon footprint and promoting a more sustainable future for agriculture. This collaboration exemplifies our commitment to innovation and sustainability, as we continue to explore new ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote environmentally friendly practices in agriculture.

Thanks to Michael Schneider and OPIS for covering DCAS efforts to achieve 50x25 GHG reduction in fleet as outlined in the NYC Clean Fleet Plan. We will discuss more at this year's fleet show. 2024-02-13 10:58:41 EST ***Biofuels May Help New York Reach 2025 GHG Reduction Goals Early: Official New York City's use of biofuels could help it reach its 2025 goals for greenhouse gas reduction this year, an official said at the recent Clean Fuels Alliance America conference in Fort Worth, Texas. "It absolutely could," Keith Kerman, deputy commissioner at the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, told OPIS after his appearance on a panel. "We are right on pace. We're in 2024 and, really, all of the fundamental pieces are in place. We are really at the very tail end of fully replacing all fossil diesel in the fleet." The NYC Clean Fleet Plan of 2015 goal was a 50% greenhouse gas reduction by 2025 for the city fleet from 2005 levels. Mayor Eric Adams in November outlined a plan to make the city the first on the East Coast to transition all heavy-duty vehicles in the fleet from fossil to renewable fuel. "Almost every city agency vehicle -- sanitation department, parks department, Department of Transportation -- has run on 100% renewable diesel ever since September," Kerman said. "And police and fire vehicles are making that transition now. "We operate 5,000 off-road equipment pieces -- everything from front-end loaders to agricultural tractors to snow melters to asphalt pavers -- all of it is going to use RD95 and B5, so there's still a biodiesel blend." The goal has also become more attainable through the use of electric vehicles, according to Kerman. When the 2015 plan was announced, it listed an expectation of 2,000 electric vehicles by 2025, he said, and that figure was later updated to 4,000, a total that still fell short. "We will certainly operate more than 6,000 electric vehicles by the end of next year," said Kerman. "So we've really gone beyond when we made that commitment." --Reporting by Michael Schneider, mschneider@opisnet.com; Editing by Jordan Godwin, jgodwin@opisnet.com
