John Bleasby's latest Climate and Construction column looks at why Canadian construction is missing the ‘green diesel’ opportunity.
RYE GROUP — A Komastu 360 hydraulic excavator operated by the Rye Group is refuelled on site with HVO fuel.
In simple terms, there are basically two types of diesel fuel alternatives; first and second generation. It is produced from non-food materials, including residual and waste products from industry and households. That makes it more complex to produce than biodiesel, but it can be used as a direct substitute for conventional diesel.vegetable oil and fats and supplemented with an organic additive. It can be used as a direct substitute for regular diesel either in standby or prime applications.
Rye committed to reducing their fuel emissions with the objective of inspiring change within the construction industry. The company began substituting standard red diesel with HVO in all its site equipment and machinery in August 2021.“We are hugely excited to have taken such a significant step to reducing our environmental impact. As an organization we are heavily focused on making a positive difference.
