UK lifting solutions company Ainscough Crane Hire reports that it has become the first national crane company in the world to commit to using HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) across its entire fleet. The move will cover Ainscough's 400+ cranes and 30+ transport and heavy goods vehicles. Ainscough anticipates that the adoption of HVO will result in a CO_2 reduction of up to 90%. An additional 5% reduction has been achieved through wider energy-saving initiatives with the residual circa 5% met via the use of UK-based residual carbon offsetting, making the company carbon-neutral. Ainscough is sourcing HVO through a guaranteed sustainable supply chain. HVO can be used as a direct replacement for diesel - meaning no modifying of Ainscough's fleet is required - and has a storage life over ten times that of traditional diesel, providing consistent performance in all conditions. Crane manufacturer Liebherr has supported the extensive trials of HVO across Ainscough's fleet to confirm emissions, performance and viability. |
