“In addition to the positive environmental effects, the gas engine offers a very good operating cost.”
Jaques Chapin,
Manager of STB, Biocoop’s wholly-owned transport company, France
Electrified
92% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel (hybrid and HVO combination). The hybrid runs on electrical power, in combination with a biofuel. This greatly reduces fuel consumption, leading to lower emissions.
HVO
90% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) can be made from waste oil, rape seed oil and animal fat, and used to create high-quality, bio-based diesel fuels.
Bioethanol
90% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Produced from waste sugar cane, wheat and corn, it’s easy to produce and is likely to be sustainable in large volumes in the future, globally.
Biodiesel
66% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Biodiesel (or FAME, as in fatty acid methyl ester) can be made from rapeseed and waste cooking oil. Available in large quantities, it can also be blended with diesel.
Biogas
90% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Biogas is a mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter, including agricultural and municipal waste.
Natural gas
20% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard diesel. Natural gas is methane from pockets in the Earth’s crust. Although it’s a fossil fuel, it emits less CO₂ than diesel.
