Press Release - Rye Transitions Road Vehicles to HVO

As a result, Rye Group have forecast an impressive 1,724 metric tonnes reduction in carbon emissions by autumn 2022, almost completing its target to slash all fuel emissions by 90% by the close of 2023.

Managing Director, Simon Barlow, confirmed: “Reducing our environmental impact is incredibly important to the entire team at Rye Group and since launching our own Sustainable Standard philosophy in early 2020, I am delighted that we are making such positive progress with simple but effective changes in how we operate.

“As one of the first demolition contractors to roll out the use of HVO across all company related vehicles, we are hopeful that others will be inspired to trial the diesel alternative, resulting in widespread industry change.”

Made of used cooking oil and supplemented with an organic additive that reduces carbon emissions by 90% and NOx emissions by 30% when compared to diesel, New Era’s HVO Green D+ was chosen by Rye Group due to the sustainable nature of its production. In addition, the fuel is fully certified back to source to ISCC standards, in line with the Renewable Energy Directive.

Committed to improving its environmental impact, Rye’s switch to HVO follows the success of its exceptional recycling and reuse rates, together with other impactful sustainability measures.

Originally founded in 2006, Rye Group’s Sustainable Standard is driven by the five key pillars of People, Safety, Quality, Environment and Community, ensuring it delivers positive impact through its work.
