A trial of hydro treated vegetable oil on one
waste collection truck to try and reduce emissions
RESOLVED that
i. a trial of HVO in one waste collection vehicle for a minimum period of 12 months from September 2024 is endorsed.
ii. the purchase of a 5,000 litre fuel tank for the HVO to be stored and dispensed from the Commercial Centre from an existing capital waste collection budget is noted.
HVO is a ‘drop in’ fuel so there are no changes required to the vehicle it is to be
trialled in, the trial will allow a comparison to be made against the other vehicles on
how HVO impacts on costs and emissions when compared to diesel.
Continuing to run all the vehicles on diesel.
