Nobina awarded bonus from Helsinki public transport authority for switching to biodiesel

In Finland, Helsinki’s public transport authority HSL awarded Nobina an environmental bonus of SEK1.06 million (US$115,647) is a result of Nobina’s offer to switch from diesel to biodiesel during 2017. Nobina’s switch from diesel to biodiesel covers 680,000 liters of biodiesel, and will result in a reduction of 80 per cent in carbon dioxide emissions, 30 per cent in particulate emissions and 10 per cent in nitrogen oxide emissions compared with using normal diesel. The environmental bonus is a part of HSLs’ environmental programme of reducing emissions from public transport and thereby contributing to an improved air quality.
