Merseytravel leads UK B30 biodiesel trial

In the UK, Merseytravel and Stagecoach Merseyside—two bus operators in Liverpool—are launching a new fuel initiative based on vegetable oil under the European BIONIC project which is funded by the European Commission and Intelligent Energy Europe programme and coordinated in Europe by Merseytravel.

The two year trial will provide refuelling infrastructure to allow six Stagecoach vehicles to run on a greener blend of fuel – a B30 biodiesel mix supplied by NW producer Convert2Green.
