Viva Energy launches six-month HVO100 demo with Cleanaway in Australia

In Australia, Viva Energy launched 100 percent Renewable Diesel with Cleanaway last week, which is running a six-month demonstration of the cutting-edge technology that can play a role in reducing emissions in the Australian transport sector.

The demonstration will involve Cleanaway operating two waste collections trucks – one municipal side-lift service in the City of Casey and a front-lift organics collection service. The project creates an opportunity for councils and businesses to immediately reduce their Scope 3 emissions.

The Renewable Diesel Viva Energy supplied was Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, or HVO, an alternative to traditional fossil fuel-derived diesel. HVO can be made from waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from vehicles by up to 90 percent.
