London Gatwick's head of engineering Steve Kelso talks about HVO

London Gatwick has cut carbon emissions from its diesel vehicles by 90% by swapping the fuel for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). The switch means London Gatwick will save more than 950 tonnes of carbon emissions per annum. HVO is a low-carbon biofuel made from plant waste, oils and fats making it a more sustainable and lower-carbon alternative to diesel. We caught up with the airport's head of engineering Steve Kelso to talk us through what it means for the future https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/environment/london-gatwick-slashes-carbon-emissions-from-diesel-vehicles-by-swapping-fuel-for-hydrotreated-vegetable-oil-4534469
