In Australia, Ampol has announced it will conduct a renewable diesel trial, with Hanson confirmed as its first customer partner.
The trial will allow Ampol to get a practical understanding of the customer demand and market feasibility of renewable diesel in Australia. Ampol will supply Hanson with a blend consisting of 20 per cent renewable diesel and 80 per cent ultra-low sulphur diesel in addition to its Ampol Amplify additives.
The announcement of the renewable diesel trial follows Ampol’s recent partnership with Japan’s largest oil company, ENEOS, to explore the production of renewable fuels at Lytton refinery.
