In the UK, Packaging Europe reported that Ball Beverage Packaging and Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) have announced a new trial in which their vehicles will be partially fueled by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).
The twelve-month trial began in October, and the companies say that it could help to reduce supply chain CO2e emissions by around 300 tons per year, according to the report.
Approximately 5000 deliveries will be powered by a blend of HVO and diesel fuel which will supply the CCEP site in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, UK, the report added.
According to the companies, the benefit of using HVO is that, if fully implemented, it has the potential to save up to approximately 90% of the carbon footprint related to supply chain transportation, from production of the can to the final delivery stage to the customer.
