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.
