Lateral thinking is required Mark says there is not a “ one-size-fitsall solution to reduce fossil fuel use ”.
He highlights an alternative fuel , hydrotreated vegetable oil ( HVO ), which Ball Corporation is exploring alongside partners .
He says : “ HVO , while just one piece of a larger puzzle , can be used as a primary fuel source or combined with diesel and doesn ’ t require modification of vehicle engines or additional maintenance , making it a versatile and convenient option .
“ In our recent trials with Woodland Group , the use of HVO over the course of a 10-week trial period led to a significant saving of 207 tons and a 90.44 % reduction in carbon emissions , compared to journeys where HVO was not used .”
He adds that , In October 2023 , the company teamed up with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners to launch a trial of HVO part-fuelled vehicles in the UK .
