O'Donovan to move to HVO13 September 2022

O'Donovan Waste Disposal is to switch to hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a renewable fuel that is said to eliminate up to 90% of net carbon dioxide emissions.

The alternative fuel is also expected to reduce nitrogen oxide by up to 30%, particulate matter by up to 86% and carbon monoxide emissions by up to 90%.

O'Donovan operates with a fleet of 100 heavy goods vehicles, serving the construction and demolition sectors throughout London and the home counties.

The company will transition all HGVs to HVO by October.

Jacqueline O'Donovan, managing director at O'Donovan, said: “I feel we have a duty to lead by example and moving to solely HVO has an immediate positive impact on our carbon footprint and we would encourage others to follow suit.”
