This strategic move is projected to reduce the carbon footprint of dnata’s HGV fleet by 77%, cutting carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by over 2,400 tonnes annually, the company said.
The initiative is part of the dnata Group’s continued efforts to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 in line with its eight-year strategy.
Alex Doisneau, managing director of dnata UK, said: “We are committed to implementing meaningful initiatives to maximise environmental efficiency. The introduction of biofuel, such as HVO, into our UK operations is another important step in our ongoing journey to reduce our carbon footprint.
“We will continue to invest in infrastructure and equipment to contribute to dnata’s global sustainability targets.”
dnata also uses biofuel in Australia, The Netherlands and the UAE. The company recently transitioned its entire non-electric fleet to biodiesel at Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum - Dubai World Central (DWC).
