Certas Energy has launched an HVO fuel tank leasing initiative to help customers keep their costs down.
It said that a recent survey had shown four in 10 businesses believed sustainability was “less important than keeping costs down”.
Certas said it would smooth the transition to the renewable fuel by offering a complete tank hiring solution, which removed the need for an upfront purchase.
The steel tanks come as standard with FuelWise Telemetry, servicing and enhanced security features.
It claimed that choosing to hire an HVO tank could reduce year one costs by almost 90%.
Consumption of HVO in the UK almost reached 700 million litres in 2024 and Certas Energy said it expected the growth in demand to continue rising for the rest of the decade.
Darren Holloway, Certas commercial director for energy solutions, said: “Our ‘tanks for hire’ offering is all about putting our customers in control of their fuel management, addressing the high upfront costs associated with buying a tank while making the whole process more convenient.
“Businesses have told us what they’re looking for and we’ve developed precisely that - this is fuel management on customer terms.
“This is a great option for the growing number of companies, particularly in haulage, logistics and construction sectors across the UK, that are looking to commit to a wider scale trial or roll-out of HVO.
“Being able to hire our tanks has made the switch to renewable HVO more attainable and simpler than ever before.”
