Biofuel switch for UK fleet cuts dnata’s CO2 emissions: Dnata, a global air and travel services provider, continues to take initiatives to reduce its environmental footprint throughout the world. In the UK, dnata’s Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) fleet of 70 trucks at London Heathrow Airport (LHR) has switched to run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a fossil-free alternative to regular diesel. This strategic move is projected to reduce the carbon footprint of dnata’s HGV’s fleet by 77%, cutting carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by over 2,400 tonnes annually. This is comparable to the greenhouse gas emissions from over 530 average petrol-powered passenger vehicles for 12 months. 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.”
