East Midlands Airport (EMA) has taken a major step towards further cutting its carbon footprint as it partners with Your NRG’s renewable HVO Fuel.

In a fleet-wide conversion, more than 60 ground vehicles are now running on HVO Fuel, including airfield operations vehicles, security units, fire trucks, and snow ploughs, reducing carbon emissions by up to 90%. 

By partnering with the UK fuel distributor, the airport has fast-tracked its sustainability goals, aligning with Manchester Airports Group’s ambition to achieve zero carbon operations by 2038.

Already supplying HVO Fuel to a wide range of commercial customers, Your NRG brings proven expertise in cleaner, future-ready fuels.

HVO Fuel is a direct drop-in replacement for standard diesel that keeps operations running at peak performance while cutting emissions by up to 90%.

Made from waste vegetable oils and fats through a hydrogen treatment process, HVO Fuel slashes both carbon and particulate emissions.

It’s also fully biodegradable, making it one of the cleanest alternatives to fossil diesel available.

East Midlands Airport has a strong track record on sustainability, operating on a carbon-neutral basis since 2012.

Working with Your NRG means their fleet continues to operate at peak performance while meeting tough environmental standards.

Steve Griffiths, Managing Director of East Midlands Airport, said: “Working with Your NRG to convert our fleet of ground vehicles is a great step forward, with significant emissions reductions and other environmental benefits.”

Lee Reason, Commercial Director at Your NRG, commented: "We’re delighted to be working with East Midlands Airport to support its transition to renewable fuel.

“At Your NRG, we believe decarbonising transport operations is essential to delivering real environmental progress, and HVO Fuel offers an immediate, scalable solution.

“This partnership shows how forward-thinking organisations can drive down emissions today, not years from now, and we’re proud to be playing our part in helping the UK aviation sector build a cleaner, more sustainable future.”
