BAM Infra Nederland is the first construction company to switch to the fossil-free Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel for all its asphalt equipment. With this fuel, BAM reduces CO2 emissions through its asphalt processing teams by up to 89%. In addition, this fuel also gives lower emissions of nitrogen, particulate matter and soot. For BAM, HVO fuel is the new standard for its asphalt equipment that now runs on diesel.<\/p>\n
Iwan Trompert, manager at BAM Infra Nederland: \u2018This is another great step in making our equipment more sustainable. It is the cleanest fuel we can currently use in our diesel engines. Naturally, we look at electrification, such as with our electric roller. Or to hydrogen. However, not everything is suitable for electric driving. And hydrogen is not yet a solution for this type of equipment in the short term. That is why we are now switching to HVO fuel. \u2018<\/p>\n
BAM has entered into an agreement with OK Oliecentrale for the supply of this sustainable fuel. Dennes Janssens, account manager at OK Oliecentrale: \u2018As one of the largest distributors of fuels and lubricants in the Netherlands, we naturally also offer our customers green alternatives: products that protect the environment or climate, or \u2013 in the case of HVO \u2013 the environment and climate , significantly less taxation. HVO \u2018s CO 2 emissions are minimal both during the production process and in use , which means that it can be reduced by up to 89% on balance. With this, companies such as BAM can immediately start operating more sustainably without modifications to the engine or machine. \u2018<\/p>\n
Sustainability ambitions
\nThe switch to HVO fuel is in line with BAM\u2019s sustainability ambitions. The company previously used its own manufactured 100% electric roller. And so the company looks at the options for the application of hydrogen. To have emission-free asphalt processing teams in the long run.<\/p>\n
What is HVO fuel?
\nHydrotreated Vegetable Oil, or HVO, is a synthetic diesel made from waste and residual flows. This makes it a direct replacement for fossil diesel oil and is possible without modifications in modern diesel engines. HVO is a pure synthetic product with a high purity. There is no risk of bacteria or flocculation in the tank, as is the case with biodiesel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
