Gas-to-liquid or GTL fuel, contains fewer harmful materials than standard crude oils, meaning reduced emissions up to 90% in particulate matter
Your NRG, an oil distributor based in the North East, is partnering with global energy giant Shell to transition to GTL Fuel, an alternative energy source.
Your NRG delivers over 300m litres of fuel to homes and businesses across the UK and has set targets to align with the UK’s net zero ambitions.
More sustainable- and equally efficient to diesel
Diesel fuel’s negative impact on the environment is well-documented, with a high sulphur content and emitting of particulate matter, both of which result in adverse effects on health and air quality.
The GTL alternative fuel minimises these adverse effects whilst boasting the same efficiency as standard diesel.
According to Shell, gas to liquid fuel can result in up to 37% reduction in NOx (nitrogen oxide) pollution for public transport vehicles, and up to 90% reduction in particulate matter for other machinery such as tractors and cultivators.
Already established in agriculture, Your NRG is looking to expand the use of gas to liquid Fuel into the UK construction sector.
Other benefits of GTL fuel include:
- High-performance cetane level improving starting conditions in cold temperatures
- Readily biodegradable and non-toxic
- Noise reduction in some engines due to more uniform combustion.
Commercial director at Your NRG, Lee Reason, noted that being an ‘Authorised Distributor’ of the cleaner GTL fuel is a ‘big step for the future fuels market’ in the UK and will go a long way to ‘reduc[ing] harmful emissions’.
“We believe that Shell’s GTL Fuel will play an important role in the transition to creating a cleaner, greener future for all, as we work towards achieving our ambitious 2050 net zero goals.”
Shell GTL Fuel commercial manager Nabeel Uddin added: “We are pleased to partner with Your NRG as our latest branded reseller of Shell GTL Fuel. It will enable more UK customers to access Shell’s synthetic fuel to help reduce harmful tailpipe emissions.”
