East Midlands Airport Takes Off with Renewable Fuel from Your NRG!

Date Published: 19/06/2025

East Midlands Airport has made a bold move towards a greener future by converting its entire ground vehicle fleet to renewable HVO Fuel with Your NRG. This includes everything from airfield and security vehicles to fire trucks and snow ploughs.

This is a key step in the airport’s mission to reduce its carbon footprint and embrace more sustainable operations. The result? A 90% reduction in emissions, without impacting performance.

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.”

Why HVO Fuel?

HVO Fuel is a sustainable alternative to diesel made from waste vegetable oils and fats through a hydrogen treatment process. It acts as a drop-in replacement requiring no engine modifications, while significantly cutting carbon emissions. 

Beyond the environmental perks, HVO brings real practical advantages. It keeps engines running smoothly in cold temperatures, is biodegradable, and comes with the stamp of approval from leading OEMs across industries.

This move brings the airport one step closer to achieving zero carbon operations by 2038.

Lee Reason, Commercial Director at Your NRG, added: “We believe decarbonising transport operations is essential to delivering real environmental progress, and HVO Fuel offers an immediate, scalable solution.” 

Driving Sustainability Together

As one of the UK’s leading fuel distributors, Your NRG brings proven expertise in low-carbon fuels like HVO and Shell GTL Fuel, already helping businesses across transport, construction, and logistics cut emissions.

"We’re delighted to be working with East Midlands Airport to support its transition to renewable fuel.” Says Lee Reason.
