Fuelling futures the right way.
Wherever you are on your journey to reducing your business’ emissions, we can help you do it the right way.
Your expert construction fuel provider
Every construction project needs efficient machinery and equipment. Downtime and non-compliance with legislation can be costly. That’s why we provide a range of fuel options and products to ensure your business is prepared. We supply plant fuels to developers, engineers, and contractors of all sizes, including white diesel/DERV, GTL fuel, HVO, lubricants, and fuel storage tanks. As a long-standing supplier to the construction industry, we know that top-quality products at competitive prices are crucial for your success.
Alternative liquid fuels
As the journey towards Net Zero Carbon 2050 accelerates, choosing cleaner-burning fuels is crucial. Red diesel duty equalisation in April 2022 prompted the construction industry to seek alternatives to gas oil. At Certas Energy, we supply high-quality, efficient alternative fuels to help meet net zero targets:
- HVO: A drop-in diesel alternative that reduces CO2 emissions without engine or infrastructure changes.
- GTL Fuel: An innovative, cleaner fuel that is quieter than standard diesel, improves air quality and offers operational benefits as a FAME-free, winter-grade alternative to diesel.
- Therma35: An industrial heating oil that requires no equipment modifications and burns more slowly than conventional gas oil.
Explore more about our cleaner fuel alternatives and how they support your business’s net zero goals.

Gas to liquid fuel
We’re right here with you on the journey to net zero. As the 2050 target becomes a bigger focus for all industries, preparing your construction business for the changes means you’ll be ready for whatever the future holds. Now is the time to explore alternatives, like GTL Fuel. Our gas-to-liquid fuel is suitable for commercial applications, it’s cleaner, quieter and lasts longer than traditional diesel. Reducing four main pollutants–Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Particulate matter (PM), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbons (HC)–GTL Fuel is a more planet-friendly choice for construction sites of all sizes than conventional fuels.

Construction Fuel FAQs
“Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a paraffinic drop-in diesel alternative fuel, manufactured from 100% renewable and sustainable waste.
As a sustainable fuel on the market, it can be used as a replacement for diesel and can lower fuel-related net carbon emissions by up to 90% without any engine modification.
Practically FAME, sulphur and fossil free, it is made using vegetable fats and oils. Unlike conventional biodiesel, hydrogen (rather than methanol), is used as a catalyst, which makes HVO cleaner burning and ensures a longer shelf life.”
What is HVO used for?
HVO is suitable for on- and off-road vehicles, plant and machinery across a range of industries including construction, road and rail transport, haulage, marine and the public sector. If your business is reliant on diesel or you have a large commercial fleet, HVO provides a real opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 90%.
