Argent Fuels, a leading provider of carbon-saving fuels in the UK, is accelerating its efforts to support a greener future. The expansion of its High Blend Biodiesel will supply to bus, coach, HGV fleets and rail in the south of the UK. This growth is a key part of the company’s commitment to scaling operations and maximizing CO₂ reductions across the transport sector.

As part of Argent Energy, Argent Fuels supplies carbon-saving fuel directly to fleets of HGVs, buses, and coaches across the UK. The company produces its own waste-based biodiesel, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil diesel. In 2008, it became the first UK business to supply high-blend biodiesel on a commercial scale. Today, Argent Fuels powers more than 9,000 diesel vehicles nationwide, including those run by leading transport providers such as Metroline and Transdev.

The current specification for fuel on UK roads is limited to a B7 blend (7% biodiesel, 93% fossil diesel). Argent Fuels offers customers the opportunity to use High-Blend Biodiesel, which includes blends of up to B30 (30% biodiesel, 70% diesel). This allows fleets of buses, coaches, trains, and HGVs to cut fossil fuel use and lower CO₂ emissions, helping to reduce overall greenhouse gases.

To better serve customers in the south of the UK, Argent Fuels has recently opened a blending and distribution center that covers the South East, East Anglia, London, and the Home Counties. Strategically located near key national transport hubs, the new distribution center offers easier access to High Blend Biodiesel. This helps fleets in the region to reduce their CO₂ emissions more efficiently.
