Certas Energy: cutting emissions with AdBlue
With a drive to improve air quality across the country, the heat is on businesses across the UK to drastically reduce their emissions, according to Certas Energy.
The company cites the National Emission Ceilings Regulations 2018, which require the UK to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by 73 per cent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels.
“NOx refers to a group of gases, namely nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, which are formed when burning fossil fuels and have been proven to contribute to air pollution,” said Certas Energy.
“AdBlue has proven to be a powerful leading technology for reducing the harmful NOx emissions produced by diesel engines. It can effectively reduce these emissions to a harmless vapour of nitrogen and water, aligning businesses with meaningful and proactive environmental initiatives. This also empowers businesses using AdBlue to fall in line with government regulations regarding environmental output and emissions.
“Beyond being simple and effective, AdBlue is already being used by tens of thousands of businesses across the UK… to support in achieving NOx emission reduction targets.
“Also known by its technical name, AUS 32, ISO 22241 NOx emission reduction agent, AdBlue is injected into the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, where it converts toxic NOx into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. “
For fleet managers, says Certas Energy, maintaining AdBlue supply isn’t just best practice – it’s essential risk management. In addition to the risk of exceeding emission limits, the company highlights the possibilities of reduced performance and failed engine starts.
“With a range of pails, barrels, IBCs and bulk deliveries available across nationwide businesses and HGV refuelling sites with AdBlue, Certas Energy can provide the volume, tanks and accessories required to support UK businesses to fall in line with European standards.
“As the UK’s largest independent distributor of ISO 22241-compliant AdBlue, Certas Energy supports businesses of every size with reliable supply, nationwide coverage and expert handling.
“From residential customers to multinational companies, we apply the same safe and considerate approach to everything we do; helping businesses to reduce pollution and keep moving forward the way they should.”
