UK power generation company OKs Syntech ASB B100 biofuel across its fleet

In the UK, following an extensive program of trials conducted over several months across both Stage III and Stage V generators, Speedy Hire approved Syntech ASB B100 biofuel for use across its entire power generation.

The trials demonstrated that Syntech ASB performs in line with conventional EN590 diesel, with no loss of performance, no operational issues and no impact on SCR or DPF functionality. The only equipment adaptation required was the straightforward replacement of standard cellulose fuel filters with B100-compatible alternatives.

Working collaboratively with Syntech, we have demonstrated that a UK-produced B100 biofuel can provide the construction industry with a practical and immediately deployable alternative to fossil diesel. Importantly, Syntech ASB will be available across Speedy’s entire power fleet with no rental price uplift, enabling customers to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, while at the same time benefiting from full fuel duty relief.

With UK-sourced waste feedstocks, UK production and a transparent, traceable supply chain, Syntech ASB provides customers with greater confidence over the origin, sustainability and security of their fuel.

This collaboration between Speedy and Syntech represents a significant step forward for the construction industry. It gives contractors and infrastructure clients access to a credible lower-carbon fuel solution across a nationwide power fleet, allowing meaningful emissions and carbon reductions to be achieved today using the equipment already operating on sites across the UK.
