Fuel supplier Certa has opened a hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel station in Ireland, HVO is a biofuel suitable for diesel vehicles.
It is produced from plant waste and other products not intended for human consumption from the food industry and can reduce carbon emissions.

The station, which cost over €1m to build, is the first of its kind in Ireland. HVO will be available at its Liffey Valley location alongside diesel and unleaded petrol.
Certa said its new strategy will focus on making the fossil-free biofuel more widely available to motorists in Ireland.
It has also started to upgrade its network of 41 unmanned ‘pay@pump' forecourts across the country to offer HVO at fuel pumps.
Newly upgraded forecourts, including stations in Clarehall, Clearwater, Ballymount, Ashbourne and Drogheda, will open before the end of this year.
