ACTIVITIES
Due to lacking viable short-term decarbonising options for longhaul transport, we piloted our mar- ket-based HVO100 solution idea and tested the audit proof processes and gathered customer feedback. In Q4 2023, we purchased the necessary amount of HVO100 to cover all our transport for the pilot and added this to the diesel network, which was distributed as regular diesel. We set up an administrative process including ISCC certificates, POS, and the Limited Assurance Document, audited by several accountants to ensure transparency, prevent double counting, and enabling the market-based solution reportable in our annual report.
Our account managers and customers were very positive about the initiative, and the business case for full roll-out was approved by management. We kicked-off internally before the press release and customer & stakeholder communication about covering all our international road transport in Europe with HVO100, annually ~4 million litres, was launched on April 22.
