BAM has committed to running all of its UK construction machinery using recycled cooking oil, contributing to goals focused on reducing carbon emissions from its activities.

Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is an advanced renewable fuel derived from waste products and it reduces net CO₂ emissions by as much as 90%.

In 2020, as part of its work delivering construction and infrastructure schemes across the UK, BAM consumed 7.1m litres of red diesel, around 70% of the company’s total direct carbon footprint. By changing to HVO, net CO₂ emissions from construction machinery will reduce by up to 90%.
