Rix Bio Diesel

Rix Bio Diesel: "Local Biodiesel distributor, Rix Biodiesel, are today celebrating a major contract to supply the fuel to Wincanton Logistics. The company, who deliver logistics solutions, have decided to trial the fuel in conjunction with one of their main companies, Air Products.

Air Products will be using Rix Biodiesel across its Hull based ERF fleet, which is fully equipped to monitor all aspects of fuel use from emissions to miles per gallon. With the focus on alternative fuels increasing the new contract will help Rix to further grow its biodiesel business whilst also helping companies such as Air Products reduce their emissions.

Duncan Lambert, Marketing Manager for Rix Biodiesel said:

'We are delighted that Wincanton and Air Products are using our Bioblend 5. With growing demand for fuel around the world the interest in alternative fuels such as biodiesel is at an all time high. Not only is our product renewable but it also offers reduced emissions and is much better for the environment. It is our belief that Biodiesel is the fuel of the future and we are planning to convince more organisations that using biodiesel is good for all areas of their business.'"

Rix Bio Diesel || A Greener Future

Rix Bio Diesel || A Greener Future: "Bio diesel is the only ‘drop in fuel’ replacement for existing fuel types. In a mineral blend bio diesel does not require any modifications to be made to the vehicle and in a 95% mineral diesel, 5% biodiesel blend actually improves fuel efficiency. Using vegetable and animal oils, either pure or used, means that not only is the main raw material renewable, it also contributes to environmental issues by using up residual oils whilst the new crops absorb CO2 gases created whilst burning the fuel in a diesel engine. By adding bio diesel to mineral oil supplies we will be able to extend the existing fossil fuel reserves.

This will be of particular importance to the UK as the country is set to
become a net importer of oil within the next 7 years."
