Certa and Skoda Ireland Team up to Supply HVO to New Car Buyers

04 Mar 2024

Certa, a DCC Energy business, and Škoda Ireland, have today launched a new joint campaign aimed at encouraging owners and would-be buyers of new diesel cars to use HVO biofuel to lower their motoring carbon emissions by up to 90%.

The leading car brand and Certa are partnering on the initiative aimed at creating awareness of the benefits of using hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as a replacement for diesel.

As part of the awareness and promotional campaign, Škoda is providing buyers of diesel Škoda models with a Certa HVO biofuel voucher of either €250 or €500 depending on the model of car purchased. The promotion will apply to cars purchased in the month of March.

HVO biofuel is usually sold at a slightly higher cost than diesel. Certa currently has an offer which matches the price of HVO with that of diesel. Certa is also in the process of upgrading its network of 41 unmanned, pay@pump forecourts to offer HVO at all fuel pumps alongside other fuels.
