Fuelling futures the right way.
Wherever you are on your journey to reducing your business’ emissions, we can help you do it the right way.
Your expert construction fuel provider
Every construction project needs efficient machinery and equipment. Downtime and non-compliance with legislation can be costly. That’s why we provide a range of fuel options and products to ensure your business is prepared. We supply plant fuels to developers, engineers, and contractors of all sizes, including white diesel/DERV, GTL fuel, HVO, lubricants, and fuel storage tanks. As a long-standing supplier to the construction industry, we know that top-quality products at competitive prices are crucial for your success.
Alternative liquid fuels
As the journey towards Net Zero Carbon 2050 accelerates, choosing cleaner-burning fuels is crucial. Red diesel duty equalisation in April 2022 prompted the construction industry to seek alternatives to gas oil. At Certas Energy, we supply high-quality, efficient alternative fuels to help meet net zero targets:
- HVO: A drop-in diesel alternative that reduces CO2 emissions without engine or infrastructure changes.
- GTL Fuel: An innovative, cleaner fuel that is quieter than standard diesel, improves air quality and offers operational benefits as a FAME-free, winter-grade alternative to diesel.
- Therma35: An industrial heating oil that requires no equipment modifications and burns more slowly than conventional gas oil.
Explore more about our cleaner fuel alternatives and how they support your business’s net zero goals.
Gas to liquid fuel
We’re right here with you on the journey to net zero. As the 2050 target becomes a bigger focus for all industries, preparing your construction business for the changes means you’ll be ready for whatever the future holds. Now is the time to explore alternatives, like GTL Fuel. Our gas-to-liquid fuel is suitable for commercial applications, it’s cleaner, quieter and lasts longer than traditional diesel. Reducing four main pollutants–Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Particulate matter (PM), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbons (HC)–GTL Fuel is a more planet-friendly choice for construction sites of all sizes than conventional fuels.

Tanks and fuel storage for the Construction industry
Maintaining fuel levels on a construction site is essential. Certas Energy provides safe storage solutions, including tanks suitable to your site or project needs.
Construction businesses storing over 200 litres of fuel must comply with current regulations and choose the right tank based on fuel type and storage requirements. Full details can be found on the gov.uk website.
Our team can assist you in selecting the appropriate tank. Learn more about fuel tank regulations in our helpful guide.
OEM approved lubricants
It isn’t just powering your plant and machinery that matters. Certas Energy Lubricants are fully approved by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and used throughout the industry. Hydraulic oils, engine oils and additives like AdBlue, Antifreeze and transmission oils can all prolong the life of your equipment, increase efficiency and maintain legislative compliance.

Construction Fuel FAQs
“Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a paraffinic drop-in diesel alternative fuel, manufactured from 100% renewable and sustainable waste.
As a sustainable fuel on the market, it can be used as a replacement for diesel and can lower fuel-related net carbon emissions by up to 90% without any engine modification.
Practically FAME, sulphur and fossil free, it is made using vegetable fats and oils. Unlike conventional biodiesel, hydrogen (rather than methanol), is used as a catalyst, which makes HVO cleaner burning and ensures a longer shelf life.”
