As the UK revels in festival season, Certas Energy is making a significant impact by fuelling events with sustainable energy solutions. At last weekend’s Isle of Wight Festival, Certas Energy supplied HVO renewable diesel in partnership with Vital Spark, a company specialising in temporary electrical installations and distribution for events and the entertainment industry.
Certas Energy HVO is a drop-in alternative diesel made from renewable raw materials and sustainable waste, including verified vegetable fats and oils. For events seeking to reduce their carbon footprint, the benefits of HVO are substantial. Certas Energy HVO offers an immediate reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90 percent and can also reduce engine noise, enhancing the festival experience by allowing attendees to better hear their favourite bands.
The Isle of Wight Festival, which attracts around 60,000 visitors over the weekend, utilised Certas Energy HVO to power 150 generators. These generators provided energy for the expansive campsite, stages, electrical distribution, and lighting equipment.
By partnering with Certas Energy and using HVO fuel, Vital Spark was able to support a more sustainable festival. This collaboration significantly minimised the environmental impact on the picturesque Isle of Wight, demonstrating a successful model for integrating renewable energy into large-scale events.
