PepsiCo will convert over 40,000 liters of used oil into hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) at its snack plant in Burgos, Spain, which will power the company’s fleet of lorries that transport PepsiCo products.
The HVO use is estimated to save 380 metric tonnes of CO2 per year.
HVO is a 100% vegetable-based biofuel said to be able to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90%, however, its availability is limited.
PepsiCo’s primary, secondary, and fleet transport accounts for 11% of its emissions in Spain, Italy, and Portugal.
PepsiCo is promoting and extending HVO use to eliminate the use of diesel in the medium term.
The company has also launched a pilot test in collaboration with Spanish supermarket chain Dia for transport with ‘duo trailer’ trucks, which function “like a train carriage” and transport up to six tons of snacks.
Javier Pérez Martínez, head of sustainable transport for PepsiCo Europe, said they are doing their bit to reduce greenhouse gases and advance their sustainability strategy.
