Overview
Greenergy handles the sourcing, production, blending, storage, and distribution of transportation fuels across the UK, Ireland, and Canada, covering both traditional fuels and renewable options. Its biodiesel comes from waste feedstocks like used cooking oil and animal fats, processed through cleaning, distillation, and transesterification, then blended with diesel to lower emissions. The company differentiates itself by controlling the entire supply chain and building a large, global infrastructure to secure supply and scale renewable fuel production. Its goal is to support transport decarbonisation by providing reliable, cleaner fuels at scale while expanding renewable capacity to meet rising demand.
