Certas Energy is supplying hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) to power major events at the Silverstone circuit, including the Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix. At least 250,000 litres of HVO were involved in the operations, which included powering generators for mobile kitchens, lighting, and stages for live music events. The partnership marks the third year Certas Energy has supplied HVO to the track, which is part of its 'Shift to Zero' initiative.
