This installation aligns with the company’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact and coincides with World Earth Day, a global event dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and action.
 

The newly installed HVO100 tank will power the company’s entire vehicle fleet and all diesel-powered models. With the approval of HVO for use in Yanmar 4LV engines, the Origin 57 and Origin 71 are now fully compatible with this renewable fuel.
 

HVO is a low-carbon fuel that provides up to 97% fewer net CO2 emissions compared to standard diesel, based on DEFRA’s Condensed Set of GHG calculations 2023. Evene acknowledges that CO2 emissions vary depending on feedstock sources and is working closely with its fuel partners to better understand its full environmental impact.
 

“This initiative further demonstrates our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint,” said Dan Bloice-Smith, Operations Director & Sustainability Chair. “Installing our own HVO tank at the Williams factory showcases the improvements we’re making to our operations. The approval of HVO for our large diesel models, which use Yanmar 4LV engines, is another major step forward. Our supply partner, Yanmar Marine International, has been excellent to collaborate with on this transition, and we share a vision of creating a brighter future for our planet.”

Floris Lettinga, Director of Sales and Marketing at YANMAR Marine International, commented: “At YANMAR Marine, we are committed to driving innovation in sustainable marine propulsion. The approval of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for our YANMAR 4LV engines marks a significant step towards reducing emissions in the industry. We are pleased to see Williams Jet Tenders take a proactive approach by installing their own HVO tank and leading the way in sustainable marine solutions. This initiative aligns perfectly with our vision of delivering high-performance, environmentally responsible power solutions for the marine sector.”
 

One of the most high-profile alternative fuels available today, HVO – also known as renewable diesel – offers a seamless transition from fossil diesel with no modifications required for Yanmar Marine engines, although please note that the fuel filter assy needs to be adapted on engines with older serial numbers. It meets the European EN15940 standard, has excellent oxidation stability, and is not prone to bacterial growth. It is derived from renewable waste materials such as used cooking oil, tall oil by-products, non-food-grade vegetable oils, and residue fat fractions.
 

World Earth Day was established in 1970 and has grown into a worldwide movement, engaging governments, businesses, and individuals in initiatives to protect the planet. The day serves as a reminder of the urgent need to combat climate change, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable practices. By aligning the announcement of its HVO tank installation with World Earth Day, Evene Tenders highlights its commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability within the marine industry.
