ExxonMobil Hong Kong Ltd. announced Aug. 8 that it has become the first supplier of renewable diesel for public road use in Hong Kong.
“The launch of Esso Renewable Diesel R20 at the Esso Tsing Yi South service station marks a milestone in providing customers with an accessible and immediate solution for reducing their greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions,” the company stated.
Esso Renewable Diesel R20 is a high-quality renewable diesel with an estimated 15.4 percent lower lifecycle GHG emissions compared to conventional diesel.
Made with minimum 20 percent renewable content, Esso Renewable Diesel R20 is suitable for immediate use with all existing diesel engines, delivering protection and cleaning power with the proprietary Esso Synergy™ additive.
It is currently available at the Esso Tsing Yi South service station and through bulk delivery to commercial customers.
“We are excited to introduce Esso Renewable Diesel R20 to Hong Kong,” said Mabel Leung, ExxonMobil’s fuel-sales director for the Asia-Pacific region.
“We are proud to be the pioneering supplier in Hong Kong, offering diesel customers a drop-in replacement fuel for public road use that can be used immediately with all existing diesel engines without requiring any modifications,” Leung added. “This initiative demonstrates our commitment to providing lower GHG-emission solutions for the transportation sector in Hong Kong.”
Tony Kwok, ExxonMobil’s fuel-sales director for Hong Kong and Macau, stated, “We urge the government and the commercial-vehicle community to consider lower GHG-emission fuels, such as renewable diesel, as a way to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions with minimal change to their current diesel-vehicle operation.”
