Wholesaler JW Filshill is working with Scottish Power to decarbonise its commercial vehicle fleet after the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding.
The wholesaler is looking to utilise green hydrogen in order to reduce its carbon footprint significantly as it drives towards net zero.
Fishill estimates that, by switching to a renewable fleet, it will save 1,100 tonnes of CO2 from being deposited into the atmosphere each year.
“Filshill continues to work towards reducing our carbon footprint and reaching our goal of becoming net zero,” said chief financial and operating officer Keith Geddes.
“As a delivered wholesale business, our fleet of vehicles make up a large proportion of our carbon footprint. Therefore, exploring options such as using hydrogen instead of diesel are extremely important to us.”
Green hydrogen is the only form of hydrogen fuel that is carbon neutral. Scottish Power has been a leading player in its development since 2020.
“Green hydrogen offers companies like JW Filshill a zero-carbon fuel alternative that can support their business over the long term,” said Scottish Power hydrogen director Barry Carruthers.
“We’re looking forward to working with JW Filshill over the coming months to see how best it can support their company well into the future.”
