The shortlist for the UKIFDA Green Award 2024, sponsored by Oilshield, has been revealed, signalling the hunt for the liquid fuel distribution industry’s ‘green leader’ is almost over.

This year’s Green Award will be a tight-run contest between finalists Certa and Eliminox.

We’ve reviewed applications from businesses of all sizes, learning about everything from innovative carbon emission-reducing technologies as well as alternative fuels and additives, to companies implementing strategies to minimise harm to the environment.

Best of luck to the two finalists from all of us at UKIFDA!”
