Mammoet to Adopt HVO Fuel Across Netherlands, UK, and Canada

Mammoet has announced it will begin using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel across its operations in the Netherlands, UK, and Canada starting Q2 2025. 

The shift to HVO fuel is part of Mammoet’s broader carbon reduction strategy, driven by growing demand from clients seeking lower-carbon solutions. HVO, a renewable diesel alternative made from vegetable oils and animal fats, can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional diesel over its lifecycle.

Mammoet will aim to use HVO100, comprising 100% renewable raw materials, wherever possible. This fuel is compatible with most diesel engines and can be blended with current fuel stocks, enabling immediate integration into operations.

The transition is being supported by major internal efforts, including updates to fueling infrastructure and process changes across its local organizations. Mammoet’s fueling stations in the Netherlands, as well as at its UK hubs in Hixon and Teesside and sites in Canada, will all begin receiving HVO deliveries.

“This is a significant step we are taking to reduce our carbon footprint,” said Pascal Eeken, Improvement and Innovation Manager at Mammoet Europe. “By being the first large heavy lifting and transport company to commit to this new fuel at scale, we will drive down our emissions and showcase that we are also the market leader on this front.”

The adoption of HVO complements Mammoet’s wider sustainability investments, which include battery-operated SPMTs, electrification of large ring cranes, and other electric-powered equipment.
