ExxonMobil introduces renewable diesel in Hong Kong

ExxonMobil Hong Kong Limited (EMHK) has announced a groundbreaking development in sustainable transportation with the launch of Esso Renewable Diesel R20, the first renewable diesel available for public road use in Hong Kong. This innovative fuel, now available at the Esso Tsing Yi South service station, provides an accessible solution for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Esso Renewable Diesel R20 is a high-quality fuel with a minimum of 20% renewable content, delivering an estimated 15.4% reduction in lifecycle GHG emissions compared to conventional diesel. Compatible with all existing diesel engines, the fuel offers excellent protection and cleaning power, enhanced by the proprietary Esso Synergy™ additive. It is available not only at the service station but also through bulk delivery to commercial customers.

Mabel Leung, director, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Fuels Sales, expressed excitement over this launch. “We are excited to introduce Esso Renewable Diesel R20 to Hong Kong. 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. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to providing lower-GHG emission solutions for the transportation sector in Hong Kong.” 

Tony Kwok, director, ExxonMobil Hong Kong & Macau Fuels Sales, 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.”
