Your NRG & Shell Team Up to Turn the UK Toward Cleaner Fuel
Ever wondered what happens when a tiny, independently‑run oil supplier decides to play nice with a giant like Shell? It’s a big win for the planet and for our farmers.
What’s the Deal?
North‑East’s own Your NRG has inked a major partnership with Shell. The aim? Sprinkle the UK’s farms and businesses with gas‑to‑liquid (GTL) fuel — the slick, cleaner-sounding name for a fuel that actually does a better job.
Why GTL is a Game‑Changer
- Fewer nasty chemicals than regular crude — ‘clean burn’ is the new slogan.
- Downsizing emissions like a boss.
- Super‑good starting power, especially when the weather’s icy.
Your NRG pumps out over 300 million litres a year to homes and businesses. By getting Shell’s GTL fuel into the mix, they’re taking a major stride toward the UK’s net‑zero ambitions.
Shell’s Numbers Speak
According to Shell:
- Up to 37 % fewer NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions for public transport.
- Up to 90 % fewer particulate matter particles in heavy gear such as tractors and cultivators.
Cheers From the Frontline
Lee Reason, Your NRG’s Commercial Director, said:
“Being an Authorised Distributor of the cleaner GTL fuel is a massive step for the future fuels market in the UK, and it’s going to cut harmful emissions down to size.”
“We’re excited that Shell’s GTL Fuel will help us sprint toward a cleaner, greener future for everyone as we chase our 2050 net‑zero goals,” Reason added.
More Perks of GTL Fuel
- Higher cetane level = smoother start even when it’s freezing outside.
- Lower noise in engines thanks to a more uniform combustion.
- Readily biodegradable and non‑toxic — a win for the environment.
Why It Matters
Regular diesel can be a health hazard due to its high sulphur content and particulate emissions. GTL breaks the mold by keeping the same efficiency as diesel, while cutting down the bad stuff that harms our air and health.
Shell’s Voice on the Connection
“We’re thrilled to partner with Your NRG as the newest branded reseller of Shell GTL Fuel,” said Shell GTL Fuel Commercial Manager Nabeel Uddin. “This means more UK customers can get access to synthetic fuel that chills the tailpipe emissions.”
