AN oil distributor has announced the opening of a new, cutting-edge fuel depot in Halstead.

This marks the 14th depot opened across the country by independent oil company Your NRG.

The new Halstead depot is equipped to support the rollout of Your NRG's sustainable 'future fuels' offering.

Jeremy Royle, managing director, said: "The opening of our newest depot in Halstead is yet another example of the continuous investment that Your NRG is making on behalf of our customers.

“Our newly established terminal parking and direct supply agreements with the major oil companies means we can offer our customers even more of our dynamic and proactive pricing in all market conditions."

The oil distributor recently partnered with Shell to supply the agricultural sector with gas-to-liquid fuel, cleaner burn offering better combustion properties over conventional crude oil-based diesel. 

In turn, this helps to reduce emissions of air pollutants and support meeting local environmental regulations.

Mr Royle said: “The Halstead depot stands as a testament to Your NRG's dedication to innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric solutions.

“We look forward to leveraging this strategic location to better serve our customers and contribute to the ongoing evolution of the energy industry.”
