Sustainable Solutions
Argent supplies waste-based biodiesel, high blend fuel and biogenic fuels to help customers significantly reduce their carbon emissions and support their sustainability goals.
By producing environmentally friendly fuel, our aim is to continue contributing to the global battle against climate change and help the UK maximise the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from transport among other industries.
We specialise in the supply of high grade, sustainable diesel for fleet operators, delivering to over 100 UK depots, from Kent to Dundee. With production facilities across Europe, Argent currently has an annual production of around 190,000 tonnes, with plans to soon double this
capacity
Argent Biodiesel Benefits
One of the main benefits of Argents distilled biodiesel is that you can start decarbonising your operation today by simply transitioning on to a High Blend Biodiesel. This can be done with little or no modifications to existing infrastructure or vehicles, and at little or no extra cost.
Argent Energy is approved by HMRC as a Registered Dealer in Controlled Oil (RDCO) for the supply of rebated fuels such as biodiesel and high-blend biodiesel. For more information on how to purchase, and to ensure legal use of these products, please contact our sales team.
What is Biodiesel?
SUSTAINABILITY
- B100 (100% pure biodiesel) offers around 90% CO2 reduction
- B20/B30 offers up to a 27% CO2 reduction
- Improved DPF performance which can reduce your nitrogen oxides (NOx) & sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions
TRANSITION
- Diesel engines will be here for a long time so biodiesel will actively support co2 reductions.
- Blended biodiesel acts as a simple drop-in-replacement
- Tank cleaning is recommended for blended biodiesel above 10%
PERFORMANCE
- Blended biodiesel can offer enhancements on vehicle performance
- B100 has a slight reduction in MPG and power, however the co2 reductions far outweigh the small loss in performance
- Biodiesel acts as a detergent, helping maintain vehicle and storage cleanliness
VALUE
- Blended biodiesel is comparable with fossil fuel from a price standpoint
- Government grants for certain industries such as bus companies may be able to receive a grant
- All products are 3rd party verified therefore in line with markets rates
Our Process
Our Process
Explore our biodiesel production process, Argent manufactures biodiesel of a superior quality, which has inherent advantages over fossil-fuel derived ULSD and other mineral based fuels.
Argent Biodiesel
Argent Fuels manufactures biodiesel of superior quality, which has inherent advantages over fossil-fuel-derived ULSD. We aim to provide our customers with the best economic and environmental value due to the high GHG savings available through our products.
Sustainability
All our biodiesel is made from waste fats and oils that have reached the end of their life. Using Argent’s sustainable second-generation biodiesel, you could cut your net C02 greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%.
By using biodiesel instead of fossil fuels, we avoid increasing the carbon on the planet’s surface and in the atmosphere. Instead, we utilise the carbon already in use on the planet’s surface. Being renewable means biofuel use does not add to the amount of carbon being recycled through the atmosphere, which means it does not increase the net amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) affecting climate change.
Performance
Argent Fuels adds performance-enhancing additives that can overcome the challenges of using biodiesel/ULSD in road transport. All our products have been through rigorous testing to ensure fuel quality adheres to UK and European Biodiesel standards.
Certified
Argent Fuels (through Argent Energy) is the first biodiesel manufacturer to be accredited through the Zemo Renewable Fuel Assurance Scheme, this gives our customers complete confidence that our feedstocks are sourced in the most sustainable way possible and our finished products offer an accurate and transparent CO2 reduction.

High-Blend Biodiesel
The ever-evolving processes utilised by Argent allow us to offer a range of high-blend biodiesel, ranging from 10 percent (B10), right up to 100 percent (B100), and everything in between. This means that we can help our customers significantly reduce their carbon footprint immediately by simply introducing a drop-in replacement fuel (up to B30) with no need to modify vehicles.
By switching to a B30 high blend (30 percent biodiesel and 70 percent fossil fuel), a vehicle operator can save up to 28% of their well-to-wheels greenhouse gas emissions.
About High Blend Biodiesel
Under the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), oil companies and fuel suppliers are obligated to use a proportion of biofuels in both their gasoline and diesel supplied to end users. This includes service stations, the bus and coach sector, logistics companies and fuel for non-road use such as construction or agriculture. The proportion is set to increase up to 2030 and beyond gradually. The current amount of biofuel in diesel typically supplied to these sectors is up to seven percent (commonly known as B7). Argent Fuels’ vision is to help reduce the world’s carbon footprint and we do this by supplying even higher blends such as B20 and B30 to companies that currently power their fleet by using conventional low-blend fossil fuel.
Drop-In Replacement: Effortless Reduction in your Carbon Footprint
High blends of up to 30% bio content, with the remainder being ULSD, works as normal in your existing infrastructure. This means you will receive all the benefits of biofuels, without the need to make vehicle or tank modifications. Using high blends helps to maintain tank cleanliness due to the surfactant characteristics within biodiesel, however it is worth having tanks cleaned prior to switching fuels.
