Certas Energy
COMPANY PROFILE
Beyond the pump: Our comprehensive list of energy solutions While many still think of Certas Energy simply as a fuel supplier, the company has evolved far beyond this limited definition. Today, it offers a comprehensive suite of energy solutions tailored specifically for construction and demolition applications. Its product range includes standard white diesel alongside premium fuels like GTL (Gas-to-Liquid) Fuel, which offers significant environmental and performance benefits for construction machinery. The company also provides lubricants, AdBlue, and fuel management services that help contractors optimise their energy usage. “What sets Certas Energy apart is our consultative approach,” notes Peter. “We don’t just deliver fuel; we work with clients to understand their operational challenges and develop bespoke solutions that address their specific needs. We are now a one- stop-shop for our customers.” This approach is exemplified by their fuel management systems, such as Certas Energy’s FuelWise telemetry system, which allow construction firms to monitor consumption in real-time, identify inefficiencies, and prevent theft—a persistent problem on construction sites, as well as reduce overall fuel costs.
Case Study: Powering London’s high-rise demolition Perhaps nowhere is Certas Energy’s impact more evident than in their work supporting major demolition projects. One standout example involves their partnership with a leading demolition specialist dismantling a 22-storey tower in central London. The project presented numerous challenges: restricted access, strict noise and emission regulations, tight deadlines, and the high-profile nature of working in a congested urban environment. Certas Energy developed a tailored delivery schedule, providing out-of-hours fuel deliveries to minimise disruption to the surrounding area. They also supplied GTL Fuel, which significantly reduced local emissions and noise levels from the high-reach demolition excavators—a crucial factor in obtaining continued local authority approval for the work. The fuel quality was critical given the technical demands of high-reach equipment. Any machine stoppage at height presents serious safety and logistical challenges. Certas Energy understood the stakes and delivered a solution that kept the machines running continuously throughout the 14-month project. The project was completed ahead of schedule, with the client estimating that Certas Energy’s reliable fuel supply and technical support prevented at least seven days of potential downtime—representing significant cost savings on a project of this scale.
