ACCIONA | BUSINESS AS UNUSUAL
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), is a renewable diesel fuel made from used cooking oil from restaurants and food processing.
According to the National Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reporting Scheme, HVO is considered to reduce the vast majority of Scope 1 emissions (tailpipe emissions) compared to traditional diesel.
ACCIONA is one of the first in our industry to trial HVO on our projects, and by doing so, we are not just reducing our own emissions, we are collaborating with others to encourage the wider adoption of HVO and help to kick-start a domestic HVO industry.
We are a leading, global company with a business model based on sustainability.
Our aim is to respond to society's main needs through the provision of renewable energy, regenerative infrastructure and water treatment services.
For over 100 years we have built a global reputation for delivering complex, large-scale infrastructure and energy projects with a distinctive hallmark for innovation, environmental sustainability and social purpose.
In Australia, ACCIONA builds on the successful history of household names in construction like the Geotech Group, Coleman Rail, John Bever, Abigroup, Lendlease Engineering, Hornibrook and AW Baulderstone.
There has never been a better time to join the industry leader in sustainable infrastructure and energy solutions.
We're proud to announce a groundbreaking innovation in sustainability and circular economy: the world's first surfboard made from decommissioned wind turbine blades. In collaboration with professional surfer Josh Kerr and his surfboard brand, Draft Surf, we've created 10 prototype surfboards that utilise retired turbine blades.
ACCIONA has unveiled Turbine Made, Australia’s first initiative dedicated to repurposing decommissioned wind turbine blades into sustainable materials and products. This initiative advances circular economy solutions for renewable energy infrastructure.
The world is celebrating equality today for a sustainable tomorrow and the renewable energy sector is leading the way.
