When I follow that link I can see the page clearly for a fraction of a second and then it defocuses. The page also resists being scrolled in this state.

Sorry about that Paul, one of those sites where to see the content you have to click on the cookie acceptance thing to display it correctly. Like many many many others unfortunately. Simple story though this Rail Freight company are using HVO in their locomotives

I don't get those sort of messages any more as I'm using Brave as my browser.

[myglaren]

I use Brave too, although on Chromium tonight.

And you are correct, Brave can't seem to resolve it, just a blurry mess.
Despite Brave being a Chromium clone.

It's because Brave is set up as standard to suppress those annoying 'Accept cookies' pop-ups. Personally if a web site won't let me view their site without accepting cookies I'll just do without it.

The biggest of the UK Rail Freight operators DB Cargo are also trialling HVO

You are probably aware that you can click on the "Shield" icon and disable it for that site.

For the trial they sourced HVO from Crown Oil

I am but if they're not going to let me view the site without accepting cookies without an option to decline I'm not interested.

To complete the set of the "Big Four" railfreight companies in the UK and HVO, GB Railfreight point to the realities of HVO in relation to a reliable supply chain and cost. Some customers seeking to reduce the emissions of their own supply chains, may well be willing to pay the premium at the moment for HVO over conventional diesel. Plenty of trials, and the reality is that HVO is specced to be a direct replacement for conventional diesel so "does just work" but its more widespread use is dependant on cost and supply, stacked up against alternatives. GB Railfreight has this strategy.

Switching some diesel services to alternative fuels
We will be offering our customers the opportunity to switch to hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel for some diesel services. This is a diesel replacement fuel made from 100% renewable raw materials, that doesn't require any locomotive modifications or changes to infrastructure. However, because the supply chain for HVO fuel is critical and restrictive, and the cost currently prohibitive for some markets, we foresee only a 5% reduction in our locomotive fuel consumption by 2030, reducing to 10% by 2040 if the supply chain allows.
