Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a premium, fossil-free, sustainable alternative to diesel. Synthesized from 100% renewable raw materials, such as vegetable oils and certified animal oils and fats, HVO offers a cleaner way to fuel on- and off-road commercial fleets. During the manufacturing process, impurities are removed from the raw feedstocks. These are then hydrotreated to break down existing molecules and build them up again, creating a consistent carbon chain without the impurities found in traditional diesel or biofuels.
Yes, HVO is a drop-in alternative to traditional diesel that can be used without any modification to diesel engines or machinery. It can be safely mixed with mineral diesel. As a drop-in alternative, there is no need to replace or invest in extra fuel storage facilities, as it can be stored in the same tank as traditional diesel. HVO meets both EN15940 standards and Fuel Quality Directive 2009/30/EC Annex II and has been approved for use in many heavy-duty vehicles.
"The Road to Zero Strategy" outlines how the government aims to support the transition to road transport zero-emission by 2050. HVO supports this transition as it offers a sustainable, green alternative to diesel. It can be used in on- and off-road vehicles across various industries, including construction, agriculture, road transport, haulage, marine, and the public sector. By switching to HVO, businesses can significantly contribute to reducing their environmental impact and supporting global sustainability goals.
