HVO FAQs

Here, we have put together a series of Frequently Asked Questions based on what customers are asking us about HVO.

Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a paraffinic drop-in diesel alternative fuel, manufactured from 100% renewable and sustainable waste.

As a sustainable fuel on the market, it can be used as a replacement for diesel and can lower fuel-related net carbon emissions by up to 90% without any engine modification.

Practically FAME, sulphur and fossil free*, it is made using vegetable fats and oils. Unlike conventional biodiesel, hydrogen (rather than methanol), is used as a catalyst, which makes HVO cleaner burning and ensures a longer shelf life.

An example of a paraffinic diesel is HVO. A paraffinic diesel is a synthetic diesel with near-zero sulphur and very low aromatics content, reducing unregulated emissions of toxic hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). HVO meets the international fuel standard EN 15940, the specification for paraffinic diesel.

Yes. HVO is a type of biofuel – also known as a renewable diesel – produced from waste vegetable oils and fats. Hydrogen is used as a catalyst instead of methanol making it a more sustainable and eco-friendly biofuel option. 

HVO is suitable for on- and off-road vehicles, plant and machinery across a range of industries including construction, agriculture, road and rail transport, haulage, marine and the public sector. If your business is reliant on diesel or you have a large commercial fleet, HVO provides a real opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 90%.

Yes. HVO fuel is a completely compliant fuel that can be legally used to power on and off-road machinery and vehicles. HVO fuel can also be used as a heating solution, with minor boiler adjustments.
