HVO – the fuel for a low carbon future
Lower your fuel-related net carbon emissions by up to 90% without any engine modification by moving to HVO Fuel
What is HVO fuel?
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a drop-in diesel alternative. It offers a cleaner way to fuel both on and off-road machinery, providing an instant reduction of CO2 emissions without the need for changes to engine infrastructure or machinery.
Manufactured from 100% renewable and sustainable waste, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a paraffinic drop-in fuel that can be used as a replacement for diesel, meeting EN15940 standards.
How is HVO made?
FAME, sulphur and fossil free, HVO is part of the paraffinic fuel family. It is a second-generation biofuel, made from vegetable oils or animal fats. Unlike first-generation biofuels, these raw sources are processed using a specialist hydro-treatment to achieve high levels of purity. The result is a stable fuel with a long-shelf life and excellent performance year-round.
