Renewable Diesel (HVO)
Renewable Diesel, or HVO, is a FAME-free and Fossil Free sustainable alternative to Fossil Diesel. Due to it’s characteristics it can be used as a direct drop-in replacement for both Red and White Diesel. Using HVO can mean an up to 94% reduction in CO2 greenhouse gas emissions from source to end user
What is HVO made from?
Renewable Diesel is made from certified waste materials (proof of source certificates are available). All materials use dare checked, verified and certified to ensure sustainability.
Do I have to modify my vehicle?
HVO is a direct drop-in replacement for both red and white diesel meaning there is no need for any engine modifications. Renewable diesel can be used in all diesel vehicles as well as generators, commercial boilers and machinery. It can even be used as a heating oil replacement with minimal changes to infrastructure.
What are the benefits of Renewable Diesel?
It is a renewable, sustainable and high-quality product which offers better combustion and cold temperature performance than traditional fossil diesel.
- Longer shelf life compared to other Biodiesel fuels with a shelf life of around 10 years
