A sustainable alternative to diesel

What is HVO?

HVO, short for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, is a bio-based liquid fuel that serves as an excellent substitute for mineral diesel. It is derived from various vegetable oils and undergoes a hydrotreatment process to produce a renewable and environmentally friendly fuel source. HVO fuel is designed to be compatible with a wide range of applications, including modern vehicles, generators, construction machinery, and industrial power systems.

 

Who needs HVO?

HVO fuel presents a valuable solution for individuals, businesses, and industries seeking to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a greener future. It is particularly relevant for those in the transportation, energy, and construction sectors who depend on diesel fuel for their operations. Additionally, HVO provides an alternative for anyone concerned about air quality and keen on achieving the UK’s ambitious environmental targets.

Why should you use HVO fuel?

By embracing HVO fuel, you not only embrace a greener energy solution but also align with the UK government’s initiatives for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Renewable alternative

HVO fuel is a sustainable alternative to standard diesel, as it is derived from vegetable oils rather than fossil fuels. By utilising HVO, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable energy system.

Eco-friendly

It’s biodegradable, meaning it poses no harm to the ecosystem. This characteristic ensures that any potential spills or leaks of the fuel will not cause long-term environmental damage.

Enhanced safety

HVO fuel improves safety in terms of handling and storage. Its properties make it less prone to ignition and explosion risks, providing peace of mind for users.

Extended shelf life

It has an impressive shelf life of up to 10 years, making it a reliable and convenient option for long-term storage or emergency preparedness.

Wide temperature range

HVO fuel exhibits excellent performance even in extreme weather conditions, with the ability to function in temperatures as low as -32°C. This versatility ensures reliable operation in various climates and environments.

Carbon reduction

Adopting this fuel supports national and global efforts to reduce carbon emissions. By utilising a renewable and sustainable fuel source, you actively contribute to carbon reduction targets and help combat climate change.
