HVO

What is HVO?

HVO (Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil) is a synthetic diesel made from waste products, such as frying fat, animal fats or wood pulp. HVO can be mixed in all proportions with normal diesel oil.
Benefits of HVO
- Delivers up to a 90%, or greater, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions ‘from well-to-wheel’ compared to conventional diesel
- Heavy-duty Euro VI-compliant diesel engines already emit very low levels of NOX and particulates but by operating on clean-burning HVO, combustion is more efficient, even cleaner, and emissions are further reduced
- Sulphur-free, oxygen-free, and aromatic-free
- No vehicle modifications are required or changes to service intervals
- HVO can be distributed, stored and pumped using existing infrastructure and equipment
- It is a true ‘drop in’ product which can be used interchangeably with regular diesel
- Suitable for very cold weather conditions down to -47ºC; no additive or ASTM D975 1D diesel needed
