What is HVO fuel?

Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a premium, fossil-free paraffinic diesel made from certified waste materials like used cooking oil and animal fats.

Unlike conventional biofuels, HVO is a stable, high-performance “drop-in” alternative to standard diesel. It meets the EN 15940 specification, meaning it behaves like fossil diesel, just with a dramatically lower carbon footprint.

Benefits of HVO fuel

Instant carbon reduction

Cut net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 90% immediately.

Zero transition costs

No engine upgrades or new vehicle purchases are required.

Cleaner air quality

Reduces NOx and particulate matter emissions for a cleaner fleet.

Superior storage

Ideal for bulk buyers, with a shelf life of up to ten years, significantly longer than standard diesel.

Cold-start reliability

High cetane levels ensure excellent performance even in freezing temperatures.

Less engine maintenance

Cleaner combustion reduces soot build-up and can extend the life of your diesel particulate filter (DPF).

Switching to HVO fuel

Transitioning is simple. Because HVO is a drop-in fuel, you can start using it immediately—no vehicle changes required.

  • Bulk supply: We can get HVO delivered directly to your deport for maximum convenience.
  • Reliable supply: As an accredited supplier, we ensure consistent access to renewable fuel.

Is HVO fuel sustainable?

Yes. HVO is a sustainable alternative to fossil diesel because it is produced from renewable waste streams rather than finite fossil resources. It is designed to reduce environmental impact without competing with food crops.

  • Waste-derived feedstock: Our HVO is produced from verified waste materials, such as used cooking oil and animal fats.
  • Verified claims: The RFAS scheme audits and verifies all supplier claims regarding product greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
  • ESG and data-driven reporting: Fleet operators receive supply chain-specific GHG emission data for accurate ESG reporting.
  • Full transparency: You can receive a declaration detailing the fuel's origin and the exact GHG emission savings achieved.
  • Commercial edge: Use this verified data to support tenders for companies that require proof of supply chain emission reductions.
