What is HVO Fuel?

Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is an environmentally friendly diesel fuel produced by hydrogenating vegetable oils and waste organic oils, derived from fully renewable sources. Compared to fossil fuels, HVO emits lower carbon, minimizing environmental impact. With 7% lower density than diesel, minimal sulfur and aromatic compounds, and a higher cetane number, HVO ensures cleaner engine operation and better performance. Additionally, it can be blended with diesel fuels for ease of use without requiring changes to existing engine systems. Since HVO is produced through hydrogenation, it is oxygen-free, resistant to bacterial formation, and can be stored for long periods without degradation. Offering a reliable and eco-friendly fuel alternative for energy production and backup power systems, HVO can be sourced from various suppliers in compliance with the EN15940 standard, providing up to 90% carbon-neutral energy in backup generators. With these qualities, HVO stands out as a key alternative fuel in the transition to sustainable energy…”
