What is Renewable Diesel - HVO?
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is transforming the way we think about sustainable fuels. Made from waste oils like used cooking oil and animal fats, HVO turns what would be discarded into a powerful, low-carbon alternative to fossil diesel.
How is HVO produced?
Unlike traditional biodiesel (FAME), HVO undergoes hydroprocessing to remove oxygen, sulfur, and aromatics, resulting in a stable, clean-burning fuel. Its paraffinic nature ensures efficient combustion, reducing emissions like particulate matter, NOx, and greenhouse gases, making it a superior alternative for cleaner energy.
Unlike some other biofuels HVO also doesn’t rely on virgin crops, helping to avoid deforestation, land-use conflictsand loss of food production. As industries push for greener solutions, HVO offers a scalable, efficient way to drive sustainability forward.
Benefits of HVO
Both renewable diesel and HVO offer several advantages:
Compatibility: They can be used in existing diesel engines without modifications.
Emission Reductions: They significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Sustainability: They help meet environmental targets without compromising performance.
OEM Approvals: Approved by manufacturers like CAT and Cummins.
A Future with Sustainability in Mind
Renewable diesel and HVO are crucial in the transition to sustainable fuels, providing an immediate and effective solution for reducing emissions and achieving sustainability goals.
