Benefits of HVO Fuel

✔ Up to 90% reduction in net CO2 greenhouse emissions: significantly better for the environment than regular diesel or bio diesel

✔ Renewable, sustainable and 100% biodegradable: synthesised from waste fats and vegetables

✔ Drop-in replacement for regular diesel & gas oil: meets EN15940 standard for paraffinic fuels and Fuel Quality Directive 2009/30/EC Annex II. A wide range of OEM approvals means it can often be used without needing engine and machinery modification

✔ Excellent cold-weather performance: higher cetane number (up to 90) and low cloud point provides better starting performance, clean combustion and less chance of waxing in extreme temperatures

✔ High flash point: improved safety, storage and handling compared to regular diesel

✔ Reduced need for regular testing: impurities are removed during the production process, eliminating the key factors for fuel degradation and increasing shelf life to around 10 years.

HVO Fuel vs Fame bio diesel

The comparison between HVO and FAME biodiesel is like a heavyweight boxing match in the world of sustainable fuels. In one corner, we have HVO (Hydro Vegetable Oil), the clean-cut champion of sustainability, boasting lower emissions and compatibility with all diesel engines.

In the other corner, we have FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) biodiesel – a more traditional contender with its own set of merits but also some significant drawbacks such as susceptibility to cold weather.

When it comes to choosing between these two titans for your fuel needs, remember this: HVO may be pricier than FAME biodiesel but offers superior performance and environmental benefits.
