HVO is produced from 100% renewable raw materials, including vegetable oils and animal fats, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuel diesel. By opting for HVO, we can significantly reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources.
A significant advantage of HVO is its compatibility with existing diesel engines. It can be used directly as a replacement for conventional diesel in both on- and off-road applications without requiring engine modifications, making transitioning to a greener fuel source straightforward and cost-effective.
The production of HVO involves a process called hydrotreatment or hydrogenation. In this process, waste vegetable oils or animal fats are combined with hydrogen under high pressure and temperature. This reaction removes oxygen and impurities, producing hydrocarbons that are then converted into fuel.
HVO significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions, offering up to a 90% reduction compared to traditional diesel. It also reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, minimising carbon footprint. Additionally, HVO helps decrease nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
HVO boasts a longer shelf life and superior oxidation stability than other biofuels, ensuring the fuel maintains its quality over time. Its excellent combustion properties and performance in cold weather conditions often surpass those of traditional biodiesel (FAME). With a high cetane number, HVO ensures efficient ignition and smooth engine operation, enhancing overall vehicle performance.
Rock Oil’s HVO suits various diesel-powered vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and commercial fleets. Whether for a single vehicle or an entire fleet, HVO provides a sustainable fuel solution that delivers exceptional performance. Its clean-burning properties make it ideal for use in industrial machinery and equipment, helping to maintain engine health and reduce maintenance costs.
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a renewable, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional diesel. It offers a practical and impactful way to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality. Each litre of HVO used contributes to a greener future.
