Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a groundbreaking solution in the domain of sustainable fuels. Derived from waste vegetable and animal fats, as well as used vegetable oils, HVO goes through a catalytic reaction with hydrogen, transforming these base materials into hydrocarbons. This resultant fuel is a versatile substitute for fossil fuels like diesel.
HVO is not only a fuel alternative; but an important shift away from traditional, environmentally taxing options. Its importance lies in significantly reducing particulate matter (PM) emissions by up to 80%, curbing harmful pollutants by up to 8%, and reducing carbon emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional fossil diesels.
HVO directly addresses the escalating challenges with air pollution, climate change, and the need to decarbonize certain sectors, such as the marine industry. By utilizing waste and residual biomass as base materials, HVO ensures sustainable production without competing with food resources. You can tackle your critical issue of emissions reduction whilst paving the way towards cleaner, more responsible energy sources.
