HVO has been one of the leading choices in alternatives to fossil fuels for a while now. This is a hydrogenated vegetable oil that reacts with other oils under immense pressure and high temperatures. The HVO fuel price <\/a>may be higher than the charge for regular fossil diesel at the moment, but its use results in up to 90% fewer carbon emissions. HVO fuel<\/a> is thought to be the future of fuel, and various industries are increasingly looking to utilise it in their production and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HVO is a beneficial form of fuel because it contains very few impurities and burns cleanly. It is also made from renewable sources and does not contain Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), one of the leading causes of problems in terms of fuel storage and fuel blockages that result from biodiesel. FAME degrades over time due to oxidation which may result in residual deposits. The contents of fuels that contain FAME are also prone to fold-flow waxing and precipitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HVO, on the other hand, contains high volumes of molecules which burn easily for faster ignition and combustion. What\u2019s more, it reduces smoke and particulate emissions. It\u2019s also a great drop-in replacement for many fuels, including diesel, gas oil, and kerosene and can be mixed and blended with these and other traditional fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HVO can perform well in cold weather and is capable of being stored safely for long-term use. Using HVO will also reduce emissions of CO and CO2 from your vehicle because of its high hydrogen to carbon ratio. Some even claim that it reduces NOx emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because the supply of fossil fuels is steadily being phased out, alternative fuels are much sought after, and many industries are adapting to HVO. Some industries that currently use HVO fuel include the transport sector, home heating suppliers, and more. The main reason for the increasing popularity of HVO is how helpful it is in meeting the UK\u2019s decarbonisation goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although supply is currently limited, new technologies and production plants are gearing up to increase their output. At the moment, the low availability is making HVO fuel prices<\/a> much higher than counterparts, but this will inevitably drop once production levels become steadier over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biofuels are likely to play a significant part in the long-term solution to the UK\u2019s energy needs. And although supply is still limited, HVO still poses one of the best ways for the UK to reach its goals in the short term. The industry should be encouraged to continue to find ways to increase the supply so that more individuals and businesses can use it for their operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
