The issue of global climate change has highlighted the importance of reducing our environmental impact, particularly in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. One significant way to reduce your CO2 emissions is by using HVO fuel, which is a renewable alternative to diesel fuel, made from vegetable oils and animal fats. Let\u2019s explore why HVO fuel is becoming an increasingly popular choice for those looking to go green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is HVO fuel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
HVO stands for “Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil”. This type of fuel is produced when plant-based or animal fat-based feedstock (like waste cooking oil) is put through a hydrotreating process that removes the oxygen from it. This process breaks down the hydrocarbon molecules to create a renewable, clean-burning fuel that still meets all modern diesel vehicle specifications and standards. In other words, HVO can be used in any engine that runs on diesel, without needing any modifications to the engine itself or the exhaust system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
