FAQs

How is HVO manufactured?

Renewable diesel is chemically similar to conventional fossil fuel based diesel but it is derived from sources such as cooking oil, fats, greases and vegetable oils. 

How long can I store HVO?


Renewable diesel has a shelf life of up to 10 years and does not require heated storage or any maintenance from additional additives meaning it can used throughout the year without any impact on performance when temperatures do drop. 

Is HVO reliable?

Renewable diesel has been designed to withstand temperatures of -32 degrees Celsius - this provides trouble-free usage throughout the winter months. As it does not contain oxygen, there is no risk of oxidation occurring and it cannot absorb water so there is no risk of microbial attack. 

Do I need to replace my tank or machinery?

No. HVO is 100% interchangeable with fossil diesel and can blended into existing supplies. This means there is no need to drain or clean fuel tanks before making the switch. 

Where can I use renewable diesel?

It can be used across a range of applications including; non-road mobile machinery, passenger cars, and light, medium or heavy commercial vehicles. 

How does it lower emissions?

The switch to renewable diesel means fewer pollutants from the first day of usage. It emits up to 9% less nitrous oxide; up to 33% fewer fine particulates; and up to 24% less carbon monoxide. It also brings a 90% net reduction in greenhouse gas CO2 emissions.
