HVO

The quickest and easiest way to reduce your CO2 emissions and future-proof your business.

HVO (Hydrated Vegetable Oil) is a drop-in fuel, which means you can start reducing your CO2 emissions with your current fleet and use it without any restrictions in diesel engines. The preferred feedstocks for producing HVO are either animal fat residues or used cooking oils, which can deliver a CO2  reduction of up to 90%.

Immediate
emission reduction:

  • HVO allows transport operators to start reducing their fleet emissions instantly, based on existing engine technology and refueling infrastructure.
    HVO leads to a CO2 reduction of up to 90% on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis including production, transport and combustion.

Sustainability at its core:

  • HVO, a "second generation" advanced biofuel, is synthetically produced by hydrotreating vegetable and animal oils. This process creates high-quality bio-based diesel fuels without compromising fuel logistics, engines, or emissions. Eurowag offers CO2 certificates compliant with ISCC standards.

ESG compliance:

  • In today’s business environment, emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria is critical. Companies are increasingly evaluated on their sustainability practices and ethical impacts. Transporters must focus on reducing carbon footprints and promoting sustainable practices to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations.

Environmental impact:

  • Compared to regular diesel, HVO boasts impressive environmental benefits, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90%, solid particle and hydrocarbon emissions by 30%, carbon monoxide emissions by 24%, and nitrogen oxide emissions by 9%. These reductions contribute significantly to cleaner air and a healthier environment.

Why HVO matters for the industry:

  • Checked dark
    Recognizing the industry‘s need for immediate emissions reduction in response to global pressures and a growing emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, HVO becomes an easy to use alternative.
  • Checked dark
    It offers transporters an efficient pathway to meet customer demands for improved sustainability and a smaller carbon footprint. This biofuel allows for immediate emission reduction, allowing transporters to take significant steps without the necessity for modifications to their existing fleet.

Testimonials

We approach the issue of sustainable logistics responsibly, which is why we strive to be the first to bring our customers the latest trends and innovations that support our long-term goal of reducing CO2 emissions. Therefore, we have started exploring the new sustainable fuel HVO100, which can be used in a standard diesel engine vehicle without any modifications. This allows us to reduce the CO2 emission burden by up to 90%, which is the most significant benefit for our customers.

Testimonials

During a three-month test of two trucks running on a regular route using HVO fuel, our drivers did not notice any changes in vehicle performance or fuel consumption compared to diesel. We conducted the testing to verify fuel consumption, check sustainability certificates and greenhouse gas emissions, and determine whether this fuel is an acceptable choice for us and our customers. The certificates and format of the information, which we adjusted in collaboration with the supplier, now meet our certification requirements and comply with the sustainability criteria set out in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). The results show that HVO is a suitable alternative with no negative impact on operational parameters.

Q&A for customers:

What is HVO, and how does it differ from conventional diesel?

HVO is a so-called second generation or advanced biofuel (made from wastematerial, in comparison to first generation biofuels made from food crops)

Hydrotreating of vegetable & animal oils isa modern way to produce very high-quality bio-based diesel fuels without compromising fuel logistics, engines, exhaust after-treatment devices, or exhaust emissions. These hydrotreated vegetable oil (“HVO”) fuels are referred to as ‘renewable diesel’.

 Is HVO the same as biodiesel?

Renewable diesel, or HVO, should not be confused with biodiesel or FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). HVO has a similar chemical composition to fossil diesel, whereas biodiesel has a different composition, therefore, they cannot act as a substitute for each other. A FAME portion above 7% requires a modification of the engine.

What is the feedstock for the HVO you sell?

All HVO fuel that we sell is compliant with EU regulation designed to secure the quality and sustainability of HVO, including the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD)and Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) sustainability criteria & feedstock restrictions, which limit the use of high-risk indirect land use change biofuels and promote advanced biofuels derived from non-food feedstocks such as waste and residues.  The market is constantly growing and developing, and Eurowag is actively working with our suppliers to secure the best possible quality product for our customers. Eurowag can provide a proof of origin certificate to customers.

Is HVO available for all vehicles, and where can it be refueled?

Yes, HVO can be used in standard diesel vehicles. Theofficial fuel label for HVO is XTL. You can refuel HVO at Eurowag truck parks in Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia and at more than 320 filling stations in Eurowag’s acceptance network.

How is Eurowag prepared for the adoption of HVO?

Eurowag is committed to supporting lower carbon alternative fuel solutions. Our filling stations are ready to offer HVO, and we are prepared to respond quickly to customer demand, potentially aided by reduced excise taxes compared to conventional diesel.
