HVO is both easy to use and significantly lowers carbon emissions compared to standard diesel fuel. These benefits make it an attractive alternative.
Combine benefits of LNG/bioLNG and Eurowag fuel card throughout our wide acceptance network to save more!
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’.
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.
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.
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.
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.
