Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), launched at the beginning of 2021, is made from 100% renewable raw materials. According to the manufacturer, vegetable oils and various wastes and residues are used as source materials. Compared to using fossil fuel oil, choosing renewable heating oil reduces greenhouse gas emissions generated during the life cycle of the fuel by up to 90%.
Renewable heating oil can be used to power various machines and as a fuel for heating. In terms of performance and heating value, it has very similar properties to light oil or diesel. HVO burns with a slightly bluer flame than light oil.
