Specifications of HVO EN 15940

If you’re looking to switch from a traditional fossil fuel to a renewable alternative, HVO is fully miscible with diesel which means that you can make the switch today without having to make any upgrades or modifications to existing equipment.

You’ll be reducing the net GHG emissions of your fuel consumption by up to 90% and reducing the maintenance costs of storing your fuel thanks to the fact that HVO is free from FAME. HVO has a low CFPP (-27°C) and contains zero aromatic, sulphur, or fossil content – providing exceptional cold weather performance and a clean burn.

If you’d like to reap the full benefits of HVO we can uplift your old fuel and clean your tanks before feeding HVO supply into your storage tank.

We can supply as much HVO as you require within 24-48 hours thanks to our vast network of fuel depots and stock stored onsite. To view the specifications of our renewable fuel, take a look at the table below.
