Can you mix Renewable Diesel (HVO) with regular diesel?
In short, yes, you can. Renewable Diesel (HVO) has a similar chemical composition to fossil diesel, and it can be blended in any ratio.
Known as a ‘drop-in fuel’, Renewable Diesel (HVO) can be used in many existing diesel engines without any modifications, making it a convenient and sustainable alternative fuel.
However, before you use Renewable Diesel (HVO), you’ll need to check your ‘original equipment manufacturer’ (OEM) to ensure your vehicle, especially if it’s old, accepts this new fuel.
How green is Renewable Diesel (HVO)?
Using Renewable Diesel (HVO) can reduce your fleet’s greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%, improving air quality and supporting sustainability goals all while maintaining compatibility with existing diesel engines.
How is Renewable Diesel (HVO) produced?
Renewable Diesel (HVO) is mainly produced using waste materials such as used cooking oils and animal fats, promoting and incentivising recycling, and reducing the reliance on virgin feedstocks.
The production process of Renewable Diesel (HVO) is also highly energy efficient, resulting in a high-quality fuel with excellent energy content and combustion characteristics.
How does Renewable Diesel (HVO) perform versus fossil diesel?
Renewable Diesel (HVO) burns cleaner and offers a potentially smoother engine operation than regular diesel, and lower maintenance costs. In fact, it even performs better in cold weather!
Overall, Renewable Diesel (HVO) presents a practical and sustainable alternative to conventional diesel, offering numerous advantages for both the environment and vehicle operators.
Does Renewable Diesel (HVO) cost more than regular diesel?
Right now, yes. Renewable Diesel (HVO) typically costs around 10-20% more than regular diesel, but the price gap should decrease as production increases and the market matures.
So, while the initial cost of switching to Renewable Diesel (HVO) is higher, the long-term benefits of reduced emissions and maintenance costs can make it a worthwhile investment.
How is Renewable Diesel (HVO) labelled at fuel stations in the UK?
At fuel stations in the UK, Renewable Diesel (HVO) is labelled as B7 or B10. The B stands for Biodiesel while the number indicates the maximum percentage of biodiesel the fuel contains – 7% or 10%.
Renewable Diesel (HVO) labels are usually clearly displayed on fuel dispensers and nozzles, helping drivers fill up with the right fuel. The labels are also generally displayed near the fuel cap on newer diesel vehicles.
