    Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil

    Renewable diesel fuel to help reduce your carbon footprint

    HVO fuel is a FAME-free and fossil-free environmentally-friendly alternative to mineral diesel with a wide range of OEM approvals for use in modern vehicles, generators, construction machinery and industrial power systems. HVO fuel is part of the paraffinic family of fuels. Paraffinic diesel is a high-quality and clean liquid fuel with zero sulphur or aromatic content. It’s synthetically made through the hydrotreatment process from vegetable oils or animal fats which allows it to significantly reduce harmful emissions when used in diesel vehicles and machinery.

    Who can use HVO fuel?

    With a paraffinic petrochemical structure, HVO is almost identical to fossil diesel and can therefore be used and handled as a drop-in alternative to fossil diesel without needing to amend infrastructure or clean out existing stock. However, while similar to regular diesel in terms of energy content, density, viscosity and flash point, HVO fuel presents many benefits over the fossil fuel.

    HVO is commonly used in:

    • Agricultural tractors & machinery
    • Boats & vessels operating within inland waterways
    • Portable generators at events, festivals & film productions
    • Construction equipment & machinery
    • Industrial trucks & tankers

      Frequently Asked Questions – HVO Fuel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil)

      1. What does HVO stand for?
      HVO stands for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil. It’s a high-quality renewable diesel made from raw materials such as used cooking oil, animal fats, and other fatty acid-rich oils through a process called hydrotreatment.
      Unlike fossil diesel, HVO is a paraffinic diesel fuel with zero sulphur, FAME, or aromatic content. It’s a cleaner-burning alternative that helps cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% and delivers a longer shelf life of up to 10 years.
      Yes. HVO is a drop-in replacement for red diesel or white diesel, meaning it can be used in existing diesel engines and infrastructure without any modifications or tank cleaning. It meets EN 15940:2016 fuel standards and is OEM-approved.
      HVO reduces net carbon dioxide (CO₂) by up to 90% and also lowers nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide emissions. It helps reduce dependency on fossil fuels while offering safe, clean, and sustainable performance.
      HVO production uses waste-based raw materials such as used cooking oil, oils and animal fats, and other renewable fatty acids. While some HVOs may be made with palm oil, Barton Petroleum prioritises sustainable sources wherever possible.
      Yes. HVO is a proven alternative to diesel with a high cetane number, excellent cold-weather performance, and better combustion. It’s ideal for customers seeking a renewable fuel with performance comparable to red diesel (gas oil).
      HVO is suitable for a wide range of applications, including construction equipment, agricultural machinery, portable generators, boats, and industrial vehicles. It’s fully compatible with most commercial and industrial diesel systems.
      As an experienced HVO diesel supplier, Barton Petroleum delivers renewable diesel directly to your site, often within 48 hours. We ensure consistent product quality, a secure supply chain, and flexible service across all sectors.
