HVO Diesel (Renewable Diesel)
HVO is a renewable diesel fuel made by hydrotreating vegetable oils and waste fats, usable in many diesel engines without changes.
What is HVO Diesel (Renewable Diesel)?
It meets the EN 15940 paraffinic diesel standard. Many manufacturers have approved HVO for their diesel engines. It is sold pure as HVO100 or blended into regular diesel. In Germany, pure HVO100 has been allowed at public fuel stations since 2024.
How it works
Hydrogen treatment turns oils and fats into clean hydrocarbons similar to fossil diesel.
Why it matters for your car
Check the manufacturer’s approval list or fuel cap label first. Its CO₂ benefit depends on the raw materials used.
