HVO Heating Oil Price, Costs, and Procurement

Managing the HVO heating oil price is a primary factor for commercial operations transitioning to renewable energy. Prema HVO100 provides a controlled cost structure to facilitate clear, long-term budget forecasting.

 

  • Carbon Savings: No financial savings compared to diesel it’s a premium schools storage is pertinent won’t be using it if using gas oil  
  • Wholesale Economics: Prema Energy’s wholesale delivery infrastructure ensures the HVO heating oil price remains tightly controlled, minimising supply chain markups.
  • Price Risk Management: Our procurement team provides bespoke hedging strategies to manage the HVO heating oil price over contract periods, insulating operations from market volatility.

Unmatched Emission Savings: Switch to Renewable Heating

Transitioning to Prema HVO100 provides quantifiable environmental benefits, supported by independent certification and is the gold standard as a viable alternative to traditional Fossil based fuels.

 

  • Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction: As a renewable fuel, HVO100 delivers the highest possible cut in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a liquid fuel, achieving up to 90% Net CO₂ reduction compared to conventional fossil heating oils. 
  • Local Air Quality: The clean-burning characteristics  measurably reduce local emissions, including Particulate Matter (PM), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and Carbon Monoxide. 
  • Clean & Odourless: HVO100 is virtually odourless and burns with a higher combustion efficiency compared to standard kerosene or gas oil, noticeably reducing harmful local emissions, including Particulate Matter (PM), NOx, and Carbon Monoxide. 
  • Certification: The fuel is fully ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) and RFAS (Renewable Fuels Assurance Scheme) certified. This provides independently audited carbon savings and total supply chain traceability.
  • Sustainable Sourcing: Our HVO is produced entirely from verified, sustainable waste-derived feedstocks, such as used cooking oil. It is fully ISCC Certified, ensuring total traceability and zero FAME content.

Infrastructure and Drop-In Interchangeability

Prema HVO100 is premium paraffinic product and adrop-in fuel for immediate integration into existing industrial heating systems.

 

  • Zero Capital Expenditure: The fuel acts as a direct drop-in replacement for diesel, kerosene, Prema 35, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), and Processed Fuel Oil (PFO). It requires zero modifications or operational downtime to implement. 
  • Miscibility: HVO heating oil is fully miscible with conventional diesel and gas oil. Existing tanks can be topped up immediately without the need to drain the system. If for some reason HVO is not available you can also go back to mineral oil just as easily. 
  • Storage Requirements: Due to the -30°C low-temperature specification, Prema HVO100 does not require heated storage infrastructure. It can be safely stored in standard outdoor tanks during severe winter conditions without risk of waxing or freezing.

  • System Protection: The 100% FAME-free specification prevents bacterial growth. This eliminates fuel-related pump damage, filter and line blockages, and the fouling of heat transfer surfaces.

 

Unmatched Emission Savings: Switch to 100% Renewable Heat

Prema HVO100 is not a blend; it is a 100% renewable fuel offering verified and immediate reduction in your environmental impact. Switching to pure HVO gives you the maximum possible strategic advantage in meeting sustainability targets ahead of environmental legislation.

 

  • Maximum GHG Reduction: As a 100% renewable fuel, HVO100 delivers the highest possible cut in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a liquid fuel, achieving up to 90% Net CO₂ reduction compared to conventional fossil heating oils.
  • Clean & Odourless: HVO100 is virtually odourless and burns significantly cleaner than standard kerosene or gas oil, noticeably dropping harmful local emissions, including Particulate Matter (PM), NOx, and Carbon Monoxide.
  • 100% Sustainable Sourcing: Our HVO is produced entirely from verified, sustainable waste-derived feedstocks, such as used cooking oil. It is fully ISCC Certified, ensuring total traceability and zero FAME content.

  • Reliable Performance

    Our HVO Heating oil prevents maintenance issues like filter and line blockages, fouling of heat transfer surfaces and sooty emissions. 

  • Control Costs

    The controlled cost of HVO Heating Oil means easier, clearer budgeting. With a price that remains reassuringly stable, with an extremely competitive price-per-kWh.

  • Drop-in replacement

    Prema HVO Heating Oil provides 100% consistent heat, all year round. It drops in to systems designed for diesel, kerosene, Prema heating oil, HFO, PFO and more.

100% HVO Performance: The Ultimate Drop-in Replacement

Body: HVO100’s chemical structure is almost identical to premium fossil heating fuels, but with superior properties. It is the definition of a “hassle-free” transition to green energy.

 

  • Zero Disruption: Prema HVO100 is a true drop-in replacement. It can be used pure or mixed with your existing fuel stocks in current industrial heating systems without costly modifications or downtime.
  • Superior Stability: Unlike standard biodiesels, 100% HVO is incredibly stable. It does not suffer from microbial contamination (‘diesel bug’) and has a shelf-life of up to 10 years, making it ideal for backup generators and intermittent heating systems.
  • Extreme Reliability: Prema HVO100 guarantees dependable heat year-round. With excellent low-temperature properties, it remains fluid down to -30°C, far exceeding standard red diesel or heating oils in winter performance.

    Commercial HVO Heating Oil FAQs

    Prema HVO100 is a 100% Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil. It is a synthesised, pure paraffinic, and fossil-free fuel used as a direct, renewable replacement for red diesel (gas oil) and kerosene in commercial boiler and dryer applications.

    HVO100 offers superior performance to fossil heating oil: it has a storage life of up to 10 years, performs better in extreme cold (down to -30°C), is biodegradable, virtually odourless, and reduces net CO2 emissions by up to 90%.

    Yes. The fuel is fully miscible with existing conventional diesel and gas oil stocks. You can introduce Prema HVO100 into your current system immediately without modifying burners or draining the tank.

    No. Standard biodiesel contains FAME, which can absorb water, suffer from poor cold-weather performance, and develop bacterial growth (‘diesel bug’) during long-term storage. Prema HVO100 is 100% FAME-free and highly stable product.

    Our team of technical experts are here to ensure a smooth switch to Prema Heating Oil.  We can:

    • Evaluate your existing systems to ensure they are compatible with your new fuel.
    • Inspect your storage tanks and advise whether they would benefit from a clean prior to switching.
    • Help you assess whether Prema Heating Oil will solve any existing problems like sooty emissions or maintenance issues.
    • Offer price risk management strategies to help with budgeting.
    • Advise on any minor adjustments which will help you get the most out of your new fuel e.g. burner settings.

    While the per-litre cost varies against standard fossil fuels, the combination of high combustion efficiency, zero infrastructure modification costs, and the elimination of maintenance downtime provides a competitive total cost of ownership.

    If switching from standard road diesel for heating applications, procurement costs are measurably reduced.
