What are the tailpipe emissions from HVO?

Reducing tailpipe emissions is an important responsibility for operators of diesel vehicles and plant, particularly for their colleagues’ health.

This pioneering approach to replace our generator’s diesel provision with HVO fuel is a key step in the company’s efforts to become net zero, and a further demonstration of our leadership in the international data centre sustainability field.

What is HVO Fuel?

Hydrotreated vegetable oil, otherwise known as HVO, is the next-generation low-carbon diesel. It is derived from used cooking oils, residue animal fats from food processing, tall oil, and non-food grade crops. Biofuel, more generally, is a renewable source of energy that comes from plants, animals, or algae.

With the world shifting towards more sustainable practices to reduce climate change and protect the environment, HVO fuels have become a viable choice to help reduce diesel vehicle and plant emissions. It is considered a paraffinic fuel, a new classification of cleaner transport fuels, and has almost zero sulphur and aromatics content.
