It’s an ideal renewable fuel for your boiler
For over 50 years heating oil has been a popular choice of fuel for heating homes off the gas grid. Heating oil causes carbon (CO2) emissions, causing harm to the environment and goes against UK government’s efforts to achieve its net zero target by 2050. The decarbonisation of home heating oil sector is seen as having a major impact on the need to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The fuel industry has been under pressure to produce a low carbon alternative to heating oil. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is this alternative. It works just the same as heating oil but it’s much better for the environment.
So, what makes HVO so special? Made from 100% renewable raw materials, t’s sustainable and biodegradable and can be produced from waste oils. HVO eliminates up to 88% of net CO2 emissions. It is virtually identical to heating oil, allowing it to be used as a drop-in fuel. With HVO, you don’t need to buy an expensive new heating system. Dramatic reductions in emissions can be achieved, in your household, by simply changing to HVO.
HVO fuel is a clean-burning alternative to home heating oil and is in fact it’s one of the cleanest fuels on the market. It is the perfect replacement for heating oil as it’s a drop-in replacement to heating oil.
HVO as a renewable liquid fuel works well in all existing oil heating systems following a simple, cost-effective, and easy boiler conversion process.
Benefits of using HVO
 |
Cleaner & Greener – reduces carbon emissions by 88% compared to existing heating oil |
|
Simple conversion – that can be conveniently done when your boiler is serviced or upgraded |
|
Low cost to convert – usual cost of conversion is around £500 (exact cost depends on the system) |
|
Fossil free – Can be made from fossil free, certified sustainable waste materials and doesn’t contribute to deforestation |
|
You won’t notice the difference – runs just as efficiently as heating oil in existing system and it’s odourless too |
|
Virtually drop in fuel – Fuel can be directly substituted from Kerosene in HVO ready Harlequin Tanks. |
