FAQs for HVO Fuel
HVO fuel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a premium-quality renewable diesel made from 100% renewable waste fats and vegetable oils. It undergoes a hydrotreatment process that removes oxygen, creating a clean-burning, paraffinic fuel that can directly replace conventional diesel.
Yes, HVO fuel is a drop-in alternative to standard diesel. It meets EN15940 fuel specifications and can be used in existing diesel engines and generators without modification. This makes it ideal for vehicles, construction equipment, generators, and heating systems.
Unlike FAME-based biodiesel, HVO is free from oxygen and has a longer shelf life, better cold-weather performance, and no risk of microbial growth. It also burns cleaner, reducing carbon emissions by up to 90%, and doesn’t cause issues in older engines.
Using HVO fuel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil diesel. It also cuts particulate matter, NOx, and hydrocarbon emissions—making it a powerful solution for meeting sustainability goals and net-zero targets.
Yes. HVO is suitable for modified domestic oil boilers and is increasingly used as a renewable alternative to kerosene. However, some systems may need minor adjustments—especially in home heating applications—so always consult your installer or supplier.
Yes, HVO fuel is approved under the UK’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) and meets the EN15940 standard for paraffinic fuels. It’s widely used across the UK in commercial, agricultural, and increasingly domestic applications.

Currently, HVO fuel can be 10–20% more expensive than fossil diesel due to production costs. However, its environmental benefits, cleaner engine performance, and longer shelf life often justify the premium—especially for businesses with sustainability goals.
Yes. HVO has a shelf life of up to 10 years without degradation or microbial growth, unlike biodiesel or standard diesel. It’s ideal for standby generators, backup heating systems, or seasonal agricultural use.
HVO is a cleaner, renewable, and sustainable fuel that reduces your carbon footprint without requiring major equipment changes. It helps meet green compliance targets, improves air quality, and reduces engine maintenance costs.
HVO is made through a process called hydro-treatment, where waste oils and fats are refined using hydrogen to remove oxygen and impurities. This results in a high-performance, clean-burning paraffinic fuel with very low sulphur and aromatic content.
Reputable HVO suppliers like Compass Energy only source HVO certified by schemes such as ISCC, ensuring it is made from sustainable, waste-derived feedstocks—not virgin palm oil or crops linked to deforestation.
HVO fuel offers excellent cold-weather performance, with a cold filter plugging point (CFPP) of -30°C or better—making it suitable for use in harsh UK winter conditions without additives.
Yes. HVO is non-toxic, biodegradable, and classified as non-hazardous. It’s less prone to microbial contamination than diesel and does not require biocide treatments. Store in a clean, sealed fuel tank away from direct sunlight.
Businesses using HVO may qualify for ESG credits, CSR certifications, or emissions reporting benefits under UK net-zero frameworks. Always check current government incentives or consult your sustainability advisor.
