As the demand for cleaner and more sustainable energy sources continues to grow, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) has emerged as a leading renewable fuel solution. HVO is a high-quality biofuel produced from renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste oils. It offers a sustainable alternative to fossil diesel, delivering significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions without compromising performance.
At CCIC SINGAPORE, we are proud to support the transition to renewable energy through comprehensive testing and certification services for HVO fuels according to industry standard EN 15940 (paraffinic diesel fuels). In addition, we also offered measuring of C14 isotopic carbons by ASTM D6866. This approach enables accurate determine the biogenic composition of blended fuels for purpose of claim tax refund.
What is HVO?
HVO is a second-generation biofuel produced using a catalytic hydrogenation process, transforming fats and oils into hydrocarbons. This process removes oxygen and other impurities, resulting in a clean-burning, paraffinic fuel with superior performance characteristics.
HVO is classified as a “drop-in fuel,” meaning it can directly replace conventional diesel in existing engines without modifications.
Driving Sustainability with HVO
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil is paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future. By reducing emissions and providing a seamless alternative to fossil diesel, HVO is helping businesses meet environmental targets while maintaining operational excellence.
