Benefits of HVO
The benefits of HVO renewable diesel are numerous. It is made from waste materials and vegetable oils, making it a renewable and sustainable fuel source. It is also a low-emission fuel, meaning that it releases fewer harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. In fact, HVO renewable diesel can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional diesel.
