As a relatively new fuel source, the rate of adoption of HVO today is limited by its supply chain and higher cost, with higher adoption in markets where the use of diesel is curtailed. Supply chains are developing to serve these regulated markets, predominantly in parts of North America and...
HVO, also known as renewable diesel, is chemically identical to conventional road diesel and can be used as a “drop-in” fuel to replace fossil diesel, with no blending limits. Along with sustainable aviation fuel, it is considered a “second generation biofuel”. ...
With HVO, companies can support their decarbonization goals without having to invest in new equipment. But is it really that simple? Mats Hultman, Head of OEM Partnerships at fuel manufacturer Neste, and Michael Stipa, Vice President Strategy, Business a
The second and main catch for most potential users is cost. HVO 100 fuel is today more expensive than standard diesel, but hopefully over time and with increased use, that situation may improve. So, what’s the verdict on HVO 100 fossil-free fuel for boats?
Volvo Penta case study on HVO fuel in all demo and test boats Here at Volvo Penta, we’re innovating future technologies while in parallel working to exceed today’s best practices – renewable fuels are one focus area. Let’s look at what we’ve learned from using ...
mass of particulates and 7% by number of particulates) were found to be best reduced by adding nanoparticles of cerium dioxide to the B7 fuel (with 30% HVO), while the best results in reducing nitrogen oxide emissions were obtained by adding ferrocene nanoparticles to the B7 fuel with 30% ...
head of the Krossholmen test center. “We have not seen any reduction in performance or range. The only challenge HVO 100 poses is availability – it’s not easily accessible in all regions – and the cost can be higher than diesel fuel. The benefits, however, mean you ...
