The world of fuels is changing, and HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) biofuel is one of the most promising alternatives to traditional Diesel.<\/strong> Derived from vegetable oils and animal fats, HVO is produced through a hydrogenation process that makes it similar to fossil diesel, but with a significantly lower environmental footprint. For this reason, our direction board and technical department decided with us in Italy to use HVO in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4326\" src=\"https:\/\/rinnen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hvo-300x104.jpg\" alt=\"hvo\" width=\"300\" height=\"104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rinnen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hvo-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rinnen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hvo-768x265.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rinnen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hvo.jpg 942w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1610\" data-end=\"1649\"><\/h4>\n<p>Various tests are showing that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HVO <strong>consumption is probably slightly higher <\/strong>than traditional diesel, with an increase of between 1% and 5%. This increase is due to the lower density of biofuel compared to mineral diesel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exhaust emissions with HVO are reduced by 2% to 5%<\/strong>, which represents a significant improvement in terms of air pollution.<\/li>\n<li>Thanks to the biofuel production process, <strong>HVO can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90%<\/strong> compared to conventional diesel. This value depends also of the composition of the HVO-fuel, for example the percentage of the \u201cingredients\u201d during production. Reduction occurs because the CO\u2082 was already absorbed during the growth of the plants used to produce the biofuel.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s possible to <strong>mix HVO with conventional Diesel to reduce CO2-emissions. Already a percentage of 26% of HVO could reduce emissions of about 20% <\/strong>round about.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a result, HVO makes a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, helping us take tangible steps toward a more sustainable future. Reducing emissions is a crucial goal in the fight against climate change, and every improvement counts.<strong> By using HVO, we can lower the environmental impact of diesel engines while the transition to fully renewable or alternative energy sources continues.<\/strong> This solution represents an important intermediate step, combining practicality with sustainability. It also demonstrates how existing technologies can be adapted today to support a cleaner, greener tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>It is essential that both the fuel industry and vehicle manufacturers develop solutions in parallel to make this alternative fuel accessible to small and medium-sized transport companies.
