(The date of this is Tuesday 1st February 2022) Right I have spoken to specialists at crown oil who have sent me through alot of info . In the conversation I had with him this is what was said: on Eco grounds All HVO is produced abroard. They are the importers of HVO from "Neste" a huge company in Finland where they sell HVO at petrol stations as a straight alternative to deisel for the last 17 odd years.thay have fully traceable product and garentee no palm oil or nastys added to their product and you can trace it from source. It is good even quality all the time. HVO has a Nett 91.3 % Co2 Reduction garenteed. It has a shelf life of 10 years It has a -32 degree tolerence unlike Bio fuel it is 100% FAME free so really nothing like bio fuel. No pereshing of valves rubbers etc. there are aparently 5 improters of HVO all of them bar one are selling Hvo for £1.67 to £1.68 plus VAT per litre with the exception of one importer who is selling it for £0.85p per litre (Watson oil is one of the distributers) distributers will only deliver to you 1000 ltrs min (you could buy a 1 meter cubed water container and have that filled ) It is a direct fuel replacement and ive been told it can be mixed with diesel if you need to. Most manufactures of modern cars will have had their cars run on this in countries that sell it so it will be possible to contact them for confirmation that this product will work in their engine. Im waiting for land rover to get back to me ( i have 300tdis and td5s on my farm). the government tax point is the same on HVO 11.5% tax for red (agri) and 57.95% for white HVO. it is not currently subsidised for road use but this may change if gov ralise this is a quick way for them to meet Eco credentials. if a company produces HVO in the uk it would be a game changer. If i get a response from you ill put up the bumph I received from the HVO specialist. hope this helps?

HVO is different from SVO 1st gen biofuel is different........The Question is about HVO the current price quoted today for HVO is 85p ppl 28th Jan 2022 (inc tax from a fuel supplier delivered to our farm) so no tax avoidence worries. Nb I looked on this site for the same reason as Davidpaul. Has anyone had actual experience with using HVO in a 300tdi thanks Here is some info on HVO 🙂 Traditional biofuels and diesel products that belong to the FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) group have a bad reputation for causing performance issues in cold weather and fluctuating temperatures, which can require costly maintenance and infrastructure changes. FAME fuels are produced by esterifying vegetable oils or animal fats with methanol. These esters are hygroscopic which means they attract water, which is bad news for biofuels as this provides the perfect breeding ground for diesel bug bacteria. But HVO removes these problems, providing superior performance from day one. That’s because HVO is not a biodiesel. It’s a 100% advanced renewable fuel that’s FAME and ester-free. HVO is a true drop-in alternative to diesel which means no upfront investments or equipment modifications are needed to ensure compatibility, compared to electric and hydrogen which require a huge outlay in both money and time. It, therefore, offers the user the ability to fully pay down the carbon emission embedded within existing equipment whilst dramatically reducing its ongoing contribution to GHG emissions whilst in use. From a renewability perspective, HVO is fully certified by the International Sustainability Carbon Certification (ISCC) and meets the international fuel standard EN15940. Therefore, due to the chemical structure of HVO as well as the technical backing of EN15940, it requires no capital expenditure on modifications whatsoever, allowing you to prolong the life of your current assets. This removes cost barriers and enables a seamless transition and a practical step towards decarbonisation. HVO is produced through the hydrotreatment of vegetable oils; hydrogen is used as a catalyst instead of methanol which removes oxygen from the fuel, therefore avoiding diesel bug attack. This production process converts the molecular structure into a paraffinic hydrocarbon which results in a fuel that has the same characteristics as fossil diesel but without the impurities that cause high levels of polluting emissions due to poor combustion performance. Year-round performance – no need for seasonal stock replacements HVO has a CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point) of -32oC which is much lower than diesel so you needn’t worry about the fuel waxing or freezing in winter. This means it doesn’t have seasonal grades like diesel, so you won’t need to empty your fuel stocks of summer grade fuel ahead of the cold months. Because HVO is FAME and ester-free, it doesn’t attract water and resists microbial contamination which means you can store it for up to 10 years, compared to just 1 year for FAME diesel products. HVO is virtually a maintenance-free fuel and significantly reduces the costs needed to preserve its quality. Safer fuel that reduces the risk of environmental damage HVO has a higher flashpoint than diesel which makes it much safer in terms of handling and storage. It’s also biodegradable and insoluble in water, which means there’s a reduced risk of environmental damage in the event of a spill or leak which will reduce the associated clean-up costs.
