HVO Heating Oil and Diesel Fuels

HVO Heating Oil
We believe renewable heating oil is the future; that's why we're supplying fossil-free heating oil to our customers to help them reduce their carbon footprint.

HVO Renewable Diesel
This renewable alternative to red diesel and gas oil is made completely from sustainable raw materials.
At Rix, we're proud to be HVO fuel suppliers, supplying both HVO heating oil and HVO diesel to help reduce carbon emissions by 90% through products made of 100% renewable resources.
What does HVO mean?
Hydrogenated vegetable oil fuel is a renewable alternative to regular heating oil and red diesel. HVO is produced via hydrogeneration, a process that uses hydrogen rather than methanol as the catalyst. The hydrogenation process involves removing all oxygen from vegetable oils, helping to avoid oxidation and creating a 100% biodegradable product.
Why opt for HVO heating oil and renewable diesel?
-
Reduction in CO2 emissions
Switching to HVO fuels means reducing greenhouse emissions by up to 90%, helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
-
Environmental and sustainable
As HVO fuels are made from synthetical vegetable oils and wastes fats, they're 100% renewable, meaning they can biodegrade.
-
Improved air quality
Not only are the fuels renewable, but they also help to reduce notifiable particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to help reduce the harmful qualities in the air.
-
Seamless switching from regular to HVO fuels
Switching to renewable fuels may not be as difficult as you think. OEM approvals mean that engine and machinery adjustments are often not needed to use HVO diesel on your equipment.
-
High performing in Winter
Clean combustion and start-up performance of equipment can improve in the cold weather due to the high number of cetane and low cloud points. In addition, there's much less chance of waxing when temperatures are extreme.
-
Safety improvements
In comparison to regular diesel, HVO renewable diesel has enhanced storage and handling and improved safety.
-
Reduced maintenance
The hydrogenation process used to make the fuels helps extract products that contribute to reducing the fuel's condition, which means your HVO fuel can go further for longer!
What are the benefits of switching to HVO Fuels?
-
Invite customers in with a sustainable brand image
Showing that you use only renewable fuels within your business is very attractive to potential customers. In an age when sustainability is key, you don't want to be seen as not doing your bit to help the environment – especially if your competitors are already doing this!
-
Make your business more attractive to potential partners and investors
Not only do you want to entice potential customers, but also investors and partners. These days, many businesses have pledged to help reduce their carbon footprint, and switching to renewable energy is the best way to help investors see that you're dedicated to this.
-
Corporate Social Responsibility
Using HVO fuels is the perfect way to show you're socially accountable and consciously aware of the growing economic problem our planet faces.
-
Helping the environment
You are putting yourself in an attractive position to customers and investors. You're also genuinely helping the environment and reducing CO2 emissions – something we all have an individual responsibility to undertake.
