How efficient is HVO100 compared to fossil diesel?
The current “HVO100 overview study” by the Saarland University of Applied Sciences provides a well-founded technical classification with clear results.
HVO100 is more than just a replacement fuel. As a premium diesel, it impresses with its properties:
1. Cetane number of over 70 for clean and efficient combustion
2. Aromatics-free with positive effects on emissions and component cleanliness
3. Significantly reduced soot particle and pollutant emissions
4. Smoother engine running and less noise
5. High bearing stability and reduced tendency to deposit
The conclusion of the study puts it in a nutshell: “HVO is positioning itself as a safer, less irritating and more environmentally friendly alternative to diesel fuel.”
