milesBIO HVO100: Reducing Carbon Emissions with Sustainable Innovation

What is milesBIO HVO100

milesBIO HVO100 stands at the forefront of eco-friendly solutions, presenting an impressive up to 90% reduction in carbon greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to traditional fossil diesel. Unveiling its potential in the Irish market, Circle K milesBIO HVO100 has already made strides in Scandinavia, particularly in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

What sets milesBIO HVO100 apart is its composition, derived entirely from renewable feedstock sourced from vegetable oils, used cooking oil, and various waste and by-products from the food industry. Unlike conventional fuels, milesBIO HVO100 is a new generation of renewable diesel that prioritizes sustainability.

One key feature that distinguishes milesBIO HVO100 is the incorporation of Circle K’s innovative cleaning miles diesel additive. This additive plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness of the fuel system, especially the diesel injectors and nozzles. The cleaning action proves highly effective, ensuring optimal performance of the diesel injectors. As a result, fuel is injected into the engine more finely dispersed, promoting a more complete combustion process.

Production of milesBIO HVO100 follows a sustainable model, utilizing byproducts and residues from biomass cultivation and production processes. The result is a carbon-neutral biomass, making milesBIO HVO100 a fossil-free biofuel crafted from waste and by-products of the food industry, distinctly not intended for human consumption.

In essence, Circle K milesBIO HVO100 represents a significant step towards more sustainable fuels, embodying the principles of circular economy and carbon neutrality.

FAQ

What is Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)?

HVO is a renewable diesel fuel derived from plant-based oils, fats, or greases. It undergoes a hydrotreating process to remove impurities and improve its properties.
How is HVO different from biodiesel?

While biodiesel is typically produced through transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats, HVO is produced through hydrotreating. HVO has a more consistent and high-quality composition compared to biodiesel.
What feedstocks are used to produce HVO?

HVO can be produced from various feedstocks, including vegetable oils and used cooking oils.
Is HVO compatible with existing diesel engines?

Yes, HVO is considered a drop-in fuel, meaning it can be used in existing diesel engines without any modifications. It can be blended with conventional diesel or used as a pure fuel.
What are the environmental benefits of using HVO?

HVO is considered a more sustainable option compared to conventional diesel. It has lower greenhouse gas emissions and can contribute to reducing carbon footprints, as it is produced from renewable feedstocks.
Does HVO require separate storage and infrastructure?

No, HVO can be stored in and transported through the same infrastructure used for traditional diesel. It does not require special storage tanks or modifications to existing distribution systems.
What are the performance characteristics of HVO?

HVO has similar or improved performance characteristics compared to conventional diesel. It has a high cetane number, which can result in better combustion efficiency and reduced emissions.
Is HVO more expensive than traditional diesel?

The cost of HVO can vary based on factors such as feedstock prices and production methods. In some cases, HVO may be more expensive than conventional diesel, but it can be cost-competitive in regions where renewable fuel incentives or mandates exist.
Is HVO used in other applications besides transportation?

Yes, HVO can be used in various applications beyond transportation, including heating, power generation, and industrial processes.
Is HVO considered a sustainable fuel?

HVO is generally considered a sustainable fuel option because it is derived from renewable feedstocks. However, the sustainability of HVO depends on factors such as the feedstock source and production methods.
