Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil from 100% renewable raw materials
Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ is a HVO100 (or HVO diesel) fuel. HVO stands for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil – a reference to the renewable materials used to make it, which can include waste and residues.
You can use HVO diesel (HVO100, or HVO in its purest form) in any diesel engine, without any modifications. So you can refuel with it today.
Use Neste MY Renewable Diesel neat (HVO100) or blended at any ratio, for example 20% HVO and 80% fossil diesel becomes HVO20. Neste MY also complies with the high-quality EN15940 specifications for paraffinic diesel fuel.
HVO terms at a glance
Some simple definitions to help explain the language around HVO fuel.
Renewable diesel
Renewable diesel (or R99) is another name for HVO diesel – a fuel made from 100% renewable raw materials such as waste and residues.
HVO
HVO is an acronym for "Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil", a renewable diesel made from 100% renewable raw materials such as waste and residues.
HVO100
HVO100 is HVO diesel at its purest – the best choice to reduce GHG emissions. A 20:80 blend of HVO to fossil diesel is HVO20.
Neste MY Renewable Diesel
Neste MY is a HVO100 fuel from Neste, the leading producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from renewable raw materials.
R99 diesel
R99 diesel is similar to HVO100, but includes a tiny proportion of fossil diesel so that producers can enjoy tax credits in the US.
Why choose Neste MY Renewable Diesel
HVO is a convenient solution
You can put hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) into any diesel engine without any additional infrastructure or modification investment.
A more sustainable choice to fossil diesel, HVO is a seamless switch for businesses wanting to reduce GHG emissions: from road, marine, and rail transportation to power generation and heating.
Companies and governments around the world who want to reduce their carbon footprint are waking up to the convenience of HVO diesel – with Neste MY Renewable Diesel already playing a vital role in fleet owners’ transition to a more sustainable energy future.
Neste MY was developed with patented technology
Our 1997-patented technology, NEXBTL, was a key step to producing a fuel that helps customers reduce their GHG emissions.
The NEXBTL technology uses hydrogen to remove oxygen from fatty acids in the renewable raw materials that form the base of our fuel. Whatever the mix of renewable raw materials, NEXBTL ensures the fuel quality is always high.
This breakthrough led to Neste MY Renewable Diesel. Its similar chemical composition to fossil diesel enables fleet owners to switch to renewable fuel instantly. You do not need to make any additional investments in infrastructure or modifications.
HVO is your key to cutting GHG emissions
Neste MY Renewable Diesel (R99) can reduce your diesel engines’ GHG emissions by up to 75%* over the fuel’s lifecycle compared to fossil diesel.
It can also reduce “tailpipe” emissions that harm the engine. Plus, filters and injectors stay clean longer, potentially saving you maintenance costs.
