Offering up to a 90% reduction in net CO<sub>2 <\/sub>emissions, HVO is one of the most effective ways to lower carbon output without changing engines or infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as the rise in demand drives an increase in global supply, not all HVO is created equal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-crownoil-content-spacer content-spacer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-crownoil-columns columns\" style=\"--columns-alignment:center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-crownoil-column columns__item\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-hvo-green-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3162cfdd91ac49c1a2893283f7b6e66a\" id=\"h-understanding-lifecycle-emissions-beyond-the-tailpipe\">Understanding lifecycle emissions: beyond the tailpipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people mistakenly believe that all carbon savings are measured solely from tailpipe emissions. In reality, HVO\u2019s emissions are measured using a \u201cwell-to-wheel\u201d lifecycle approach, which includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list tick-list\">\n<li>Feedstock origin (e.g. waste vs virgin crops)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Land use and biodiversity impacts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Processing emissions from refining and hydrotreatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transport emissions during global distribution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This means the same \u201cHVO\u201d label can hide huge differences in sustainability. Without knowing the full backstory, you risk claiming more carbon savings than you\u2019re actually achieving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-crownoil-column columns__item\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crownoil.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Footprint.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crownoil.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Footprint.png 500w, https:\/\/www.crownoil.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Footprint-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.crownoil.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Footprint-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-crownoil-content-spacer content-spacer\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-hvo-green-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2aa2268642b6bfc08a482b640d56834d\" id=\"h-the-risks-of-skipping-due-diligence\">The risks of skipping due diligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any commodity in a global market, the sustainability and ethical integrity of HVO fuel depend on its origin, how it\u2019s made, and who supplies it.

Conformity (CoC) for each batch?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does the fuel achieve GHG savings of at least 80% compared to standard EN590 diesel?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These checks will ensure your
