How HVO100 is Made
01
Raw Material
HVO100 is produced solely from waste materials such as used cooking oils or animal fats. All raw materials are ISCC certified, an international sustainability standard recognized by the European Commission. We pay the utmost attention to the traceability of raw materials and ensure compliance with current sustainability regulations.
02
Pre-treatment
Raw materials are purified before use in the biorefinery. Pre-treatment is an essential step that involves removing all compounds unsuitable for the hydrotreatment process, such as metals, salt, impurities, unsaponifiables, etc.
03
The Biorefinery
The production process requires the extraction of glycerin, oxygen groups, and unsaturation sites from residual oils to produce a saturated hydrocarbon (alkane), using very high temperatures and pressures and catalysts. These plants are often called biorefineries because the process is somewhat similar to the hydrotreatment (with hydrogen) of petroleum fractions.
04
Distribution
2.5 million m³ of HVO100 are currently produced in Europe each year. This production will be multiplied by 3 by 2025. Altens is deploying logistics solutions with the establishment of 5 strategically located storage sites across the territory. This network across France allows Altens to optimize and guarantee rapid deliveries to all customers.
05
On the Road!
HVO100 (EN 15940) has been the only alternative fuel recognized and approved for years by almost all engine manufacturers for trucks/buses: DAF, Mercedes-Benz, Renault Trucks, Steyr, Scania, Volvo, MAN, Otokar, Heuiliez, Setra, Cummins, and for off-road machinery such as Agco, Caterpillar, Liebherr, JohnDeere, Hitachi, New Holland, Deutz.
