Everyone here at OilMaxx is welcoming the government’s recent announcement that they are set to remove the import measures of HVO from the USA. This is fantastic news as the Secretary of State for International Trade stated that they would start to remove measures regarding Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) imported from the USA into the UK, implemented formerly by the EU. The oil industry has been campaigning for this for a number of years as it is a greener alternative that is guaranteed to reduce their carbon footprints. After a thorough review by the Trade Remedies Authority, which provided provisional sanctions in December 2021 in order to remove import tariffs for HVO.
Heard of HVO?
HVO fuel is a paraffinic diesel fuel that is made to purchase across the UK. HVO fuel is created to EN15940 standard. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil fuel is already producing revolutionary results in decreasing the organisation’s gas emission rates by up to 90%. It is the lowest-emission diesel replacement fuel on hand. Using HVO fuels can eliminate fossil fuels in industries like construction.
UKIFDA
The United Kingdom and Ireland Fuel Distributors (UKIFDA) and Oil Firing Technical Association (OFTEC), CEOs Ken Cronin and Paul Rose, had this to say regarding the import measures of HVO:
“This is welcome news. Increasing the availability of HVO in the USA at a time when we need to start decarbonising our heating stock is a smart decision by the government. Our project has shown that we can decarbonise rural homes quickly, without disruption and inexpensively using liquid renewable fuels. We are calling on the government to go further by signalling a move to treat the use of HVO across transport, aviation and home heating equally. Currently, HVO cannot be delivered to home heating customers as cheaply as those in transport and aviation. In addition, HVO is subject to much higher duties than the fossil fuel it replaces. Removal of these further anomalies would mean a huge kick start to be affordable and efficient rural home decarbonisation.”
