Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel made by the hydrocracking or hydrogenation of vegetable oil. Hydrocracking breaks big molecules into smaller ones using hydrogen while hydrogenation adds hydrogen to molecules. These methods can be used to create substitutes for gasoline, diesel, propane, kerosene and other chemical feedstock.
Systems and regions without an electrical grid will be the long-term market for hydrotreated vegetable oils, as the EU prefers electrical use by factor 2.5. In the Helsinki area, the Helsinki Metropolitan Area Council and the Helsinki City Transport conducted a three-year experiment by running buses with 25% Neste Renewable Diesel at first, and ...
The German government has a Biofuels Roadmap in which they expect to reach 10% biofuels by 2010 with the diesel 10% coming from fuel made from vegetable oil. [18] From 2005 to 2007 a number of types of vegetable oil have doubled in price. The rise in vegetable oil prices is largely attributed to biofuel demand. [19]

Green diesel may also be called renewable diesel, drop-in biodiesel, hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO fuel) [47] or hydrogen-derived renewable diesel. [43] Unlike biodiesel, green diesel has exactly the same chemical properties as petroleum-based diesel.
In some poor countries the rising price of vegetable oil is causing problems. [124] [125] Some propose that fuel only be made from non-edible vegetable oils such as camelina, jatropha or seashore mallow [126] which can thrive on marginal agricultural land where many trees and crops will not grow, or would produce only low yields.

Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosine (HEFA-SPK) is a specific type of hydrotreated vegetable oil fuel. [2] As of 2020 this was the only mature technology [19] [2] [49] (but by 2024 FT-SPK was commercialized as well [50]). HEFA-SPK was approved by Altair Engineering for use in 2011. [51]
