FAQs

HVO stands for hydrotreated vegetable oil, which is produced by hydrotreating renewable fats and oils. It is also known as renewable diesel (RD). This renewable biofuel is used as a replacement for diesel in road fuels. Its use is growing as industries comply with regulatory targets for reducing road transport emissions. A smaller part of the demand is voluntary as companies set their own targets for emissions reduction. Supply and demand fundamentals, and hence the value of HVO, are mainly driven by ever-changing environmental mandates.

HVO is instrumental in reaching higher biofuels blending targets set out by mandates around the world. It is a drop-in renewable fuel that can be blended with conventional fossil fuels up to 25-30pc. This means HVO is not subject to the 7pc blend wall that applies to conventional biodiesel, and that it can also be used as a standalone 100pc replacement for diesel. With such high blending ratios into fossil diesel, HVO provides an attractive way to efficiently decarbonise the diesel market.

  • Argus is the leading trusted provider of independent price assessments, market analysis, forward curves, fundamentals including capacity, supply and demand, forecasts and bespoke consulting services for the global HVO / RD markets.
  • Argus HVO price assessments are underpinned by actual physical trades, bids and offers of HVO. To aid transparency, our price discovery process can be followed in real time on the Argus Open Markets® (AOM®) platform, which enables registered participants to post bids and offers in real time to initiate commodity deals on the spot market.
  • To further ensure that Argus pricing is truly reflecting what is going on in the HVO market, in contrast to a fixed premium to diesel, the wider biofuels complex is also covered. By publishing daily prices for HVO feedstocks (such as used cooking oil and tallow), as well as other products from the hydrotreated complex such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels and bionaphtha, it means additional checks and controls on the fair value of HVO are in place.
  • Argus provides market participants and users of the HVO prices with the assurance of robust, transparent and market reflective pricing that is truly based on HVO market dynamics.
