While HVO offers numerous benefits, there are a few challenges to consider. First, HVO is not compatible with all engines or plant. Although it is widely approved by many OEMs, there are still some engines and equipment that have not been tested or approved for HVO use. It’s important to verify with the manufacturer whether your specific equipment is suitable for HVO before making the switch.

Additionally, HVO can be more expensive than traditional diesel due to the more complex production process, which involves advanced technology and sustainable raw materials. This cost increase may be a consideration for some businesses, but it is important to weigh it against the environmental benefits and potential long-term savings from cleaner engine operation and reduced maintenance.
