How biofuels can help industries meet climate goals
The fight against climate change requires a radical shift in how we produce and consume energy. In this context, advanced biofuels such as biodiesel, HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), and SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) emerge as a key solution to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in hard-to-decarbonize industrial sectors such as energy, oleochemicals, animal feed, and food.
Energy industries can benefit from advanced biofuels by incorporating them into their electricity and heat production processes. By partially replacing fossil fuels with biodiesel or HVO, companies can significantly reduce their CO2 emissions, contributing to their climate goals. Furthermore, biofuels offer the advantage of being usable in existing infrastructure, making their adoption easier without the need for large investments in new equipment.
In the oleochemical sector, biofuels derived from vegetable oils and organic waste can replace conventional petrochemical products. This not only reduces GHG emissions but also enhances the sustainability of the raw materials used in the production of products such as detergents, cosmetics, and biodegradable plastics.
The animal feed and food industries, for their part, can also integrate biofuels into their processes, both for energy generation and in the production of sustainable ingredients. By utilizing raw materials such as used vegetable oils and other organic waste, companies can contribute to the circular economy while meeting their emission reduction targets.
At BV Oils, we offer technical and commercial advisory services to help businesses integrate sustainable biofuels into their operations. From selecting the right raw materials to optimizing processes, our team works closely with each client to ensure they meet their climate goals efficiently and cost-effectively.
