Green diesel—also known as renewable diesel, hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), or second-generation biodiesel—is a biofuel produced from renewable feedstocks such as vegetable oils, animal fats, waste cooking oil, and algae. Unlike traditional biodiesel (FAME), green diesel has a chemical structure identical to petroleum diesel, allowing it to be used directly in existing engines and fuel infrastructure without blending limitations.
Increasing emphasis on carbon reduction, renewable energy adoption, and cleaner transportation fuels is driving the global green diesel market.
