For businesses that aren’t connected to the gas grid, finding a dependable, low-carbon heating solution can be challenging. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) has become one of the most effective answers. It offers the same reliability as traditional heating oil but with dramatically lower emissions. Making it ideal for workshops, warehouses, agricultural buildings, and industrial facilities that rely on oil-fired heating. Better still, many modern warm-air heaters can run on HVO without major system changes.
Why HVO Is a Strong Choice for Industrial Sites
HVO is a renewable, paraffinic fuel produced from waste oils and fats through a hydrogenation process. Because it burns cleanly and behaves similarly to fossil diesel, it offers clear advantages:
-
Significantly lower lifecycle CO₂ emissions
-
Cleaner combustion with reduced particulate output
-
Excellent long-term storage stability
-
Drop-in compatibility with many existing oil-fired heaters
This makes HVO one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways for off-gas businesses to decarbonise their heating without needing to install new infrastructure.
Hadar Zephr
The Hadar Zephr cabinet heater range is designed for high-volume, high-demand heating applications such as factories, large warehouses, logistics centres, and production plants. Running on HVO, the Zephr range provides strong, uniform heating while enabling sites to cut emissions immediately.
Benefits of using HVO in Zephr heaters:
1. High-performance heating with lower carbon impact
Zephr cabinet heaters maintain their efficiency and heat output while using renewable HVO fuel.
2. Reliable, stable combustion
HVO’s clean-burning nature supports smooth, consistent operation throughout long heating periods.
3. Powerful airflow for large spaces
Zephr units move significant volumes of warm air, perfect for tall or open industrial buildings, and switching to HVO doesn’t compromise this performance.
4. Ideal for centralised heating strategies
Facilities that rely on a single central heating powerhouse can achieve site-wide emission reductions simply by transitioning their Zephr heaters to HVO.
Hadar Fornax
The Hadar Fornax range is engineered for demanding industrial environments where resilience, reliability, and fast warm-air delivery matter. Fornax heaters integrate smoothly with HVO fuel, giving facilities a practical route to lower-emission heating while keeping the same dependable performance.
Why Fornax pairs so well with HVO:
1. Straightforward fuel transition
The Fornax burner system is designed to work with modern liquid fuels, allowing HVO to be used with minimal modification when installed according to manufacturer guidance.
2. Strong, consistent heat output
Whether running on oil or HVO, Fornax units deliver rapid, even heating—ideal for workshops, service bays, storage areas, and fabrication facilities.
3. Cleaner operation
Because HVO burns cleaner, the internal components of Fornax heaters often experience less soot and residue buildup, supporting efficient long-term operation.
4. Flexible, space-saving installation
Their compact, suspended design and directional airflow make Fornax heaters a great fit for spaces with mixed layouts or areas requiring targeted heating.
A Smarter Path to Sustainable Heating
For businesses that operate off the gas grid, HVO presents one of the most practical and impactful ways to cut heating emissions. When paired with Hadar’s Fornax and Zephr heater ranges, it delivers a powerful combination of sustainability, reliability, and industrial-grade performance. Whether upgrading an existing installation or specifying new equipment, HVO-compatible Hadar heaters provide a future-ready solution for cleaner, dependable heat.
