HVO, or Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, is a renewable liquid fuel that can offer a lower-carbon alternative to conventional heating oil. It is produced from renewable feedstocks, including waste oils and fats, which are refined to create a clean-burning fuel suitable for selected heating systems.
HVO can help reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared with traditional fossil-based heating oil. It also provides reliable heat output, making it a practical option for homes and businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact without compromising comfort.
Some existing oil heating systems may be suitable for conversion to HVO, although compatibility should always be checked by a qualified heating engineer. Greenwood’s can assess your current system, explain the available options and advise whether HVO is right for your property.

Hydrogen is being explored as a potential low-carbon fuel for heating homes and commercial properties. When hydrogen is used, it does not produce carbon dioxide at the point of combustion, although its overall environmental impact depends on how the fuel is produced.
Hydrogen could support the transition away from traditional fossil fuels, particularly where it is produced using renewable electricity. It may also have potential for use in specialist boilers, fuel cells and wider energy systems that generate both heat and power.
However, hydrogen heating technology is still developing. Existing boilers and heating systems may require replacement or adaptation, while future availability will depend on infrastructure, regulations and local supply.
Greenwood’s can help you understand hydrogen-ready boilers and emerging heating technologies, so you can make an informed choice for your property. Call 01772 816948 today to discuss future-focused heating options in Preston and across the North West.
