Explaining Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils (HVO) – (Ep.3) Malcolm Farrow

Malcolm Farrow, Head of Public Affairs at OFTEC, talks to us about hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a kerosene alternative that is sustainable and that cuts emissions by 88%. We also discuss the heating challenges that homes in UK face, why more flexibility over low carbon heating choices would be beneficial and how consumers can help make this fuel commercially available. We would also like to thank the MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) for sponsoring this video in the Renewing the Conversation series: https://mcscertified.com Enjoy the interview, and please join the conversation by leaving questions or comments below.
