In short: HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a paraffinic biofuel compliant with the EN 15940 standard, with a high cetane number and excellent stability. Together with FAME (biodiesel) it is among the key vectors for decarbonising transport. For a company distributing or using it, the operational crux is the supply chain: sourcing, storage under the correct fiscal regime, optional blending and logistics. This is where a fiscal warehouse comes in.
HVO and FAME: why they matter for B2B
- HVO: a “drop-in” paraffinic fuel, usable pure or blended, with good cold performance and clean combustion. Reference standard EN 15940.
- FAME: fatty acid methyl ester, traditional biodiesel (EN 14214), usually blended with diesel.
- Both fall under European transport-emission reduction policies; the sustainability evidence (RED III, mass balance, ISCC certification) is the responsibility of the certified supply chain that produces and places them on the market.
The role of a fiscal warehouse in the biofuel supply chain
An ADM-authorised fiscal warehouse allows energy products to be held and moved under duty suspension and the related obligations to be managed correctly. P.S.P. provides:
- Storage of HVO and FAME in a fiscal warehouse in Parona (PV).
- Third-party (OEM) blending and packaging to specification.
- Management of electronic movement (e-AD/e-DAS) and excise obligations, including reduced rates where applicable.
- Logistics and distribution on the intermodal network.
Note on sustainability: P.S.P. acts as keeper and blender. Sustainability attestations (ISCC, RED III, bio content) are provided by the certified production chain: P.S.P. does not issue ISCC certifications itself.
We operate strictly B2B.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HVO and FAME biodiesel?
HVO is a hydrotreated paraffinic fuel (EN 15940), drop-in and with excellent cold performance; FAME is a methyl ester (EN 14214), normally used blended with diesel.
Is P.S.P. ISCC certified?
No. P.S.P. provides fiscal warehousing, blending and logistics; supply-chain sustainability attestations (ISCC/RED III) are issued by certified producers/suppliers.
Can you manage reduced excise duty on biofuels?
We manage the excise obligations related to storage and movement, including the reduced rates provided by current law, based on supply-chain documentation.
In what form do you supply HVO and FAME?
As a B2B storage, blending and distribution service. We define volumes and terms based on customer needs.
