The 2026 Middle East conflict has sent diesel prices surging, exposed Australia's critically low reserves, and put supply chains under pressure. This FAQ covers what it means for Australians using fossil diesel and how the crisis is affecting HVO renewable diesel supply, availability and pricing.

With Australian diesel reserves at just 34 days and wholesale diesel prices up by over 50%, we unpack the data behind the current fuel crisis, what it means for diesel reliant Australian businesses and why HVO may be a more stable alternative.

Switching from fossil diesel to HVO renewable diesel achieves real emissions reductions across Scope 1 and 3 without changing vehicles, engines, or infrastructure. This practical guide breaks down exactly what changes and what stays the same for NGER auditors, sustainability leads, and operators. Understand the lifecycle impacts, measurement frameworks, and compliance benefits to confidently decarbonise today.

Not all diesel is created equal. As Australia moves toward lower-emission transport, fleet managers, sustainability teams, and procurement officers are increasingly encountering terms like "renewable diesel," "HVO," "biodiesel," and "SAF." These fuels can look identical in a tank but differ enormously in their chemistry, emissions profile, engine compatibility, and regulatory standing. Here is what you need to know.

Copenhagen, Heathrow, Dublin and Hong Kong Airports all cut diesel fleet emissions by up to 90% with HVO renewable diesel. In an industry where every single minute counts and costs - ground fleets are a significant addressable source of airport emissions and the solution is already here. No new vehicles. No downtime.

Australia’s first parliamentary inquiry into data centres has launched. While there is always a focus on how data centre growth drives electricity and water demand, the critical link between water cooling towers and diesel backup power often flies under the radar. The inquiry explicitly calls out the use of diesel for backup generation, including the associated emissions and health impacts.

Australian mining faces stricter carbon and diesel rules in 2026:
→ New workplace exposure limits - massive tightenings from current practice.
→ Introduction of NSW EPA climate licence conditions requiring diesel replacement with low-carbon fuels.
→ Large emitters management of Safeguard Mechanism baselines.
Instead of expensive upgrades and retrofit solutions, what's the smart play?

Discover how renewable diesel compares to fossil diesel and what the switch means for Scope 1 emissions, air quality and net‑zero targets. Learn why HVO renewable diesel delivers immediate emission reductions without new vehicles, infrastructure or business disruption.

Australia’s government has announced a $1.1 billion investment in low carbon liquid fuels. The Cleaner Fuels Program will drive new job creation and help decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors. With HVO and SAF production a focus, what demand-side policies will be needed to create lasting change?

Leading OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) have already officially approved HVO100 for use in their engines. That means fleet operators can switch to renewable diesel with full warranty protection and complete peace of mind. Check the list…

Both HVO and biodiesel have emerged as popular alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. While they share the common goal of reducing carbon emissions, there are significant differences between the two.

The APAC data center boom is a story of innovation and opportunity, but it must also be one of responsibility. HVO presents a rare win-win: a clean, scalable alternative that allows data center operators to significantly reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing uptime or reliability.

Renewable fuels took centre stage at Australian Renewable Fuels Week in Sydney, driving discussions on energy security and emissions reduction. Is renewable fuel transforming sectors and why Aussie policy is crucial for a sustainable future?

Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil is transforming Australia's sustainable fuel landscape by converting waste oils into a low-carbon alternative. Compatible with existing diesel engines, HVO significantly reduces emissions while maintaining performance.
