Straight Vegetable Oils (SVO)

Diesel engines can be modified to run on Straight Vegetable Oils (SVO), otherwise known as Pure Vegetable Oils (PVO). Waste Vegetable Oils (WVOs) - waste cooking oil from the food industry - are often viewed as being sustainable.

Decentralised small-scale production occurs in many European countries, including Germany, France, Netherlands and UK, for use in agriculture, private vehicles or municipal vehicles.
