VAROPreem launches HVO100 in Norway
In Norway, VAROPreem is launching Preem Redefine HVO100, a Nordic Swan‑Ecolabelled fuel, in Norway. The fuel meets the Nordic Swan Ecolabel’s stringent requirements for responsibly sourced, traceable, and controlled feedstocks, and mandatory annual documentation of greenhouse‑gas emissions. It is produced from raw materials such as residues from paper pulp production and food industries. It is not produced from palm oil, palm‑based residues, or soybean oil.
As a result, the fuel delivers a minimum 90% reduction in fossil CO₂ emissions* compared with fossil diesel. This is important because while nearly all newly registered passenger cars in Norway are electric vehicles, there are still more than one million owned diesel passenger cars and around 700,000 diesel‑powered commercial vehicles in operation in the country.
The product is manufactured at VAROPreem’s manufacturing hub in Gothenburg and will initially be made available through bulk sales directly to commercial customers in the Norwegian market.
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is the official ecolabel of the Nordic region and is awarded only to products and services that meet strict and rigorous environmental standards.
