Fuel Quality
HVO
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), also known as renewable diesel, is an advanced biofuel made by hydrotreating waste and sustainable raw materials. HVO delivers immediate carbon emission savings and can be used as a drop-in alternative to diesel in transport, electricity generation and industrial applications.
The benefits of HVO:
- Reduces your carbon emissions by up to 90%
- Can be used without engine modifications
- Drop-in replacement for regular diesel & gas oil
- Excellent cold-weather performance
- Improved safety, storage and handling compared to regular diesel
- Reduced need for regular testing
HVO is available for delivery to commercial sites in Ireland and at selected forecourts. This waste-derived renewable diesel is approved by a wide range of original engine manufacturers (OEM) to use in modern diesel engines and off-road machinery.
B20
B20 is a higher percentage biofuel blend which consists of up to 20% biodiesel and 80% mineral diesel. B20 provides a balance between costs, cold weather performance, materials compatibility and carbon emission reduction. B20 is utilized worldwide, as a cost-effective way to reduce your emissions.
The benefits of B20:
- Reduces your carbon emissions by up to 13%
- Delivering the same performance as regular diesel
- Available to order now for use in your vehicles tomorrow
- Competitively priced against regular diesel
B20 is the most affordable pathway to lower carbon transport.

Fuel Quality
Our fuels are directly supplied from our jointly owned 82,000m3 state-of-the-art terminal in Foynes.
Inver has developed the Quality Assured fuels programme to give our customers the assurance that fuels supplied by Inver meet National and European fuel standards and have complete traceability from the point of manufacture to our customers.
Fuels carrying the Quality Fuel icon are:
- Tested by a certified laboratory at the refinery of origin prior to loading the oil tanker
- Checked by independent surveyors for quality assurance at the loading refinery and at Inver’s import terminals
- Provided with Certificates of Quality for each individual cargo showing that the fuels meet EU and Irish specification
Quality Assured Fuels
The specifications for road fuels are:
EN 590: Latest issue for diesel
EN 228: Latest issue for petrol
- Tested for quality assurance prior to receipt from the oil tanker at Inver’s import terminals and samples from each individual cargo are retained
- Tested by independent surveyors and laboratories as part of state-sponsored quality assurance scheme
- Delivered via dedicated Inver-controlled road tankers
- The Quality Assured icon is only awarded to customers exclusively supplied by Inver
Inver’s Quality Assured fuels programme is our assurance that all our quality fuels are fully traceable from refinery to our customer – that’s the Inver Advantage!
International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC)
ISCC is a global sustainability certification system, recognised under the European Union’s Renewable Energy (RED II) directive. ISCC certification enables verification of compliance with the legal requirements for sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions criteria.
ISCC certified Proofs of Sustainability (PoS), issued by Inver, can be used to validate GHG emissions reductions for customers looking to use HVO to lower their carbon emissions across non-transportation applications such as construction, heating systems, farm machinery, generators, marine bunker fuel and data centres.
