Trade associations OFTEC and UKIFDA have called on the government to back a wider rollout of HVO, arguing the demonstration project and subsequent report show that HVO is a cost effective, pragmatic and realistic solution for decarbonising off-grid homes and businesses which would otherwise struggle to switch to a heat pump.
