HVO Station: HVO now available for self-service thanks to new legislation

With the growing focus on environmental concerns and the continuous search for sustainable solutions, the french transportation sector is undergoing a major transformation. One of the most significant innovations emerging today is HVO, or Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil.

This next-generation biofuel is set to revolutionize the transport industry, especially following a recent legalization that facilitates its adoption. Indeed, under the decree of June 26, 2024, the French government authorized the distribution of HVO fuel in public service stations, no longer limiting it to tanks for captive fleets.

What are the conditions for HVO distribution in service stations?

It is important to note that HVO will not be immediately available in all service stations. Stations must install dedicated tanks and exclusive pumps for this biofuel. This is where Blocalps steps in to support both public and private service stations in their transition to HVO.

How does Blocalps support service stations with the HVO MINIBOX solution?

To simplify the distribution of HVO fuel, Blocalps offers service stations the opportunity to equip themselves with the Blocalps HVO station, the MINIBOX. This turnkey solution quickly meets the specific storage and distribution requirements of HVO.

Advantages of the MINIBOX service station

• Compact and versatile: With a width of less than 1.65 m, it is perfect for limited spaces and can be easily integrated into an existing station.
• Plug & Play: Thanks to its above-ground configuration, the MINIBOX station is quickly operational, allowing HVO distribution in under 24 hours with minimal work.
• Cost-effective: Designed as a containerized module, the compact MINIBOX station requires no underground work, leading to significant savings on civil engineering costs.
• Compatible with all payment systems.
• Durable and aesthetic: Its container format protects the tank and equipment from the elements, while the smooth walls of the HVO MINIBOX biofuel station can be customized with your station’s branding for optimal visibility and communication.
