In the biofuels sector, we offer important components for modern renewable fuels, including:
FAME (Fettsäuremethylester)
Classic biodiesel, methyl ester of higher fatty acids. Produced by the transesterification of oils or fats with methanol. FAME complies with the EN 14214 standard for fatty acid methyl esters and is used in blends with diesel fuel (up to 7% as B7; higher concentrations require appropriate engine technology). It is biodegradable, non-toxic, and reduces exhaust emissions compared to conventional oil.
UCOME (Methylester aus gebrauchtem Speiseöl)
Biodiesel produced from used cooking oils (UCO). Technically, it is the same fuel type as FAME, but uses waste-derived cooking oils as the feedstock. UCOME also meets the EN 14214 specification. It is an environmentally friendly fuel that utilizes waste and reduces the need for primary raw materials.
HVO (hydriertes Pflanzenöl)
A second-generation renewable paraffin diesel fuel. It is obtained by hydrorefining vegetable oils and waste fats. HVO is a fully renewable diesel substitute that complies with the EN 15940 standard (so-called drop-in fuel). In practice, it can be used instead of conventional diesel fuel without any engine modifications. It has excellent storage stability (shelf life of up to 10 years) and very good low-temperature properties (CFPP down to -27°C). HVO enables a reduction in CO₂ emissions of up to 90% compared to fossil fuels.
Thanks to our collaboration with certified biofuel producers, we supply components that meet high quality standards (e.g., European EN standards). The FAME, UCOME, and HVO products we offer come from reputable suppliers, guaranteeing repeatable parameters and on-time deliveries.
