Decarbonising the future of road transport.

As the lifeblood of the global economy, land transport is at a pivotal turning point in the race to net‑zero.

What we do

Industry challenge

Road transport remains a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for nearly 16% of global CO₂. To achieve national climate goals, the Swiss government is implementing ambitious legislation such as the Third CO₂ Act to reduce transport‑related emissions through cleaner fuels, efficient vehicles, and stricter emission limits.

Regarding biofuels, the Third CO₂ Act requires fuel importers and suppliers to reduce lifecycle emissions, which encourages blending biofuels into conventional fuels. Tax reliefs and exemptions are granted for certified sustainable biofuels, making them more competitive against fossil fuels.

By linking with EU frameworks, the Act ensures Switzerland aligns with European targets, driving greater adoption of advanced biofuels.

Our solution

Drop‑in fuels, ready today.

Helvoil produces HVO, an immediately deployable, drop-in renewable diesel that requires no new vehicle technology or infrastructure and can be used at up to 100% in compatible diesel vehicles.

Technology & feedstock

HVO is produced via hydroprocessing, in which non-edible waste such as used cooking oil is reacted with hydrogen at high temperature and pressure. It serves as a drop-in diesel substitute, cutting lifecycle CO₂ emissions by up to 85%.
