In the heart of Cornwall, the village of Kehelland is at the forefront of a project to demonstrate why the renewable liquid fuel Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is the ideal solution to decarbonising homes on oil heating.
A groundbreaking demonstration project saw dozens of residents and community buildings switch their home heating from kerosene to HVO, a low carbon alternative which drastically cuts emissions and only requires a minor modification to the boiler. The project not only enabled local residents to play their part in decarbonising, but also provided real word evidence of the effectiveness and practicality of HVO for domestic use.
This video chronicles Kehelland’s journey. You’ll hear directly from the residents themselves, sharing their experiences and highlighting the ease of the transition. Their stories offer a compelling solution and alternative to heat pumps when it comes to decarbonising harder to treat rural properties.
The Kehelland project serves as a powerful blueprint for a wider rollout of HVO to the UK’s 1.7 million oil heated homes.
