How to secure your HVO and B100 fuel supply in 2026

The sustainable fuels market is under strain

Demand for HVO and B100 is growing faster than supply chains can adapt, which shows up as price volatility that shifts from one region to the next, sometimes week to week. The volumes a given distributor can offer vary sharply depending on incoming shipments, commitments already made to other customers, and local production capacity.

For a road, maritime or rail fleet manager, this instability complicates both budget planning and operations. A competitive price obtained today from one distributor guarantees neither its availability nor its level the following week.

Why relying on a single supplier is a risky bet

Building a supply strategy around one distributor means betting that their prices, volumes and delivery times will stay competitive no matter what. In reality, all three of those factors shift constantly, driven by demand, logistics constraints and the supplier's own internal trade-offs.

If that supplier faces a shortage or a delay, the business is left without an immediate alternative, risking either a costly last-minute purchase or, worse, an operational disruption. This dependency also weakens negotiating power: without a benchmark, it is hard to know whether the price on offer is genuinely the best the market has to give.

HVO and B100: two decarbonisation levers available right now

HVO and B100 have the rare advantage of being ready to use today: unlike other solutions still in development, they are compatible with a large share of existing diesel fleets, often without engine modification. Both deliver a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with fossil diesel, measured across the fuel's full life cycle.

Choosing between the two depends on the application: engine compatibility, storage constraints, cold-weather performance requirements or the company's own purchasing policy. Neither HVO nor B100 is inherently superior; the right choice is the one that fits a given fleet's vehicles and operating constraints.

Comparing offers at every order is the real security strategy

In such a fast-moving market, supply security does not come from a fixed commitment but from the ability to compare several verified distributors at every single order. This is exactly what a platform like Heeding enables: viewing prices, availability, delivery times and sustainability certificates from multiple HVO and B100 suppliers in one place.

This approach makes it possible to decide order by order, weighing not only price but also logistical reliability and regulatory traceability, two criteria that matter just as much to a fleet committed to decarbonisation.

• Compare prices from several verified distributors at the point of purchase
• Check the actual availability of HVO or B100 volumes before committing
• Assess delivery times based on region and seasonal demand
• Verify sustainability certificates and traceability aligned with RED II / RED III
• Retain the freedom to switch distributors from one order to the next

Stop being at the mercy of the market: compare offers and choose the best distributor for every order.

Take action now

Waiting for the market to settle on its own is not a strategy: price and volume pressures are likely to persist as long as demand for sustainable fuels keeps growing faster than supply. Flexibility, on the other hand, is available immediately once a company has clear visibility over the offers on the table.

Creating a free account on Heeding gives immediate access to offers from verified HVO and B100 distributors, letting you compare prices, availability and sustainability certificates, and secure every order by choosing the best-fit supplier at that moment, with no exclusive commitment.
