Introducing
BFuture is the very best HVO available, we have selected the best, most sustainable product to provide the premium fuel for the yachting sector.
As well as having a reduced environmental impact, BFuture improves guest experience through reduced smoke (and therefore less staining on the hull from exhausts) and improves efficiency in combustion through a more complete, cleaner combustion producing less strain on the engines.
Welcome aboard the future of yachting, where we invite you to embrace a bold, different, and sustainable approach. Introducing BFuture, our emblem of uncompromising sustainability and unparalleled performance.

HVO (Hydrogenerated Vegetable Oil)
Biofuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats that are processed in a specialist hydro treatment to achieve high levels of purity.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Up to 90% lower CO2 emissions than regular diesel
- Higher energy content than regular diesel meaning more power per MT
- More complete combustion than regular diesel due to high cetane number
- Can be used pure (100% concentration) or blended in any ratio like HVO20 (20% of HVO and 80% diesel)
- Exceptional long term oxidation stability (storage periods off at least 15 years)
- Minimal water content and low water solubility due to non-polar nature
- Low risk of microbiological growth due to low affinity to water
- Can be used in diesel engines without blending and without modifications
- Virtually no sulphur content
- Reduction of exhaust smoke of approximately 35%
- Maintains clean filters (Filter Blocking Tendency of 1.0-1.1. U.K limit 2.52)
HOW IS IT MADE?
HVO is manufactured through the hydrotreatment of waste vegetable oils and fats. During this process, hydrogen removes oxygen from vegetable oil molecules and splits them into separate hydrocarbon chains equivalent to those found in conventional fossil diesel. The resulting fuel is functionally identical to diesel, meaning that HVO can be used as a direct, drop-in alternative.
CHARACTERISTICS HVO VS DIESEL
| HVO | Diesel | |
|---|---|---|
| Feedstock | Vegetable oil and fats | Petrol |
| Density at 15ºC (g/cm3) | 0.765 – 0.800 | 0.835 |
| Viscosity at 40ºC (mm2/s) | 2.0 – 4.5 | 3.5 |
| Sulphur content (ppm) | <5 | <10 |
| Cetane number* | >70 | 40-55 |
| Oxidation stability | Excellent | Standard |
| CFPP | Up to -50 | -15 |
| Energy | 44 Kj | 42.7 Kj |
*Cetane number => 70, the fuel burns cleanly and the engine gets more power.
Today
To be successful we
must take the first step
At Peninsula we recognise the importance of making change now. Our guiding purpose is to lead the marine industry’s transition to a more sustainable future, providing a variety of cleaner energy solutions in a responsible way.
The Peninsula Foundation supports local and international charities that are all having a positive impact on the marine environment.
Aside from the Foundation, we are committed to bringing innovative solutions to our customers to help reduce the impact of carbon emissions for the existing fleet. The true benefit of offsetting carbon emissions has been a hot topic. We are currently working hard to source offset schemes that have a direct and powerful impact on both the marine and global environment.
If you would like to know more about our Carbon Offset programme, please get in touch.
Tomorrow
Working collaboratively
for a better tomorrow
Superyachts have always been on the bleeding edge of innovation, whether it’s developing new super-efficient hull designs or hybrid propulsion systems to reduce noise and fuel consumption, the yachting sector has been at the forefront of research and development.
Up until now, shipyards, designers or owners have been able to work independently to make the next step forward, but in the development of yachts that produce zero emissions, we must work together.
With so many potential future fuels on the horizon, the route to zero emissions is much about the availability of the next generation fuels as it is the propulsion systems they power.
Through our existing network and our own global reach in physical supply, we will be working with all the main stakeholders to ensure the development of zero emission superyachts is supported by a reliable supply chain and therefore becomes a truly sustainable future for the industry.
