If you want to read about HVO, here's a linky....
Crown Oil - Fuel & lubricants
Steve's comment about his colleague not being able to use diesel in his 4WD once he'd converted to Bio got me thinking. Apparently with this latest stuff you can. The above link mentions this..

Q: Can you mix HVO fuel and diesel?
A: Yes, HVO fuel is fully miscible with mineral diesel so you can simply top up your existing diesel stocks and go! However, many of the benefits will be lost if they are mixed due to diesel’s properties. When possible, it’s best to start a fresh with a clean tank of HVO to guarantee its long storage life and high-quality attributes.

So that's nice. Having studied Science in my youth, and being an old cynic now, I can't help wondering if there isn't a catch somewhere.
Maybe it's because it has to be grown as a crop, and the world is going to to need loads of arable land to feed many more people in the future. We're told that eating cows and sheep is bad for the planet.
But it's good to see that someone is trying to get the emissions down. Good on DB for giving it a go.
