For the past decade, mining operations have been focused on lowering cost of production, merging together Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and amount of production achieved. Today, a third factor is impacting the equation: sustainability. Lowering costs and boosting production only go so far, considering the increasing importance of protecting the environment and the communities where mines
Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is often referred to as HVO, or as renewable diesel, and is distinct from biodiesel.
