Introduction to Europe HVO for Data Center Backup Market

The Europe HVO for data center backup market was valued at $6,699.9 thousand in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.42%, reaching $21,672.1 thousand by 2034. The market for hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) for data centre backup power is expanding in Europe as data centres look for low-emission, environmentally friendly substitutes for traditional diesel. Reliable and eco-friendly backup solutions are becoming more and more necessary as our reliance on cloud services and digital infrastructure increases. HVO provides a renewable fuel drop-in alternative that guarantees continuous power while drastically lowering lifecycle carbon emissions.

KEY MARKET STATISTICS
Forecast Period	2025 - 2034
2025 Evaluation	$8,883.0 Thousand
2034 Forecast	$21,672.1 Thousand
CAGR	10.42%

Fuel efficiency, storage life, and overall system performance are being improved by developments in HVO production and integration with contemporary energy systems. Important industry participants are actively investing in increasing HVO supply and capacity throughout Europe, including Neste, TotalEnergies, Repsol, ENI S.p.A., and Phillips 66..

Stricter EU climate rules, business sustainability objectives, and mounting pressure to decarbonise data centre operations are all influencing this industry. Data centre operators are therefore increasingly using HVO as a scalable, affordable, and climate-aligned backup power option. The European HVO industry is still growing quickly, which helps the continent's overall shift to a more environmentally friendly digital economy.

Market Introduction

In the field of digital infrastructure, the European market for hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) for data centre backup power is becoming a major facilitator of sustainable energy practices. Reducing the environmental impact of data centres, especially in backup power production, is becoming more and more important as their capacity and significance grow. As a cleaner alternative to diesel generators, many European operators are switching to HVO, a renewable, biodegradable fuel made from waste oils and fats.

Reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved combustion efficiency, and compatibility with current diesel engines are just a few of the many benefits that make HVO a perfect retrofit. It meets operational reliability requirements since it works well in cold regions and may be stored for long periods of time without degrading. Regional environmental objectives, governmental challenges, and expanding business commitments to carbon neutrality all promote the change.

HVO is being more widely used in data centre applications throughout Europe, including Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. To guarantee continuous quality and sustainable sourcing, industry participants are investing in specialised supply chains and certification regimes. HVO is positioned to be a key player in Europe's shift to low-emission digital infrastructure as the need for green backup power grows.
