Asia-Pacific HVO for Data Center Backup Market is Estimated to Reach $359.5 Thousand by 2033 - BIS Research

What is the HVO for Data Center Backup? 

Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a renewable, paraffinic diesel alternative produced from sustainable feedstocks like used cooking oil, animal fats, and non-edible oils. As a drop-in fuel, HVO can directly replace conventional diesel in existing backup generators without engine or infrastructure modifications. 

What is the Current Market Outlook for Asia-Pacific HVO for Data Center Backup? 

The APAC HVO for data center backup market is in an early but rapidly accelerating growth phase. While the 2024 market size stands at $112.1 thousand, strong demand from hyperscale and colocation data centers is driving investment in renewable backup solutions. Singapore, Japan, Australia, and India are leading adoption, supported by government biofuel mandates, carbon pricing mechanisms, and aggressive corporate sustainability targets. Hyperscalers like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are piloting HVO in their regional facilities to meet 24/7 carbon-free energy goals by 2030. With increasing grid instability in parts of Southeast Asia and India, HVO also addresses energy security concerns, making it a strategic choice for resilient, low-carbon backup power.
