With kerosene prices staying high, but electricity prices also very high, it seems like now is a time where HVO would look as good cost wise as it is likely to.

Does anyone have any information about when HVO is going to be available for domestic properties and what the pricing might be like? I have no idea how the cost of current HVO for diesel applications compares to fossil fuels.

I'm tempted to say that it will be at about the same time that the first nuclear fusion power station comes online.

There are various people offering to quote for HVO, although mostly it seems to be offered as a diesel substitute. Here are three from Google:

https://watsonfuels.co.uk/hvo/

You could give one or more of them a call to ask?

..which means, I think, that it is subject to the same fuel duty as the diesel you put in your car.  What you need for your home is "rebated fuel".  Reading this document https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/changes-to-rebated-fuels-entitlement-from-1-april-2022/check-when-rebated-fuel-can-be-used#:~:text=From 1 April 2022, rebated,machines it looks as if HVO may be potentially available as a rebated fuel - although I don't know what stops you siphoning it out of your oil tank and running your diesel car on it (equivalent to the red dye they put in "red diesel").

Place I get my Kerosene from converted a receptionists home heating to it. Not checked if they supply to the general public though. 
 I say converted, drained tank and replaced nozzles/set the boiler up to run on it (same as diesel setup).
 They had stated it was more expensive than Kerosene, but never said by how much.
