Neste to open the first site in California offering renewable diesel

Finish oil company Neste is bringing its renewable diesel to norther and central California by opening unstaffed stations.

Neste-branded cardlock in San Leandro and other three sites will open in cooperation with local distributors this spring. Cardlocks are unstaffed fueling stations designed to accommodate fleet vehicles, including 18-wheel trucks.

These sites will dispense Neste MY Renewable Diesel, a low-carbon fuel produced from 100 percent renewable and sustainable raw materials.

“Since launching in California in 2017, we’ve had a lot of positive feedback from drivers and fleet managers using Neste MY Renewable Diesel,” said Jeremy Baines, Vice President of Sales for Neste.

In 2018, the San Leandro location served over 16,000 customers, making the switch to Neste MY Renewable Diesel is estimated to help these drivers reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 20,000 tons every year.
