Neste's renewable fuels reduced global climate emissions by 8.3 million tons in 2017

Replacing fossil fuels with Neste's renewable fuels reduced global climate emissions altogether by a staggering 8.3 million metric tons or 8.3 billion kilograms in 2017.

The figure reached by the use of Neste’s renewable diesel equals the removal of 3 million passenger cars from the roads for a full year, equivalent to the amount of cars in the city of London, UK.

The amount of greenhouse gas emissions saved with Neste's renewable fuels, primarily Neste MY Renewable Diesel, increased by 1.6 million tons from 2016. The positive result was made possible by Neste's increased production volumes at its renewables-producing refineries in Finland, the Netherlands, and Singapore.

The emission reduction is calculated by comparing the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of the renewable fuels that Neste produces in a year to the life cycle emissions of conventional European diesel.

Neste renewable diesel is refined from waste and residue raw materials, such as animal fat from meat processing waste, used cooking oils, and waste and residues from vegetable oil processing.

Neat Neste MY Renewable Diesel is already available to drivers and fleets in Finland and in California. In Sweden, Neste's renewable diesel is sold as an HVO-type biofuel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) through various retailers.
