Neste Oil to Trial 100% Biofuel
(Neste Oil) Neste Oil has begun trials of Neste Green 100 diesel produced from 100% renewable raw materials and free of any fossil oil components in cars in Finland.
“This is the first time anywhere that a premium renewable diesel fuel will be tested across a range of different cars,” says Neste Oil’s Executive Vice President, Oil Retail, Sakari Toivola.
The trial will include private individuals and Neste Oil employees. Test drivers from outside the company will trial Neste Green 100 diesel from mid-May to Midsummer, while test drivers recruited from the company’s employees have begun today and will continue after Midsummer. Drivers will fill up at selected Neste Oil service stations in Greater Helsinki.
Neste Oil is looking forward to the results of the trial with interest. Previous trials have shown that Neste Oil’s renewable diesel offers significant advantages compared to conventional biodiesel. The fuel’s greenhouse gas emissions over its entire life cycle are 40-80% lower than those of fossil diesel, and its tailpipe emissions are also lower.
“The majority of Neste Oil stations in Finland already offer Neste Green diesel, which contains a minimum of 10% renewable diesel blended with conventional diesel fuel,” says Sakari Toivola. “We plan to make Neste Green 100 diesel, which is produced form 100% renewable sources, available to motorists as soon as possible.” READ MORE
