Neste Enabled The First-ever Transport of Renewable Diesel by Pipeline in Europe to Help Reduce Emissions from Fuel Transports by 92%
(Biofuels Central) Neste, Altens and TRAPIL have collaborated to enable the first-ever transport of renewable diesel (often also referred to as “HVO100”) by a pipeline in Europe. With a pipeline transport, the greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 92% compared to conventional logistics by tanker trucks.
The fuel transport of Neste-produced renewable diesel took place on 28 March 2022 between the harbor in Le Havre, located in northwestern France, and Gennevilliers, close to Paris. This made large volumes of renewable diesel available widely in the region, also in big cities such as Paris.
Altogether 3.5 million liters of Neste-produced renewable diesel was transported by TRAPIL via the pipeline to the depot in Gennevilliers, where Altens stores its products for the region. The distance between Le Havre and Gennevilliers is 192 km via the pipeline.
The delivery took less than 48 hours to complete and replaced 110 truck deliveries. The pipeline transport of renewable diesel provides a lower-emission alternative to fuel logistics. READ MORE
