Neste Oil to launch Green Diesel in Finland
16th May, 2008
Neste Oil operates a 170,000 tonne a year biodiesel plant in Porvoo, Finland
The biodiesel producer says the fuel will be suitable for all diesel vehicles despite a biofuel content of more than 10%.
Neste Oil's hydrotreatment process, where vegetable oils and hydrogen are blended, made it possible to exceed the 5% biodiesel blend limit that it currently considered safe for all diesel vehicles by vehicle makers.
Neste Oil operates a 170,000 tonne a year biodiesel plant in Porvoo, Finland, and is constructing another. Neste Oil also plans to invest approximately €550 million in building a plant in Singapore to produce NExBTL Renewable Diesel. NExBTL technology is the first commercial new-generation renewable diesel production process, and can use any vegetable oil or animal fat as its input.
