Neste boasts record results in greenhouse emission reductions
Neste's renewable fuels reduced greenhouse emissions equivalent to 1.3 million cars during record-breaking 2015.
Globally, Neste renewable diesel reduced greenhouse gas emissions by about 6.4 metric tons. This corresponds to the greenhouse gas emissions of about 1.3 million cars, or over 50% of the greenhouse gas emissions of Finnish road traffic.
“We are the world's largest company that produces renewable fuel from waste and residue raw materials, and our goal is to further increase their use because they result in the highest greenhouse gas emission reductions", says Kaisa Hietala, Executive Vice President, Renewable Products at Neste.
The amount of waste and residue used in Neste renewable fuel refining increased to almost 2 million metric tons in 2015. They were used for refining almost 2 billion liters of Neste Renewable Diesel, which is enough to power about 2 million cars for 12 months if used as 100% blend.
According to the company, using Neste Renewable Diesel results in 40-90% lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil diesel.
The goal of Neste is to annually reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a total of 7 million metric tons with renewable fuels by 2017.
