Neste launches 100% renewable diesel in Finland
Neste has launched a renewable diesel made entirely from waste and residues under the brand name Neste MY Renewable Diesel at select service stations in the Helsinki region today.
The new fuel product enables up to 90% lower greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life cycle of the fuel compared to conventional fossil diesel, says a company release.
"The launch of Neste MY is a long-expected opener in the Finnish diesel market. We want to offer this premium product to environmentally conscious consumers and corporate customers, as well as give them the chance to migrate to entirely renewable fuels," says Neste's President & CEO, Matti Lievonen.
The product is priced somewhat higher than Neste Pro Diesel, containing at least 15% of renewable diesel. During January, sales of Neste MY will also expand to select Neste Truck stations for heavy traffic in Finland.
The use of Neste MY Renewable Diesel does not require any modifications to vehicles, according to the company.
