Neste, PetroCard to expand renewable diesel access in the Pacific Northwest
This partnership expands the availability of Neste MY Renewable Diesel to key locations in PetroCard’s network of commercial fuel stations in Oregon.
Neste is partnering with PetroCard, a commercial fleet fuel management solutions provider, to grow the accessibility of its renewable diesel in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S.
This partnership expands the availability of Neste MY Renewable Diesel to key locations in PetroCard’s network of commercial fuel stations in Oregon and offers commercial, state, and municipal fleet customers access to a lower-carbon alternative to fossil diesel.
“Partnering with PetroCard enables us to meet the growing demand for sustainable, lower-emission solutions from commercial and government entities in the region. There is no time to wait in the fight against climate change, and that is why we are working hard to bring more renewable diesel to the market to help cut greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector immediately,” says Carrie Song, Vice President, Renewable Road Transport Americas at Neste.
Neste MY Renewable Diesel, made from sustainably-sourced, 100% renewable raw materials, results in up to 75% reduced GHG emissions over its life cycle compared to fossil diesel and when used in its neat form, according to Neste.
“Our commitment to provide our customers access to innovative fuel solutions that create value and efficiency unequivocally includes offering products and solutions that contribute to a better, more sustainable tomorrow,” said Laura Yellig, President and CEO of PetroCard.
While this drop-in, more sustainable fuel solution will initially be offered at selected locations, Yellig anticipates that the preference and demand for renewable diesel will quickly resonate with fleets. “PetroCard is positioned to support fleets and businesses across the Northwest with this transition,” added Yellig.
Neste's current annual production capacity totals 1.14 billion gallons (3.3 million tons) of renewable products globally.
