Last year Neste Oil produced approximately 1.3 million tonnes (1.6 billion litres) of renewable NEXBTL diesel from waste and residues. Finnish oil refining and marketing company Neste Oil has signed an agreement with UPS that sees the world’s largest producer of renewable diesel providing the world’s biggest logistics company with NEXBTL renewable diesel for three years. UPS is planning to use 46 million gallons of renewable diesel during this period, as part of its goal to reduce the carbon emissions impact of its fleet.
“We are delighted that we can help UPS reduce their environmental footprint with our low-carbon, low-emission NEXBTL renewable diesel,” says Kaisa Hietala, Neste’s executive vice president of renewable products business area. “Produced from 100 per cent renewable and sustainable raw materials, NEXBTL provides significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, NEXBTL’s significantly lower tailpipe emissions make it an ideal solution to improve urban air quality.”
Starting mid-2015, UPS’s fleet operating in the USA will be running on Neste’s NEXBTL renewable diesel. The companies’ mutual intention is to expand the cooperation globally.
