The patented NEXBTL difference
Based on our proprietary NEXBTL and other hydrotreatment technologies, three crucial steps take place at our refineries. 100% renewable raw materials are turned into a fuel that reduces your GHG emissions by up to 75%* over its lifecycle, compared to fossil diesel.
Three steps to reduce your GHG emissions
1. Sourcing waste with potential
What many consider waste, we assess as highly valuable raw materials – and continue to diversify our portfolio of raw material sources.
The ratio of each material in our fuel varies year-to-year and across regions depending on their availability, price, and market-specific requirements.
Pre-treatment of the raw materials
Our renewable raw materials are pre-treated to remove impurities.
Harnessing hydrotreatment technologies
We use hydrogen to remove oxygen and other impurities, like sulfur, from our renewable raw materials.
Using a process called isomerization, the unique capabilities of our proprietary NEXBTL technology and other hydrotreatment technologies fine-tune the liquid’s hydrocarbon structure to match fossil diesel.
The end result? Neste MY Renewable Diesel. An R99 fuel that cuts greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75%* over its lifecycle compared to fossil diesel.
A high-performance, OEM-approved fuel you can use in any diesel engine neat, or blended with any ratio of fossil diesel.
Sustainability is in our DNA
Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a more sustainable alternative to fossil diesel.
Neste accepts only sustainably-produced raw materials from carefully selected suppliers. All of our contracts with renewable raw material suppliers include strict terms on sustainability: e.g. commitment to sustainability, protecting biodiversity, and respecting human rights are requirements that must be met.
All our refineries have International Sustainability & Carbon Certifications (ISCC) or are approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In addition, the Neste refineries in Porvoo, Rotterdam, and Singapore have ISO 14001 environmental certifications.
We are also well on the way to our next target: carbon neutral production operations by 2035.
