Renewable Diesel Reduces Carbon Footprint in Finland's Two Major Summer Events

Neste Oil's NEXBTL renewable diesel was used to power two major events in Finland this summer: the Flow Festival in Helsinki and the Neste Oil Rally Helsinki Battle street circuit race.

NEXBTL diesel generated 45 percent of the electricity for the Flow Festival and powered the machinery at the site. This resulted in a 22-ton reduction in emissions, equivalent to nearly three round-the-world flights.

"Using Neste Oil's renewable diesel to generate electricity offered us an excellent way to reduce our carbon footprint," said Flow Festivals's Production Manager Emilia Mikkola.

Last year, NEXBTL diesel was also used to power the Down By The Laituri Festival in Turku and the Tall Ships Races Helsinki event.
