Oil refiner and renewable solutions developer Neste plans to launch their diesel produced from renewable raw materials at selected stations in Finland by the start of 2017. The launch is Neste's way to participate in Finland's centennial independence in 2017, known as 'Finland 100 years'.
Majority of the feedstock Neste uses to refine the renewable diesel consists of wastes and residues. The company's NExBTL technology enables them to produce renewable diesel and other products out of waste, residue materials and vegetable oils.
Neste's 100% renewable diesel is already distributed in California, specifically in San Francisco, Oakland, Walnut Creek, Carlsbad, and Sacramento.
