Neste has begun the construction of the world's first Bio-liquid petroleum gas (LPG) production facility in Rotterdam. The facility will start production of Bio-LPG in the end of 2016.
Bio LPG will enable users of existing fossil fuels to reduce their carbon footprint without any modifications to existing gas applications technology. The bio-LPG can be used within a full range of LPG applications. SHV Energy will be the exclusive distributor, supplying the 160,000 tonnes over four years.
"Bio-LPG can be used within a full range of existing LPG applications. This provides our customers with an even cleaner rural energy alternative to the high-carbon fuels many are dependent on in off-grid areas," said Fulco van Lede, management board member of SHV Energy.
