UPM Begins Field Test of Their Wood-Based Biodiesel

UPM will start field tests of its wood-based diesel fuel in urban buses in cooperation with Helsinki Region Transport (HSL) and the VTT Technical Research Centre. The new round of tests with UPM BioVerno fuel will start in October and run for at least one year.
The heavy duty vehicle field tests will focus on investigating UPM's renewable diesel in terms of fuel functionality in bus engines, their emissions and fuel consumption compared to fossil diesel. The tests will be done with four identical buses that have low emissions and efficient engines.
UPM's renewable diesel, known as UPM BioVerno, is produced from crude tall oil, the residue of the pulp industry.
