Neste Oil begins trials of 100 percent biofuel

Neste Oil has begun trials of Neste Green 100 diesel produced from 100 percent renewable raw materials. According to Neste Oil’s Executive Vice President Sakari Toivola the new biofuel is intended to be launched on the consumer market as soon as possible.  

— This is the first time anywhere that a premium renewable diesel fuel will be tested across a range of different cars, tells Toivola.

The trial will include private individuals and Neste Oil employees. Test drivers from outside the company will trial Neste Green 100 diesel from mid-May to Midsummer. Test drivers recruited from the company's employees will continue the trial longer. The drivers will fill up at selected Neste Oil service stations in Greater Helsinki.

According to Neste Oil the new renewable biofuel’s greenhouse gas emissions over its entire life cycle are 40-80 percent lower than those of fossil diesel.
