Neste makes Singapore’s first marine sector renewable diesel delivery

Neste has made the first delivery of its MY Renewable Diesel to the marine sector in Singapore. The delivery was made in cooperation with KPI Ocean Connect, with operational delivery in Singapore waters being carried in partnership with Global Energy.

Neste, Finnish-headquartered renewable fuels producer, says that its MY Renewable Diesel is a solution for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in multiple sectors powered by diesel engines, such as in heavy transportation, mining and in construction. Made from 100% renewable raw materials, Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a direct replacement to fossil diesel, suitable for all diesel engines, and its use is claimed to result in up to 90% reduced GHG emissions over its life cycle compared to fossil diesel.

The GHG emission reduction varies depending on the region-specific legislation that provides the methodology for the calculations (e.g. EU RED II 2018/2001/EU for Europe and U.S. California LCFS for the U.S.), and the raw material mix used to manufacture the product for each market. Neste says that its MY Renewable Diesel has a similar chemical composition to fossil diesel, it is a drop-in solution that can be used in all diesel-powered vessels without the need for additional investment or modifications to engines or fuel distribution infrastructure.
