GREEN PRODUCT
Neste Oils NExBTL renewable diesel the highest quality diesel in the world

NExBTL use reduces traffic related emissions


Helps combat climate change 50-80% lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil diesel Measured over the products entire life cycle

Helps improve urban air quality


Contributes to a significant reduction in pipe emissions compared to fossil diesel
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) -10% Particulates (PM) -28% Carbon monoxide (CO) -28% Hydrocarbons (HC) -50%

Renewable NExBTL diesel


Product quality that outperforms conventional biodiesel (FAME) and fossil diesel Compatible with fossil diesel drop in solution
Can be used in all modern diesel engines without any modifications (passenger cars, buses, trucks, etc.) Meets engine manufacturers toughest quality specifications Can be used in diesel engines as such (100%) or blended with fossil diesel (as in Neste Green diesel) No Best before date Compatible with existing logistical and distribution systems

Can be transported and stored like fossil diesel


Commercially available today Cool-natured characteristics

NExBTL Jet fuel


Neste Oil is a pioneer in renewable fuel for aviation industry Compatible with current jet engines Helps airlines significantly minimize carbon footprint and GHG emissions Worlds largest test is undergoing : Lufthansa flies 8 timeseach day between Hamburg and Frankfurt using Neste Oils bio jet

GREEN PRODUCTION

Renewable Feedstock (Raw Materials)

NExBTL renewable fuel is produced from a mix of various vegetable oils and waste animal fats.

Currently used raw materials

Palm oil, palm stearin, palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD)

Waste animal fat from the meat processing industry

Rapeseed oil

Camelina oil

Jatropha oil

Soy oil

Neste Oils criteria for selecting new raw materials


Availability for industrial scale production Economical perspectives Features of sustainable development Carbon foot print (greenhouse gas emission balance) Water foot print Nutrients Land use Certified CPO by RSPO or others
