Neste Oil and Raisio made an agreement on the use of domestic rapeseed oil
surplus as raw material for renewable diesel
Neste Oil and Raisio have agreed on long-term cooperation regarding the
utilisation of Raisio's rapeseed oil surplus as a renewable diesel raw material
of Neste Oil. According to the agreement, starting from October 2010 Neste Oil
will use all the rapeseed oil generated as a by-product in Raisio's feed protein
production that has no market in the food chain.
With this agreement, rapeseed oil produced in Finland will become a remarkable
raw material source in the renewable diesel production of the Porvoo refinery.
"We are pleased that the proportion of domestic raw material will grow at the
Porvoo refinery. Until now, we have used practically all domestic waste animal
fat sourced from food industry at our NExBTL plants. We have also used rapeseed
earlier, but this agreement enables us to use it even more", says Jarmo
Honkamaa, Deputy CEO of Neste Oil and Executive Vice President in its Renewable
Fuels business area.
The agreement is also extremely important from the perspective of the Finnish
food chain. For its part, it enables the development of Finnish feed protein
production and the strengthening of protein self-sufficiency. More extensive
cultivation opportunities of oil plants will bring a significant addition to the
diversity of field cultivation and strengthen the security of supply in Finland.
"This cooperation agreement with Neste Oil will open new opportunities for
Raisio to stabilise and develop the feed protein business together with our
contract farmers and plant processing partners", says the CEO Matti Rihko.
