Neste Oil receives recognition for its innovativeness and commitment to
sustainability
Neste Oil received recognition for its innovative product development on 25
August in Singapore. Neste Oil Singapore was honored with Frost and Sullivan's
Asia Pacific Green Excellence Award for Product Innovation in Bioenergy. Neste
Oil was ranked as the best performer for its product profile and business
commitment to sustainability and environmental accountability in the category of
Chemicals.
"We are extremely honored and proud to be recognized in this way," says Petri
Jokinen, Managing Director of Neste Oil Singapore. "We aim to encourage
innovativeness and emphasize environmental aspects and sustainability in all
areas of our operations, and this award shows that our efforts are being noticed
and appreciated also by others.
"Neste Oil is well-known as a producer of premium-grade renewable diesel and as
a pioneer in responsible operations. Our recent start-up of the world's largest
renewable diesel plant in Singapore probably helped secure our excellent ranking
this year, as did the growing potential of our unique NExBTL technology,"
continues Jokinen.
Based on Neste Oil's proprietary technology, premium-quality NExBTL renewable
diesel is the most advanced diesel fuel on the market today. NExBTL renewable
diesel meets the toughest quality and environmental standards and its technical
properties exceed those of both conventional biodiesel and fossil diesel. It has
been shown to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50% over the
product's entire life cycle when compared to fossil diesel; and its lower
tailpipe emissions also make a valuable contribution to enhancing overall air
quality.
