Neste, a Finnish renewable fuels producer, has achieved a milestone by delivering its MY Renewable Diesel to the marine sector in Singapore. The delivery was conducted in partnership with KPI OceanConnect and Global Energy, marking a first for the Asia-Pacific region.
Made from 100% renewable materials, MY Renewable Diesel can replace fossil diesel in all diesel engines without modifications. Neste claims it reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 90% over its lifecycle compared to traditional diesel, depending on regional regulations and raw material sources.
“This marks a significant milestone for making the marine sector more sustainable,” said Ee Pin Lee, Neste’s APAC head of commercial renewable products.
Jesper Sørensen of KPI OceanConnect emphasized the importance of partnerships in advancing decarbonization, while Chow Munee of Global Energy highlighted the seamless delivery via a Maple barge.
The collaboration demonstrates the marine industry’s growing commitment to reducing its environmental footprint.
