The Rotterdam renewable diesel facility has a capacity of 800,000t/a and will increase Neste Oil’s total renewable diesel capacity to two million t/a.
Utilizing Neste Oil’s NExBTL technology, the plant can make flexible use of almost any vegetable oil or waste fat in the production of premium-quality renewable diesel.
Neste Oil president and CEO Matti Lievonen said the Rotterdam plant is Neste Oil’s fourth facility producing high-quality renewable diesel.
"With its start-up, our major EUR1.5bn investment program aimed at increasing our renewable diesel production capacity has entered its final stage," Lievonen said.
NExBTL helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% to 80% compared to fossil diesel, the company said.
