Neste to launch Green Diesel in Finland; hydrogen and vegetable oil blend boosts biofuel content, lowers engine risk

May 15, 2008

In Finland, Neste said that it will launch “Neste Green Dieselâ€ line of hydrotreated vegetable oils and said that the fuel will be suitable for all diesel vehicles despite a biofuel content of more than 10 percent. The company said that its hydrotreatment proces, where vegetable oils and hydrogen are blended, made it possible to exceed the 5 percent biodiesel blend limit that it currently considered safe for all diesel vehicles by vehicle makers.
