Neste and Bayer sign MOU to develop winter canola ecosystem in the US for SAF

January 8, 2025 |

In Finland, Neste and Bayer have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at developing a winter canola ecosystem in the U.S, including identifying partners and developing the value chain together, and scaling winter canola production as a raw material for renewable products

Neste is working together with value chain partners in several regions globally, collaborations varying from smaller field trials studying sustainability benefits of selected concepts to more mature projects using different regenerative agriculture practices. The aim is to identify the most promising concepts that can be scaled up and can play an important role in diversifying and growing Neste’s raw materials pool for renewable products.

Winter canola, used as a rotational crop in combination with regenerative agriculture practices, can improve soil health and sequester carbon, contributing to more sustainable farming. The resulting lower carbon intensity raw material can then be used to produce renewable fuels like sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel, that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the life cycle compared to fossil fuels.
