In Finland, Neste and Finland’s national ice hockey league, Liiga, have started a collaboration in which the majority of Liiga teams will use Neste MY Renewable Diesel for their bus transportation during the 2024–2025 season in Finland. With the switch from fossil diesel to Neste MY Renewable Diesel, Liiga targets to reduce a substantial part of its annual total emissions, approximately 6,400 tons of CO2e, which is equal to the annual carbon footprint of approximately 500 to 600 Finns.
Liiga has been focusing on the environmental responsibility of its operations in recent years and is committed to further reducing its carbon footprint. Liiga teams’ travel emissions, approximately 8% of Liiga’s total emissions, are the fourth largest source of emissions after spectator travel (64%), arenas’ electricity consumption (17%), and arenas’ heating (11%). By utilizing Neste MY Renewable Diesel, Liiga can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from teams’ bus transportation by an average of 90% over the fuel’s life cycle when compared to fossil diesel.
