What They Do

Neste is a global leader in renewable energy, specializing in the production of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel through its proprietary NEXBTL technology. This innovative refining platform allows Neste to convert a diverse range of renewable oils and fats into high-quality hydrocarbons, making it possible to produce 100% renewable diesel that can seamlessly replace fossil fuels without requiring modifications to existing engines or infrastructure (source: neste.com). The company’s product portfolio includes renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, and renewable polymers and chemicals, catering to various sectors including transportation, aviation, and the plastics industry (source: neste.com). Neste's commitment to sustainability is evident in its sourcing strategy, which prioritizes waste and residues over virgin vegetable oils, thus addressing food security concerns associated with biofuels (source: neste.com).

Projects & Track Record

Neste has made significant strides in renewable diesel production, with its first NEXBTL renewable diesel unit operational at the Porvoo refinery since 2007. This facility has been pivotal in demonstrating the environmental benefits of renewable diesel, as evidenced by the complete switch of Helsinki Region Transport's bus fleet to Neste's NEXBTL diesel, which resulted in a notable reduction in emissions (source: neste.com). The company expanded its global footprint with the opening of the world's largest renewable diesel refinery in Singapore in 2010, which has an annual capacity of 1.1 million metric tonnes (source: neste.com). As of 2023, Neste's total renewable production capacity stands at approximately 5.5 million tons annually, with plans to increase this to 6.8 million tons by 2027 through ongoing expansions at its Rotterdam facility (source: neste.com).

Recent Developments

In recent years, Neste has focused on expanding its production capabilities and enhancing its sustainability initiatives. The company is currently working on the expansion of its Rotterdam refinery, which is expected to be completed by 2027, increasing its renewable product capacity significantly (source: neste.com). Neste is also advancing its feedstock technologies, particularly in lignocellulosic biomass and forestry residues, to further diversify its raw material inputs (source: neste.com). Additionally, Neste aims to support its customers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20 million tons of CO2e annually by 2030, aligning with its goal of achieving carbon-neutral production by 2035 (source: neste.com).

Working There

Neste offers a diverse range of employment opportunities across various departments, including marketing, renewable aviation, and product development. The company’s primary office is located in Espoo, Finland, with significant operational roles at its Porvoo, Singapore, and Rotterdam facilities (source: neste.com). Neste's organizational culture emphasizes innovation and sustainability, reflecting its transformation from a traditional oil company to a pioneer in renewable fuels (source: neste.com).
