Neste MY Renewable Diesel introduced to the Italian market in collaboration with fuel distributor Firmin
Neste Corporation, News, 9 January 2025
Neste is partnering with the Italian fuel distributor Firmin to make Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ available for the first time in Italy to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission in the transport sector. Neste MY Renewable Diesel (also known as HVO100) is available in Italy from the beginning of January, 2025.
“We are very proud to partner with Firmin bringing Neste MY Renewable Diesel to the Italian market. This collaboration marks an important step in increasing Neste’s presence in a country where we see a growing interest in renewable diesel as a way to decarbonize the transportation sector. With this new collaboration with Firmin we are improving the accessibility of more sustainable transportation solutions across Europe,” says Per Emanuelson, Head of Commercial EMEA at Neste’s Renewable Products business area.
“We are excited that Neste has partnered with Firmin to launch Neste MY Renewable Diesel in Italy. This partnership is a step towards more sustainable road transportation and will offer companies the opportunity to switch from fossil diesel to renewable diesel,” say Nicola Minzocchi and Manuel Minzocchi, CEOs of Firmin.
Many Italian logistics companies, public fleets, construction companies and large fleet operators are in the process of switching to lower-emission energy sources, but a large part of the Italian road transport is still powered by fossil diesel. Neste MY Renewable Diesel will help Italian companies to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions with their existing fleet by switching fossil diesel to renewable diesel. Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a solution for significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, suitable for all diesel engines without any need to invest in new vehicle fleets or modifications to the vehicles or their engine.
Neste MY Renewable Diesel is made from 100% renewable raw materials, primarily waste and residue oils and fats. The use of the fuel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%* over the life cycle of the fuel compared to fossil diesel.
*) Over the lifecycle of the fuel. The GHG emission reduction varies depending on the region-specific legislation that provides the methodology for the calculations (e.g. EU RED II 2018/2001/EU for Europe and US California LCFS for the US), and the raw material mix used to manufacture the product for each market.
