Neste Oil produces NExBTL diesel (and its other renewable fuel cousins such as jet fuel) by using a proprietary process to hydrogenate vegetable oil or animal fat feedstocks. The result is a tailored drop-in fuel; with several major NExBTL refineries worldwide, Neste is currently the leading producer of renewable diesel.
