Neste Oil’s renewable diesel used to generate elecricity at two events in Finland

Green Car Congress

Neste Oil’s NEXBTL renewable diesel was used to generate electricity at two major events in Finland this summer: the Flow Festival in Helsinki and the Neste Oil Rally Helsinki Battle street circuit race. NEXBTL diesel generated 45% of the electricity used at the Flow Festival and powered the machinery at the festival site.

First online measurement of gaseous sulfuric acid in diesel exhaust helps clarify role in formation of nucleation particles

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Germany and Finland report the first online measurement of gaseous sulfuric acid (GSA) in the exhaust gas of a modern heavy-duty diesel engine in an effort to quantify the role of low-vapor-pressure gases in the formation of nucleation particles (NUP). of hydrocarbons) significantly. —Arnold et al.

ICCT: real-world NOx from Euro 6 diesel passenger cars more than 2x Euro VI diesel trucks

Green Car Congress

In Europe, the average amount of NO x present in exhaust emissions from modern diesel passenger cars under real-world conditions is more than double the levels from modern trucks and buses, according to a new briefing paper released by the independent research organization International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).

Neste: use of our renewable fuels reduced global climate emissions by 8.3 million tons in 2017

Green Car Congress

The emission reduction is calculated by comparing the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of the renewable fuels that Neste produces in a year to the life cycle emissions of conventional European diesel. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions saved with Neste’s renewable fuels—primarily Neste MY Renewable Diesel—increased by 1.6

EEA finds only mixed progress for Europe’s transport sector in meeting environment, climate goals; GHG emissions up 25% since 1990

Green Car Congress

This increase comes despite past improvements in the efficiency of transport and is broadly in line with increases in the level of economic activity as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), as well as increases in demand for both freight and passenger transport. The share of renewable energy in transport in the EU rose from 6.7%

VTT, Argonne joint study concludes new technologies to reduce friction should be able to reduce fuel consumption by up to 61% in 15-25 years

Green Car Congress

Use of new technologies to reduce friction losses should be able to lower automotive fuel consumption and emissions by 18% within the next 5 to 10 years and by up to 61% within 15 to 25 years, according to a joint study by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in the US. million TJ/a.
