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

Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. For local air quality, electric vehicles also offer clear benefits, mainly due to zero exhaust emissions at street level.
