Exhaust particle size distributions measured by ELPI (color map) and particle concentration measured by CPC (white line) during individual engine braking conditions (speed change from 32 km/h to 0 km/h). The starting point of engine braking is marked by a vertical green line, and the end point is marked by a vertical red line.

FEBRUARY 6, 2018

Replacing fossil fuels with Neste’s renewable fuels reduced global climate emissions altogether by a 8.3 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.

Study shows renewable diesel from crude tall oil is a high quality drop-in fuel for off-road engines

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 20, 2016

A team from the University of Vaasa (Finland) and UPM-Kymmene Corporation has examined how the blends of fossil and renewable diesel produced from crude tall oil (CTO) affect the performance and exhaust emissions of the modern common-rail off-road diesel engine. No engine or parameter modifications were made.

MAY 22, 2012

It is well known that renewable diesel, such as hydro-treated vegetable oil (pictured), is a promising alternative to traditional diesel fuel in engines offering substantial reductions in exhaust emissions. However, to really maximise its potential, it appears that certain adjustments must be made to an engine.
