Neste testing renewable gasoline in Sweden for possible commercialization internationally

Green Car Congress

MAY 22, 2021

Neste, the world’s leading producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), is beginning the final phase of testing of a renewable gasoline for drop-in commercial use in the existing fleet. Neste aims to improve this figure to achieve up to 90% emission reduction with the fuel eventually.

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) are beginning testing of the Soletair demo plant, which uses air-captured carbon dioxide to produce renewable fuels and chemicals. Hydrogen is used with recycled carbon dioxide to produce renewable fuels, raw materials, and chemicals.

Efforts to improve the fuel efficiency of new cars sold in the European Union (EU) stalled in 2017 compared to 2016, according to provisional data published today by the European Environment Agency (EEA). Registrations increased in all EU Member States except Finland, Ireland and the United Kingdom. A total of 15.1 g CO 2 /km).

The main factors contributing to the increase of new passenger cars’ emissions in 2018 include the growing share of gasoline cars in new registrations, in particular in the sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment. Moreover, the market penetration of zero- and low-emission vehicles, including electric cars, remained slow in 2018.

The market penetration of electric cars remained slow in 2019. Several factors affected this emission increase, including an increase in the average mass and only a limited increase of the share of electric vans (BEV sand PHEV) from 0.8% g CO 2 /km) are now very close to those of gasoline cars (127.6 g CO 2 /km—0.5

NOVEMBER 4, 2009

Neste Oil and St1 have begun working together on a fuel project as part of the TransEco development program coordinated by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. As part of this, we have built a demonstration facility in Varkaus with Stora Enso to process and refine forest-derived biomass into traffic fuel.

MARCH 5, 2019

With increased negative public perception towards diesels, combined with new government regulations such as WLTP and scrutiny of the fuel type, demand for diesel fell by 18% in 2018. The average emissions for diesel cars continued to be lower than their gasoline counterparts (3.2

This was in part caused by marked changes in attitude and regulations around the use of diesel fuels which has had the unintended consequence of pushing people to drive higher-CO 2 -emitting gasoline vehicles. Pure electric cars have a 2% market share in France, this being the highest share among all five major markets.
