Neste’s renewable products helped customers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally by 10 million tons in 2020
The amount equals the annual carbon footprint of 1.5 million average EU citizens
In 2020, Neste’s renewable products helped customers in several geographic markets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10.0 million tons altogether. This amount equals the annual carbon footprint of 1.5 million average EU citizens (source: World Bank) or the removal of 3.7 million passenger cars from the roads for a full year.
“We are committed to help customers reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 million tons annually by 2030. We aim to achieve this commitment with our portfolio of renewable and circular solutions for road transportation and aviation, as well as for the plastics and chemicals industries.

ECSA Seeks EU Law Requiring Bunker Suppliers to Sell Zero-Carbon Fuels
by Ship & Bunker News Team
Monday February 15, 2021 Industry body the
European Community Shipowners Associations (ECSA) has recommended that the EU makes it mandatory for bunker suppliers to sell zero-carbon fuels as it starts to charge the shipping industry for its carbon emissions. The European Union is seeking to add shipping to its emissions trading system, making the industry pay for its carbon emissions as an incentive towards reducing them. In a statement on its website on Monday the ECSA said the money raised through a market-based measure (MBM) along these lines should be used to make zero-carbon fuels cheaper for shipping, and that fuel suppliers should be required to make these products available.
ECSA: EU fuel standard should address fuel suppliers, not ships February 15, 2021, by Naida Hakirevic
The future EU fuel standard requirement should merely concern fuel suppliers and not vessels, the European Community Shipowners’ Associations (ECSA) pointed out.
According to EU shipowners, the European Commission should address fuel suppliers by introducing sub-targets to make low- and zero-carbon fuels available for shipping and by increasing the multiplier for renewable fuels used in the maritime sector under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED).
A fuel standard as a requirement for ships instead of fuel suppliers under the FuelEU Maritime proposal would risk failing to deliver emissions reductions and would be challenging to enforce, ECSA members believe.
