Neste Green Diesel Proves Popular With Finnish Drivers
Posted on: Friday, 20 June 2008, 09:00 CDT
Finland-based Neste Oil has said that its Neste Green diesel product, which was commercially launched in May 2008, is proving popular with drivers. The new fuel has been available at Neste Oil service stations and other outlets in Greater Helsinki and the surrounding areas.
Sales of diesel fuel at Neste Oil stations in 2008 have reportedly grown over 2007 figures, and this trend has also been reflected at those selling Neste Green.
Neste Green diesel contains a minimum of 10% renewable fuel. The product is claimed to have generated interest and discussion among drivers and decision-makers.
This diesel contains a minimum of 10% Neste's NExBTL renewable diesel, and its greenhouse gas emissions are reportedly 5% lower than those of conventional diesel.
Sakari Toivola, Neste Oil's executive vice president of oil retail, said: "Diesel fuel sales have been moving in a positive direction overall. Neste Green diesel sold at least as well as conventional diesel during its first month.
"Although we are distributing it at a limited number of outlets at the moment and having only been doing so for a short time, all the signs are that motorists in Finland have taken to Neste Green diesel well and see it as a good alternative for their vehicles and the environment."
