In Singapore, Neste Oil, along with Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Mr. Teo Chee Hean, Finnish Minister for Ownership Steering Mr. Jyri Häkämies, and some 200 guests celebrated the grand opening of its renewable diesel plant in Singapore on March 8th, 2011. While the plant started operations in November 2010, and has run smoothly ever since. Neste Oil’s Singapore plant was completed on-schedule and on-budget.
The plant produces premium-quality NExBTL renewable diesel, which Neste claims is the most advanced and cleanest diesel fuel on the market today. At the end of January 2011, Neste Oil’s Singapore refinery was ISCC. The certificate confirms that NExBTL renewable diesel produced at the Singapore refinery from certified raw materials, such as from ISCC certified palm oil, meets the strict sustainability criteria based on the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive and is suitable for meeting bio-content mandates on the German market.
