Neste wants European Commission to keep “all of the above” solutions to road decarbonization

In Finland, the European Commission has published its review of the CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles calling for a 90% reduction of emissions by 2040. Neste welcomes policy actions that will reduce emissions from road transport in Europe, and continues to make significant investments in renewable transport fuels to support the European Union’s net-zero targets.

“Neste supports ambitious climate policies: our renewable solutions helped our customers reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally by 11.1 million tons last year. Yet we believe that this is only possible because of the range of options we currently have available,” says Minna Aila, Executive Vice President, Sustainability and Corporate Affairs at Neste. “We would be cautious to avoid scenarios that lock Europe into a one-technology approach or create dependence on one energy carrier. As the Commision proposal now enters the legislative process, we would like to see support for all renewable and sustainable fuels that also reduce emissions, in particular those that offer immediate solutions. Focusing too narrowly on specific technologies may unintentionally exclude some regions where it will be particularly difficult to electrify and the communities that live there.”
