Neste has partnered with Italian fuel distributor Firmin to introduce Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ to Italy for the first time, marking a significant step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. Starting January 2025, Neste MY Renewable Diesel (also known as HVO100) will be available to Italian companies as a sustainable alternative to fossil diesel.
Per Emanuelson, Head of Commercial EMEA at Neste’s Renewable Products division, commented, “We are excited to partner with Firmin to bring Neste MY Renewable Diesel to the Italian market. This collaboration is an important milestone in expanding Neste’s presence in a country where there is growing interest in renewable diesel as a key solution to decarbonize transportation. Together with Firmin, we are enhancing the accessibility of sustainable transportation solutions across Europe.”
Nicola Minzocchi and Manuel Minzocchi, CEOs of Firmin, also expressed their enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled that Neste has partnered with Firmin to launch Neste MY Renewable Diesel in Italy. This collaboration is a crucial step toward more sustainable road transportation, offering businesses the opportunity to transition from fossil diesel to renewable diesel.”
As many Italian logistics companies, public fleets, construction companies, and large fleet operators seek to reduce emissions, Neste MY Renewable Diesel provides an ideal solution for significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The fuel can be used in existing diesel engines, eliminating the need for costly vehicle upgrades or fleet replacements. By simply switching from fossil diesel to renewable diesel, Italian businesses can drastically reduce their carbon footprint.
Neste MY Renewable Diesel is produced from 100% renewable raw materials, primarily waste and residue oils and fats. The fuel offers an impressive potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%* over its lifecycle compared to traditional fossil diesel.
This collaboration with Firmin is a crucial move to help Italy’s transportation sector meet sustainability goals. With Neste MY Renewable Diesel, companies can adopt cleaner, more sustainable fuel solutions without the need for new vehicle investments or modifications.
