Neste to lead its Renewable Polymers and Chemicals business from its office in Düsseldorf, Germany

Earlier, Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ has helped the Hamburg and Stuttgart airports reduce their ground fleets’ emissions, while Neste played a key role also in a successful demonstration project testing a diesel blend “Diesel R33” in 280 buses, cars, and trucks for over a year in Coburg. Lufthansa and Neste jointly tested Neste MY Renewable Jet Fuel™ in close to 1,200 flights between Frankfurt and Hamburg and one intercontinental flight between Frankfurt and Washington D.C. as early as in 2011. Just recently the companies announced that Lufthansa will use Neste’s sustainable aviation fuel, blended with fossil jet fuel on flights departing from Frankfurt.

“Renewable and circular polymers and chemicals can play a major role in addressing climate change and the problem of global plastic waste alike. Germany is home to some of the world’s most successful plastics and chemicals companies and Düsseldorf centrally located in terms of Central European chemical industry. Our ambition is to join forces with frontrunners in order to create a healthier planet for our children,” says Neste’s President and CEO Peter Vanacker.
