Neste is not using palm oil as a raw material for renewable aviation fuel

Responding to recent Biofuel Warch report, Neste have clarified that it is not using palm oil as a raw material for renewable aviation fuel. As stated consistently in previous communications, Neste utilises a diverse portfolio of raw materials with an ever-expanding focus on waste and residue as sources of feedstock for their renewable products. Waste and residue fats and oils account for nearly 80% of the renewable raw materials the company uses annually. Its main R&D focus is on finding new, even lower quality wastes and residues and it is currently even exploring ways to start utilising liquified waste plastic as raw material.
