Lower emissions with
Neste MY Renewable Diesel™

Neste MY Renewable Diesel
TM
is a fully renewable diesel fuel Neste has developed to reduce the climate impact of transportation.

Renewable diesel fuel has several advantages over fossil diesel. Compared to fossil diesel, renewable diesel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75% gas emissions (CO2 equivalent) over its life cycle.

Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a drop-in fuel. This enables easy and quick switching without conversion costs to either vehicles or fueling and storage infrastructure. It can also be used neat (100%) or blended with fossil diesel. Just fuel and drive!
What is renewable diesel?
It’s not fossil diesel. It’s not biodiesel. Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a high quality diesel made from renewable materials that do not release new carbon into the atmosphere. Neste’s proprietary NEXBTL technology allows a wide range of fats, oils and waste products to be used as feedstocks, such as used cooking oils and waste fats from the food industry and restaurants.

The result is a product that is significantly better for the environment than fossil diesel, while - thanks to its chemical composition - delivering at least the same performance, if not better, and can be used without modifications to the fleet or infrastructure. Just fuel and drive! Where can I buy Neste MY Renewable Diesel?
Neste has several distributors who offer flexible solutions for your company. You can find an overview of distributors and their fueling stations selling Neste MY at www.nestemy.com.

Advantages of Neste MY Renewable Diesel compared to fossil diesel Renewable and
sustainable
Neste MY Renewable
Diesel uses a wide
range of fats, oils and
waste products.

Smaller carbon
footprint
In addition to a reduction
in tailpipe emissions,
green house gas emis-
sions are also reduced
by up to 75%.

Easy to use
Fully compatible
with existing fuel infra-
structure, no further
investment required.

TOP TIER
™
fuel
The first TOP TIER
TM

certified renewable
diesel for its high
quality and powerful
performance.

Excellent cold weather
performance
Suitable for cold weather conditions,
down to -4°F (-20°C) for Winter grade
and 10°F (-12°C) for the summer grade.

Efficient combustion
With a high cetane number (70+),
Neste MY ensures efficient and clean
combustion.

Excellent storage properties
The fuel is stable and can be stored
for a long time without losing quality
or absorbing water.

Odorless
The fuel does not contain sulfur,
oxygen or aromatics.

Lower maintenance costs
compared to other renewable
alternatives
Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a high
quality fuel, which could mean fewer
maintenance visits compared to other
renewable alternatives.

Pure hydrocarbon
The chemical composition of Neste MY
Renewable Diesel is similar to ordinary
fossil diesel.

No blending limit
The fuel can be used neat (100%
Neste MY Renewable Diesel) or in any
ratio blended with fossil diesel.

The solution to improve
local air quality
Scientific studies and road tests have shown
that if you fill up with 100% Neste MY Renewable
Diesel, in addition to a CO2e reduction of up to
75%, the following emissions* are reduced up to:
• 33% lower levels of fine particles
• 9% lower nitrogen oxides (NOx)
• 30% less hydrocarbons (HC)
• 24% lower carbon monoxide (CO), and
• reduced levels of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

In order to achieve today’s goals of eliminating fossil fuel, Neste MY Renewable Diesel offers a drop-in
solution that all diesel vehicles can use immediately.

Approved by leading
manufacturers
Neste MY Renewable Diesel meets the ASTM D975
paraffinic fuel standard. Most heavy vehicle manu-
facturers, such as Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar, Volvo Trucks, Paccar, Mack, John Deere, plus many
other international brands have approved the use of
neat renewable diesel in their engines.
*) The emissions of the vehicles have been compared to conventional diesel. The results have been published in 40 scientific publications. Approved by leading manufacturers.
