Europe’s largest renewable diesel refinery open

On December 19th Neste Oil celebrated the grand opening of its renewable diesel refinery in the Port of Rotterdam together with some 150 guests, including the Dutch Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation Mr Maxime Verhagen, representative of the Finnish Government, and other political, governmental and business representatives.
The start-up of the Neste Oil’s Rotterdam refinery took place in September 2011. The refinery produces premium-quality NExBTL renewable diesel, which is the cleanest and highest-quality renewable diesel on the market today outperforming traditional biodiesels and even the best fossil diesels. The refinery was completed on-schedule and on-budget and marks a major step forward in Neste Oil’s cleaner traffic strategy. Neste Oil’s refinery in Rotterdam has an annual production capacity of 800,000 metric tons or 1 billion liters of renewable diesel and cost around EUR 670 million to build.
