Bright Spot | Neste

Neste began researching and developing renewable fuels in the 1990s, when renewable energy was far from mainstream and regulatory frameworks or support mechanisms were virtually non-existing. The company had a strong belief in the market potential and in the inevitability of the transition to renewable fuels.

Having developed its own technology to turn renewable oils and fats into premium-quality renewable fuels, Neste was well-positioned when the market started to emerge. The company accelerated its investments and launched commercial production of renewable diesel in Porvoo, Finland, in 2007. New facilities in Singapore followed in 2010 and its Rotterdam facility opened in 2011. The company is now expanding its refinery in Rotterdam and will more than double the current SAF production capability there.

We operate in the Port of Rotterdam, which is an attractive industrial cluster supporting us with the infrastructure, utilities, networks, people, resources, expertise and logistics.

Mission Possible Partnership | MPP

Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is an independent non-profit organisation advancing global clean industry transformation. Since 2019, we have been working with some of the most energy-intensive industries: aluminium, aviation, cement, chemicals, shipping and steel, to cut their nearly 25% of global GHG emissions. ​
​
We mobilise business, finance, government and civil society leaders to speed up the shift to clean materials, chemicals and fuels. Having charted sectoral pathways to net-zero, we continue to forge new territory, lifting the barriers to enable a critical mass of clean industrial projects to break ground by 2030.
