Neste MY Renewable Diesel Lowers Your CO2 Emissions
The future of renewable road transport is Neste MY Renewable Diesel, a hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) made from 100% sustainably sourced renewable resources. Neste's primary feedstock consists of food industry waste such as used cooking oil and animal fat.
Neste MY is chemically identical to fossil diesel, making it an excellent drop-in replacement fuel for organizations committed to reducing their fleet carbon emissions – no engine modifications or capital investment required. It also meets the Low Carbon Fuel Standard established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and is fully compatible with all existing diesel engines. Our renewable diesel is the ideal alternative to petroleum diesel.
Simply switching to Neste MY Renewable Diesel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG or CO2e) by up to 75% over the fuel’s lifecycle when compared to conventional diesel.
Is renewable diesel right for you?
Neste MY Renewable Diesel outperforms both petroleum-based diesel and alternative fuels like biodiesel. Offering reliable cold weather performance and free of sulfur, oxygen and aromatic compounds, only Neste MY guarantees that every gallon of renewable diesel sold meets ASTM D975 and EN 15490 specifications in compliance with OEM standards. Neste MY is the first TOP TIER™ certified fuel of its kind, so you can rely on a high standard of performance, improved fuel stability, reduced fuel deposits, and other maintenance and performance benefits.
Fleet operators across all industries are switching to Neste MY Renewable Diesel because it’s easy, cost effective, and delivers immediate reductions in GHG and particulate matter (PM) emissions. This is a simple way to reduce fleet CO2e emissions. Just fill up with renewable diesel and drive!

Renewable diesel vs biodiesel
Renewable diesel and biodiesel are both classified as biofuels, but there are important differences between them. Renewable diesel fuel is a clean-burning, pure hydrocarbon diesel fuel that can be used in all diesel engines, either pure or blended with fossil diesel. Biodiesel is not a hydrocarbon, but a Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) product that requires a modified diesel engine if unblended.
In the United States, pure biodiesel (B100) is not widely available for transportation, but is typically found at blend ratios from 5% to 20%, with traditional diesel making up the remainder. These biodiesel products are marketed as B5 and B20, respectively.
Although both fuels are biomass-based diesel products, renewable diesel offers better vehicle performance, is more sustainably produced, and delivers the greatest reduction in GHG emissions.
