Neste Corp., a producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), announced April 9 that it has begun producing SAF at its biorefinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The refinery has been retrofitted to produce up to 500,000 tons of SAF per year, or approximately 165 million gallons.
As a result, Neste’s global SAF production capacity has been increased to 1.5 million tons per year, or approximately 495 million gallons.
This will make the Rotterdam refinery the largest renewable diesel and SAF production facility in the world.
The expansion, which is scheduled to be completed in 2027, will bring Neste’s total global renewable fuel production capacity to 6.8 million tons per year, of which Neste’s total SAF production capacity will be 2.2 million tons per year.
