Finnish biofuel producer Neste plans to start commercial production at its renewable fuels expansion project in Singapore in the coming weeks after trial runs.
Neste plans to inaugurate the 1.3 million tonne-per-annum (tpa) plant next month.
The plant will boost Neste’s sustainable aviation fuel capacity by up to 1 million tpa, in addition to a 500,000 tpa project at its Rotterdam plant.
The Singapore expansion and production from a new joint venture plant in California with Marathon Oil Corp hopes to increase Neste’s biofuels capacity to reach 5.5 million tpa by end of 2023, up from 3.3 million tpa.
