Italian government introduces mandate for unblended biofuels

In Italy, the Italian government has decided to introduce a mandate for increasing the use of unblended, i.e. “neat”, biofuels to further accelerate greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reductions in the transport sector. While the use of such renewable fuels is not new in Italy, their use as neat, i.e. without being blended with fossil fuels, comes as a solution to support an already ambitious decarbonization roadmap when it comes to the transport sector.

Neste says its renewable diesel can be used unblended (100% concentration, i.e. “neat”) without the need for any changes in the diesel-powered vehicles or their engines. The use of 100% renewable diesel is widely approved by vehicle and engine manufacturers.
