Neste and New Jersey Natural Gas target reducing greenhouse gas emissions with renewable diesel

In Finland, Neste and New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG), the principal subsidiary of New Jersey Resources, said they look to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with Neste MY Renewable Diesel. NJNG announced it is switching its medium-duty trucks and associated equipment to renewable diesel to help reduce GHG emissions. 

“We are excited to help New Jersey Natural Gas reduce their fleet emissions with renewable diesel. Innovative companies, like NJNG, are paving the way towards a larger-scale transition to renewables and a cleaner energy future,” said Carrie Song, Senior Vice President, Commercial, Renewable Products at Neste. “This partnership demonstrates the increasing demand for lower-emission fuels across the entire nation. We look forward to helping other businesses in the state effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Neste said that approximately 70 medium-duty trucks in NJNG’s fleet now run on renewable diesel. These vehicles will account for over 57,000 gallons of renewable diesel which can help reduce GHG emissions by up to 550 tons annually compared to the use of fossil diesel.
