In Finland, Neste said it welcomed the allowance of unrestricted sales of paraffinic diesel fuels according to the DIN EN 15940 fuel standard in Germany.
The sales of unblended, 100% renewable diesel has previously only been allowed in specific segments, such as in non-road vehicles and public transportation, Neste said.
The approval that has now come into force allows for 100% renewable diesel to be sold and used in all segments in Germany. With this approval, Germany is following other EU countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland and Sweden in which the sale of 100% renewable diesel at public fueling stations has long been permitted, the firm added.
“The approval for the sale of 100% renewable diesel at public fueling stations in Germany provides essential regulatory clarity for fuel manufacturers and enables fuel sellers to finally make this lower-emission fuel available to all. This is a milestone on the way towards the urgently needed defossilization of the transport sector, which requires the use of all available solutions,” saod Jörg Hübeler, from Neste’s Renewable Products Business Development team.
