Neste, KPI Oceanconnect and Global Energy have partnered together to deliver renewable diesel to the marine sector in Singapore for the first time. This marks an important milestone for the marine sector to utilize more sustainable alternatives in their operations.

Espoo/Finland – Neste and KPI Oceanconnect, a global provider of marine energy solutions, collaborate on the supply of Neste My Renewable Diesel to the marine sector in Singapore in partnership with Global Energy for operational delivery in Singapore waters. This is the first time renewable diesel is supplied to the marine sector players to be used e.g. by cruise ships in Singapore.

Neste My Renewable Diesel is a solution for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in multiple sectors powered by diesel engines, such as in heavy transportation, mining and in construction. Made from 100 % renewable raw materials, Neste My Renewable Diesel is a direct replacement to fossil diesel, suitable for all diesel engines, and its use results in up to 90 % reduced GHG emissions over its life cycle compared to fossil diesel. Neste My Renewable Diesel has a similar chemical composition to fossil diesel, it is a drop-in solution that can be used in all diesel-powered vessels without the need for additional investment or modifications to engines or fuel distribution infrastructure.

“This first supply of Neste My Renewable Diesel to the marine sector in Asia-Pacific marks a significant milestone for the industry and demonstrates the versatility of the product across a wide range of applications where it can replace fossil diesel. It is an effective solution for enabling the marine sector to be more sustainable,” says Ee Pin Lee, Head of Commercial APAC, Renewable Products at Neste.

“We are proud to be industry first movers in sourcing and delivering renewable diesel for our clients, helping them reduce their carbon footprint and achieve their environmental goals. By working closely with Neste and Global Energy, we were able to offer a high-quality biofuel to our client, laying the groundwork for further fuel uptake and decarbonisation progress. This successful delivery is a testament to how partnerships can help advance the industry’s green transition,” says Jesper Sørensen, Head of Alternative Fuels and Carbon Markets at KPI Oceanconnect.

“Partnering with Neste and KPI Oceanconnect to supply renewable diesel to the marine sector in Singapore is an important step in helping our clients reduce their environmental impact. By providing seamless and reliable delivery of renewable diesel with a Maple barge, we are supporting the industry’s transition without compromising operational efficiency. We’re proud to play a role in driving these crucial efforts within the maritime sector,” says Chow Munee, Group Business Manager at Global Energy.

This collaboration sets an important precedent for the marine sector to utilize more sustainable alternatives in their operations.
