Neste Oil’s renewable diesel used to generate elecricity at two events in Finland

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 21, 2014

Neste Oil’s NEXBTL renewable diesel was used to generate electricity at two major events in Finland this summer: the Flow Festival in Helsinki and the Neste Oil Rally Helsinki Battle street circuit race. NEXBTL diesel generated 45% of the electricity used at the Flow Festival and powered the machinery at the festival site.
