Neste joins Europe-wide initiative to drive decarbonisation with renewable fuels


Neste, a global leader in renewable fuels, is proud to take part in the Tour d’Europe, a landmark initiative demonstrating the vital role renewable fuels play in the decarbonisation of road transport across Europe.

The Tour d’Europe is a collaborative campaign launched by stakeholders across the European automotive value chain. Spanning several European cities from March to June 2025, the initiative aims to spotlight renewable fuels as a readily available and highly effective solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in road transport.

By showcasing real-world journeys using renewable fuels, the Tour proves these fuels are already compatible with existing vehicle fleets and infrastructure. The campaign also advocates for a policy environment that embraces all proven technologies, reinforcing Europe’s leadership in sustainable mobility, protecting industrial jobs, and enhancing energy security.

The initiative will conclude with a final event in Brussels in June 2025, where stakeholders will call for a technology-inclusive approach to transport decarbonisation—an approach that values the contribution of renewable fuels alongside electrification and other innovations.

As the EU advances toward its 2050 climate neutrality goal, initiatives like Tour d’Europe highlight the critical role of renewable fuels in delivering immediate emissions reductions. These fuels provide a pathway to decarbonise existing fleets without requiring extensive infrastructure overhauls.

Importantly, the renewable fuel sector also supports the continuity of Europe’s automotive industry, which sustains approximately 13.8 million jobs. By adopting renewable fuels alongside emerging technologies, Europe can pursue climate targets while safeguarding its industrial base.

Neste’s Role in the Tour d’Europe

Neste is actively supporting the initiative by demonstrating how its Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ can reduce emissions today—without delay or the need for new infrastructure. As part of the Tour d’Europe, Neste showcases how its renewable fuel solutions are both practical and impactful, offering immediate benefits for climate, economy, and energy independence.

By joining this continent-spanning effort, Neste reinforces its commitment to accelerating the energy transition and advancing sustainable mobility. The company continues to advocate for a balanced, flexible, and inclusive approach to transport decarbonisation—one where renewable fuels play a central role alongside other green technologies.
