Porvoo refinery

The goal of the Porvoo refinery is to be Europe’s most productive refinery and achieve best-in-class performance across all areas of operations, including safety. During 2009, the site focused on process development and employee safety, securing a high level of operational reliability and performance on diesel production line 4 and at the two NExBTL renewable diesel plants, as well as preparing for the site’s next major maintenance turnaround.

Neste Oil increased its NExBTL renewable diesel capacity in the summer with the commissioning of a second NExBTL plant at Porvoo. Like the first plant that came on stream there in summer 2007, this also has a capacity of 170,000 t/a. The two plants produced a combined total of 219,000 tons of renewable diesel in 2009.
