Neste has expanded its capability to supply renewable fuels to customers on the West Coast of the United States in cooperation with Vopak. Neste commissioned terminal capacity at Vopak’s Los Angeles terminal for storing sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel.
This is a step in further expanding the availability of Neste’s renewable fuels in the Southern California region, enabling greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the transportation sector and supporting the energy transition on the West Coast of the U.S.
The Vopak Los Angeles Terminal is strategically located in the Port of Los Angeles and is well-connected to fuel logistics via vessels, barges, trucks and pipelines.
“Neste is fully committed to supporting the energy transition in the U.S. as well as globally by working closely together with partners to increase the availability of our renewable fuels. Our cooperation with Vopak shows how repurposing existing fuel distribution infrastructure can accelerate the much needed transition to renewable energy,” says Annika Tibbe, acting President for Neste US.
Neste has been supplying renewable fuels to California since 2016 after the state adopted its Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). According to data from the California Air Resources Board, as of the first quarter of 2023, 49% of California’s diesel pool is renewable diesel.
