Neste enables North Brunswick township to transition to renewable diesel

Neste has announced a partnership with the Township of North Brunswick in New Jersey.
The partnership enables all of North Brunswick’s diesel vehicles and equipment to switch to running on renewable diesel.
This partnership makes North Brunswick the first township in the state to use renewable diesel for its fleet operations.
“Renewable diesel can play an essential part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from municipal fleets,” said Carrie Song, senior vice-president, commercial, renewable products at Neste. “Our partnership with the Township of North Brunswick and fuel distributor KW Rastall Oil is a shining example of how lower-emission solutions like renewable diesel are helping municipalities with sustainability ambitions to reach their goals.”
The township’s initial trial of switching fossil diesel to renewable diesel was conducted in early May.
Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ was used during the trial in the township’s Department of Public Works (DPW) trucks.
Made from 100% renewable raw materials such as used cooking oil and animal fat waste, the use of Neste MY Renewable Diesel helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75% over its life cycle compared to fossil diesel.
Now North Brunswick’s entire fleet with diesel engines, including emergency medical services vehicles, fire trucks, public works vehicles, school buses, and backup generators are powered by Neste’s renewable diesel.
