Neste’s Singapore Refinery Expansion Resumes Renewable Diesel Production After Repairs

(IN BRIEF) Neste has announced the resumption of renewable diesel production at its Singapore refinery expansion in early August, following an equipment-related shutdown in June. The company is working to ramp up production at the expanded facility, with plans to complete the process by the end of the year. Additionally, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in Singapore is set to commence in the third quarter, as previously communicated in Neste’s half-year report. The expansion of the Singapore refinery, completed in April 2023, will effectively double Neste’s production capacity in the region and contribute to its goal of increasing total nameplate capacity of renewable products to 5.5 million tons by early 2024.

(PRESS RELEASE) ESPOO, 16-Aug-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — The production of renewable diesel at Neste’s Singapore refinery expansion has been restarted in early August according to the company’s plans. The production line at the expanded part of the refinery was shut down in June for unexpected equipment repairs.

The ramp-up of the production at the expanded part of the refinery continues and is planned to be completed by the end of the year. SAF production in Singapore is scheduled to start during the third quarter as communicated in Neste’s half-year report in July.

The Singapore refinery expansion doubles Neste’s production capacity in Singapore. With the growth projects in Singapore and Martinez, the company targets to increase its total nameplate capacity of renewable products to 5.5 million tons in early 2024. The expansion of Neste’s Singapore refinery was completed and production at the expanded part of the refinery initially started in April 2023.
