Partnerships
Waste and Residue Suppliers
Neste sources waste and residue feedstocks via a global supplier network, scaling used cooking oil, animal fats and industrial side streams to secure inputs for its renewable diesel and SAF; by 2025 feedstock purchases rose to ~3.4 million tonnes, supporting 2.8 Mtpa refining capacity.
Aviation and Airline Alliances
Collaborations with major global airlines and airport hubs secure long-term SAF off-take contracts—Neste reported SAF supply agreements covering ~700 million liters through 2025, giving predictable demand and revenue visibility for capital planning.
By integrating SAF into airport fueling systems at key hubs, Neste expanded access to international carriers; as of 2024 SAF deliveries reached ~250 million liters, helping partners progress toward ICAO CORSIA and EU ReFuelEU targets.
Polymer and Chemical Manufacturers
Neste partners with leading chemical firms like BASF and Dow to supply renewable feedstock for sustainable plastics and chemicals, supporting >300 kilotonnes/year of bio-based input capacity as of 2025 and replacing fossil inputs across existing processes.
These alliances accelerate the circular economy by shifting value into high-margin materials: Neste reported 2024 sales from renewable polymers & chemicals initiatives exceeding EUR 250 million, expanding market reach beyond transport fuels.
Logistics and Distribution Partners
Neste partners with maritime shippers and land logistics firms to move feedstock and finished products; in 2024 Neste shipped ~3.4 million tonnes of product and sourced waste and residue oils from 30+ countries to feed global sites.
These partners deliver renewable diesel and SAF to Europe, North America and Asia, cutting transit losses and ensuring regulatory compliance; logistics reduce lead times to key markets and support Neste’s 2024 EBITDA of EUR 2.1 billion by safeguarding supply chains.
- 3.4 million tonnes shipped (2024)
- Feedstock from 30+ countries
- Key markets: Europe, North America, Asia
- 2024 EBITDA link: EUR 2.1 billion
Research and Academic Institutions
Research partnerships with universities and institutes accelerate Neste’s scale-up of algae, lignocellulosic and power-to-X (PtX) routes; Neste reported in 2025 over 20 active collaborations and co-funded external R&D with roughly EUR 45 million committed since 2021 to pilot these feedstocks.
These ties help Neste keep its tech lead and diversify renewables, aiming to integrate >10% cellulosic/algae feedstock and pilot 100 MW PtX capacity by 2030.
- 20+ active collaborations (2025)
- EUR 45m external R&D spend since 2021

Activities
Advanced Feedstock Sourcing and Pretreatment
Neste sources and pretreats 3.2 million tonnes of waste and residue feedstocks globally (2024), converting low-grade streams into high-quality renewable inputs via proprietary pretreatment plants that cut impurity levels below industry thresholds and lift usable yield by ~18% per tonne. This capability underpins Neste’s 2024 renewable product output of 3.3 million tonnes and reduces lifecycle GHG emissions by up to 80% versus fossil fuels, a core competitive edge.
Renewable Product Refining and Production
Neste uses its proprietary NEXBTL technology to convert waste and vegetable oils into high-performance fuels and chemicals, operating major refineries in Singapore, Rotterdam and Porvoo; in 2025 installed renewable-product capacity reached about 4.5 million tonnes/year to meet rising demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel and renewable diesel.
Research and Development for Circularity
Neste invests ~EUR 100m annually in R&D (2024 figure) to scale circular feedstocks and conversion tech, focusing on chemical recycling of plastics and synthetic fuels via carbon capture and utilization (CCU). These efforts target hard-to-decarbonize sectors — aviation, shipping, and heavy industry — and supported Neste's 2024 announcement of a pilot CCU plant aiming for 100 ktonnes CO2/year capacity by 2027.
Regulatory Compliance and Policy Advocacy
Neste navigates global environmental rules and carbon markets, engaging policymakers to push higher renewable mandates; in 2024 Neste reported 5.5 Mt of renewable product sales and lobbied for stricter EU RED III thresholds that boost demand and margins.
Compliance with ISCC and RSB certifications across regions preserves premium pricing—certified feedstock sales fetched ~€12–15/tonne uplift in 2024, protecting marketability.
- 5.5 Mt renewable sales in 2024
- Advocated EU RED III stricter thresholds
- ISCC/RSB certification = €12–15/tonne premium
Global Supply Chain Optimization
Neste manages sourcing from over 60 countries and ships to 100+ markets, using AI-driven analytics to cut logistics costs and working capital; logistics and feedstock accounted for ~28% of 2024 operating costs, so optimizing routes and inventory boosted margin resilience against commodity swings.
