Op-Ed: The rise of renewable diesel in maritime 

By Carrie Song, Vice President, Neste US

Ports are important for the U.S. economy, but it’s no secret that port-related emissions from fossil fuel use impact public health and the climate. As the world grapples with the effects of climate change, the marine industry must incorporate ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

After 2023 price declines, diesel focus turns to its relationship to crude oil

Just when oil and diesel prices seemed like they were going to be an endless headwind for the trucking and transportation industry, the oil sectors of a few countries rose to the rescue.

The end result: When the average retail price of diesel posted by the Department of Energy every week hit $4.633 per gallon on Sept. 18, few could have guessed that by the end of the year, that price would be almost 72 cents per gallon lower. For the full year, the price drop was about 61 cents per gallon.

Neste and PTL Marine partner to supply renewable diesel to California customers

The California marine industry is to get easier access to renewable diesel. This has become increasingly important since California’s Commercial Harbor Craft (CHC) regulation, established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), took effect on January 1, 2023. The regulation requires commercial harbor craft in the state to use renewable diesel (also known locally as R99 or R100) instead of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), to limit emissions such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides for...
