Neste renewable gasoline to assist Outokumpu’s Kemi mine work in the direction of reaching practically a 3rd of its carbon neutrality goal.
Neste and Outokumpu deepen their cooperation to scale back greenhouse fuel emissions. Outokumpu will change the fossil fuels utilized by its Kemi mine and Tornio metal mill and the contractors on these websites with Neste MY Renewable Diesel™. Outokumpu manufactures the world’s lowest-emission stainless-steel. Its objective is to realize carbon neutrality at its Kemi mine by 2025.
Renewable gasoline equipped by Neste permits the Kemi mine and the Tornio mill to scale back the greenhouse fuel emissions generated by their fleet and heavy equipment by 90% on common*. With using renewable gasoline equipped by Neste, the Kemi mine’s annual greenhouse fuel emissions will lower by practically 11,300 tons. This may imply reaching nearly 30% of the entire carbon neutrality goal for the Kemi mine.
The three key elements contributing to reaching carbon neutrality at Outokumpu’s Kemi mine are abandoning fossil fuels (together with contractors’ fleet), utilizing low-emission electrical energy, and changing pure fuel and propane with different heating strategies. Renewable gasoline equipped by Neste will change fossil fuels in heavy equipment, trains, secondary energy sources, and transportation between the Kemi mine and the Tornio mill.
