The production of renewable products began at the Rotterdam refinery in the Netherlands in 2011, marking a significant milestone in sustainability efforts. With Neste’s current capacity for renewable products standing at 1.4 million tons in Rotterdam, it currently holds the title for the largest such capacity in Europe. To further bolster its commitment to renewable energy, Neste is undertaking a substantial investment of approximately EUR 1.9 billion for the expansion of the Rotterdam refinery. This expansion project aims to increase overall renewable product capacity by 1.3 million tons per annum. Consequently, the total renewable product capacity in Rotterdam will soar to 2.7 million tons annually, with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production capability accounting for 1.2 million tons. The target timeline for starting up the new production unit is set for 2026.

ENAP, Chile’s state-owned integrated oil and gas company, has implemented Wet Gas Sulfuric Acid (WSA) and Sour Water Stripping (SWS) units at its Bío Bío Refinery in Hualpén as part of its environmental upgrade program. These facilities are designed to reduce sulfur emissions, treat sour process water, and support compliance with Chile’s stringent environmental regulations while improving the refinery’s overall environmental performance.
