The production of renewable diesel at Neste’s Singapore refinery expansion was restarted in early August 2023, according to the company’s plans. The production line at the expanded part of the refinery was shut down in June 2023 for unexpected equipment repairs.
The ramp-up of the production at the expanded part of the refinery is continuing and is planned to be completed by the end of the 2023. SAF production in Singapore is scheduled to start during the 3Q23 as stated in Neste’s half-year report in July 2023.
The Singapore refinery expansion doubles Neste’s production capacity in Singapore. With the growth projects in Singapore and Martinez, California, US, the company targets to increase its total nameplate capacity of renewable products to 5.5 million tons in early 2024.
Production at the expanded part of Neste’s Singapore refinery initially started in April 2023.
