UPM BioVerno diesel — a genuine fuel choice for the future

Renewable UPM BioVerno diesel is an advanced biofuel and a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. It suits all diesel engines - and fits seamlessly into existing distribution systems.

 
As UPM BioVerno is an advanced biofuel, its production does not compete with the production of food when it comes to land-use or raw materials. Unlike first generation biofuels, UPM BioVerno has no blending limit and distributors are able to use it at 100%.

The UPM BioVerno diesel is manufactured out of crude tall oil, a residue of pulp production. The production of UPM BioVerno diesel does not cause additional felling of trees.

Using wood-based UPM BioVerno diesel significantly reduces road traffic tailpipe emissions compared to conventional fossil diesel. It significantly reduces both carbon dioxide emissions and local air pollution from traffic. According to studies tailpipe emissions such as particle mass, hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by up to 10% compared to conventional diesel fuel.

Tests show similar or improved engine efficiency, without compromising engine power, when compared to fossil diesel. As a result of high energy content and density of UPM BioVerno renewable diesel the fuel consumption stays the same or is improved compared to conventional diesel.
