DHL Group and Neste have agreed to jointly evaluate how Neste’s renewable solutions such as renewable diesel, also known as “HVO100”, and sustainable aviation fuel can support DHL in its decarbonization targets in air and road transportation.

DHL Group aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emission logistics by 2050. Neste, as a leading producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, would support DHL Group in achieving these goals.

The parties will develop a commercial model that would gradually lead to the offtake of around 300,000 tons of neat, i.e. unblended SAF per year from Neste by DHL Group by 2030 and enable the sale and purchase of additional volumes of SAF. At the same time, DHL Group and Neste will work together to explore using renewable diesel to support DHL in achieving its decarbonization targets in road transportation.

“The signing of this agreement with Neste is a significant step in our strategy to achieve net-zero emission logistics by 2050. By closely collaborating with a leading producer of renewable fuels, we can further advance on our interim targets. Together with Neste, we will develop innovative solutions that support our own sustainability goals and eventually also those of our customers,” said Yin Zou, EVP Corporate Development DHL Group.

“We are looking forward to further strengthening our existing cooperation with DHL Group through a holistic, joint approach to tackling GHG emissions in transportation. This gives us a chance to support DHL as a frontrunner in its field with our renewable fuels, which provide a solution to reduce GHG emissions on the road as well as in the air,” says Carl Nyberg, Senior Vice President, Commercial, Renewable Products at Neste.
