据路透社3月15日赫尔辛基报道，芬兰生物燃料生产商和炼油商纳斯特(Neste)周一表示，已选择荷兰鹿特丹港作为其下一个可再生产品精炼厂。
新工厂的规模将与该公司目前正在新加坡扩建的15亿欧元(17.9亿美元)炼油厂相当，该公司称这是迄今为止最大规模的投资。
该公司首席执行官彼得·瓦纳克（Peter Vanacker）对路透社表示，如果鹿特丹炼油厂如期完工，其投资成本、产能和制成品将与Neste在新加坡建造的炼油厂相当。
新加坡的扩张规模预计为15亿欧元(17.9亿美元)。
新加坡分公司生产用于道路和航空运输的可再生燃料，以及用于聚合物和化学品的可再生碳氢化合物，主要来自废弃食用油、食品行业的动物脂肪和植物油加工残留物等废物和残留物。
Neste表示，预计将在2021年底或2022年初做出最终投资决定。瓦纳克对路透社表示，公司正在密切关注温室气体排放的监管规定。
他表示:“这些都是大投资，所以必须能够大批量出售产品，例如出售给我们正参与讨论并制定计划的航空业。”
Neste表示，成本显著降低是鹿特丹取代芬兰波尔沃成为欧洲炼油厂选址的原因。
该一决定将令芬兰政府感到失望，芬兰政府拥有该公司44.2％的股份，并希望新的炼油厂能为芬兰带来就业和税收收入。

Finland's Neste plans $1.8 billion Rotterdam biofuel refinery
Finnish biofuel producer and oil refiner Neste has chosen the Dutch port of Rotterdam for its next renewable products refinery, it said on Monday.
The new plant will be around the same size as the 1.5 billion euro ($1.79 billion) refinery expansion it is currently building in Singapore, which the company described as its biggest investment so far.
The Rotterdam refinery, if it goes ahead, will be similar to one Neste is building in Singapore in terms of investment costs, production capacity and manufactured products, Chief Executive Peter Vanacker told Reuters.?
The Singapore expansion is estimated at 1.5 billion euros ($1.79 billion).
The Singapore unit produces renewable fuels for road and air transportation as well as renewable hydrocarbon for polymers and chemicals, mainly from waste and residues such as used cooking oil, animal fat from food industry and residues from vegetable oil processing.
Neste said it expects to make a final investment decision in late 2021 or early 2022. Vanacker told Reuters that the company is closely monitoring regulation on greenhouse gas emissions.
“These are big investments so you have to be able to sell large volumes for example to the aviation industry that is now being discussed and we’re participating in those discussions,” he said.
Significantly lower costs were the reason Rotterdam was chosen as the location for a European refinery over Finland’s Porvoo, Neste said.
The decision will come as a disappointment to the Finnish government which owns 44.2% of the company and had hoped the new refinery would bring jobs and tax income to Finland.
