Neste U.S. President on Global Energy Transition

The video discusses the impact of the Ukraine war on fuel prices and the transition to renewable energy. It highlights the role of renewable diesel, produced from waste, and addresses controversies around biofuels. The cost dynamics between sustainable and fossil fuels are analyzed, noting that sustainable options include carbon costs. The Ukraine war has accelerated demand for renewables, with Neste increasing production. The video explores sustainability goals, particularly in aviation, and the need for policies to support renewable energy and a circular economy.
