SUSTEO is a renewable diesel fuel, which uses mainly used cooking oil and microalgae Euglena<\/em>. It can be used without changing the specifications of the engines currently installed on the vehicles. SUSTEO emits CO2<\/sub> at the combustion stage, but both the Euglena<\/em> and the plants that provide raw material for the cooking oil absorb CO2<\/sub> by photosynthesis in the growth process, so it can help achieve a carbon neutral state\u2014essentially net zero CO2<\/sub> emissions at the time it is used.<\/p>\n

The MOL Logistics Group, along with Euglena Co., will further promote eco-friendly green logistics and contribute to the sustainable growth of society by using SUSTEO on HMT-owned\/operated trucks.<\/p>\n
