Coldplay is partnering up with Neste to take steps towards the band\u2019s target of reducing CO2 emissions from the Music Of The Spheres World Tour by 50% compared to the band\u2019s previous world tour. Neste will provide Coldplay with sustainable aviation fuel<\/a> (SAF) to help reduce emissions from air travels, while the company\u2019s renewable diesel<\/a> will help cut emissions from the band\u2019s tour transports and stage power generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, Coldplay pressed pause on their touring until it\ncould be done in a more sustainable way. To achieve its ambition for more\nsustainable touring, Coldplay has explored e.g., lower-emission alternatives to\npower aircraft, power generators and road vehicles necessary for a successful\nworld tour. Sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel proved the best\noption for these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the leading producer and supplier of sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel globally, Neste is uniquely positioned to supply Coldplay with the necessary volume of renewable fuels \u2013 produced from 100% renewable raw materials, such as used cooking oil \u2013 to reduce emissions from the North American and European legs of the Music Of The Spheres World Tour.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neste helps Coldplay work towards reducing touring-related\ncarbon emissions with Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel\u2122, which can reduce\ncarbon emissions on flights by up to 80% when compared to conventional jet fuel\nuse. Coldplay will also use Neste MY Renewable Diesel\u2122 for the trucks\ntransporting the band\u2019s equipment from one concert location to another during\nthe tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neste\u2019s renewable diesel will be additionally used in\nstationary power generators, creating renewable, low-emission electricity for\nthe concert. Coldplay will use Neste\u2019s renewable diesel on stage or in the\nlogistics in altogether seven Coldplay concerts in the US and in 22 concerts in\nEurope. It is estimated that with Neste-produced renewable diesel and SAF,\nColdplay will be able to reduce their tour transport related carbon footprint\nduring the North American and European legs of the tour by around 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’re really happy to partner with Neste to make our Music\nOf The Spheres World Tour as sustainable as possible. Their low-emission renewable\nfuels will play a major part in our efforts to minimize the tour\u2019s climate impact,\n\u201cColdplay says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve tried to put sustainability at the center of this\ntour because it just feels like the only option,\u201d says Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cColdplay is one of the world’s most popular touring bands,\nand their ambition to make their Music Of The Spheres World Tour as sustainable\nas possible is extremely inspiring. The world needs these kinds of changemakers\nto lead the way towards a more sustainable future, \u201csays Minna Aila, Senior\nVice President for Sustainability and Corporate Affairs and member of the Neste\nExecutive Committee at Neste. \u201cWe at Neste are excited and proud to join forces\nwith Coldplay to help reduce emissions from their world tour concerts and\ntour-related transports with our renewable fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewable fuels reducing transportation emissions globally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neste has been developing renewable solutions to tackle the\nrising climate emissions for over two decades. Over that time, Neste has been transforming\nfrom a regional oil refiner in Finland towards becoming the industry\u2019s first\nand only company with production facilities on three continents and capability\nto supply renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel and renewable feedstock\nfor the polymers and chemicals sector globally. Neste\u2019s proprietary NEXBTL\nrefining technology enables it to process low-quality waste and residues into\nrenewable products. The company\u2019s annual production capacity of 3.3 million\ntons (1.14 billion gallons) of high-quality renewable fuels and other renewable\nproducts will be increased to 4.5 million tons (1.56 billion gallons) in early\n2023, and it is expected to increase further to 5.5 million tons (1.9 billion\ngallons) by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile many solutions to combat climate change are still in\nearly stages of development, Neste\u2019s renewable fuels are already available and\nwidely used by cities and municipalities, companies, airlines, consumers \u2013 and\nnow even by Coldplay, one of the most popular bands in the world \u2013 to reduce\ntheir transport-related carbon footprint. We hope their example inspires many\nothers to start doing what they can to create a healthier planet for our\nchildren,\u201d concludes Minna Aila from Neste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
