Neste supports Tara Ocean Foundation's Arctic science mission

Neste is providing support for the Tara Ocean Foundation's inaugural 18-month scientific expedition to the Central Arctic Ocean. The foundation is dedicated to ocean conservation.

The Tara Polar Station, serving as the foundation's drifting laboratory and observatory, will undertake its first long-duration voyage at sea from 2026 to 2027. This expedition is part of a broader 20-year program conducted in collaboration with 30 renowned research institutions.

The expedition aims to continue monitoring climate change and researching its impact on ocean ecosystems. Neste's contribution includes supplying fuel for the expedition's operational needs, ensuring the mobile research station can maintain its activities.

This initiative underscores the critical role of oceanographic research in understanding climate dynamics. The Tara Ocean Foundation has a history of extensive research voyages aimed at assessing the health of the world's oceans. The new Arctic mission expands the scope of their investigations.
