on 100% NExBTL diesels cetan value is between 70-90 but it has less energy density.

You will get the benefits og higher cetan if your car has learning ECU otherwise there will not come much gains.
...similar results occur with octane in gasoline engines--*if* the injectors are too small, the ECU might not be able to "adjust" the fuel injection pulse width enough to utilize the higher octane of E85 fuels, etc.
