Advanced SAF technology in Teesside
The aviation industry is one of the vital arteries that keeps the global economy ticking, but as a major source of carbon emissions it comes at a significant cost to the planet. Current projections estimate that demand for air passenger journeys could exceed 16 billion by 2050, placing further strain on a sector which is facing constant scrutiny, so it is essential to...

A future with SAF and eSAF
Global air travel is projected to grow significantly, with passenger numbers expected to reach 22.2 billion by 2050, up from 9.1 billion in 2019. As air travel continues to increase, airlines are committing to net-zero emissions by 2050 to meet regulatory requirements, respond to consumer demand, and play a key role in global climate goals. Without urgent action to develop... [Read More]

The growing bioethanol market
ePURE members and other European producers of renewable ethanol produced 5.08 million tonnes (6.4 billion litres) of ethanol and 6.5 million tonnes of food and feed co-products, including high-protein animal feed – in other words, more food than fuel – in 2023, when these figures were last correlated by ePURE. All of the crops used were grown by European farmers.... [Read More]

Strong signs for North American bioethanol
Ethanol in North America is a highly policy-driven industry, both domestically and internationally — a fact evident from the benefits now flowing from E15-based expansion in selected US states, to a policy pathway for E10–E20 progression in Japan. At a time when the global market for ethanol — and much else — is volatile and uncertain, the industry has plenty... [Read More]

Biodiesel’s evolution in a changing renewable fuels market
HVO and SAF have led headlines in recent years, fostering a boom in renewable fuels reminiscent of the biodiesel boom of the early 2000s. In many ways, the biodiesel and ethanol industries paved a path for HVO, SAF and other next generation biofuels to find quick success. Governmental regulations, subsidies and incentives have provided a crucial driving force for biofuels... [Read More]

Combating biofuel fraud
Protecting the biodiesel industry from threats that come from outside the EU has become almost as important for the biofuels industry as advocating for better policies within the EU. Around 10 or 15 years was a time when the European Biodiesel Board (EBB) started to make use of EU trade defence instruments, to ensure that trade was not only free but also fair. The EBB...
