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]

New tide for marine propulsion
Biofuels are emerging as one of the most promising green alternatives to conventional marine fuels. Their production from renewable feedstocks significantly reduces lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions compared with fossil fuel alternatives, and many biofuels are “drop-in” compatible. Stringent regulations like the European Union’s FuelEU Maritime directive are... [Read More]

Fleet footed with HVO
While electric vehicles (EVs) and those powered by hydrogen and liquefied natural gas (LNG) dominate long-term strategy, many fleet operators are making carbon savings with a fuel that works today. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is now in use across postal, logistics and public transport fleets in Europe, delivering up to 90% CO₂ reductions without replacing engines... [Read More]

Facing the challenges in North America
This has been a challenging year for the US biodiesel industry with domestic production running about 70% down on 2024 levels, albeit with some upsides for producers to celebrate concerning the sector’s longer-term future. Tax changes and policy uncertainties are seen by industry leaders as making life difficult for producers, especially small ones, particularly due... [Read More]

Ethanol evolution
Global biofuel demand is expected to surge, with the IEA projecting a 23% increase by 2028. Renewable diesel and ethanol are expected to account for two-thirds of this growth with new regulations such as FuelEU stimulating uptake. However, the domestic outlook for US ethanol appears more uncertain due to the acceleration of electric vehicle (EV) adoption — despite... [Read More]

Rolling out biofuel mandates
Over the past five years, several Asian countries have introduced or strengthened biofuel mandates as part of their strategies to enhance energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support agricultural economies. These policies have varied in scope and ambition, reflecting each nation's unique economic, environmental, and geopolitical contexts. Vietnam is... [Read More]

Feedstock potential in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia accounts for nearly 8% of global jet fuel demand and thus plays a crucial role in contributing to the global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply, which is essential for achieving global aviation decarbonisation goals. Influenced by international policy frameworks such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction... [Read More]

Getting SAF off the ground
Stephen Land, North-West Europe Lead, Exolum, explains why aviation is facing one of the greatest challenges in its history: its decarbonisation. Against this backdrop, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is emerging as the most immediate and viable solution for reducing the sector's net emissions. But while the focus is often on SAF production, its take-off requires logistics... [Read More]

Future developments in the biofuels sphere
Biofuels play a key role in reducing greenhouse emissions by providing an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), modern bioenergy is the largest renewable energy source globally, accounting for 55% of renewable energy and over 6% of the global energy supply. The EIA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario... [Read More]
