The downward trend in palm oil imports into the EU‑27 continues, as confirmed by the EU Commission's import figures.
The decline is due to the exclusion of biofuels derived from palm oil from being credited towards national quota obligations. At the same time, imports of waste oils and fats for use in transport fuel production are on the rise.
According to the EU Commission, the European…

Domestic production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to meet 30% of New Zealand's jet fuel needs by 2050 could generate $1.3 billion (€0.64 billion) in Gross Value Added (GVA) and create 5,700 jobs, while also strengthening fuel security, according to a Cyan Ventures study supported by Boeing.
“The opportunity to secure New Zealand’s long-term aviation fuel supply, boost economic growth…

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 or infrastructure.
HVO…
