Coprocessing and refinery integration present a rapid and lower cost opportunity for SAF production
SAF production is not taking place at a fast enough pace to meet climate commitments. While hundreds of announcements for new facilities have been made, only about only 31% of announced SAF production capacity out to 2030 has reached at least a final investment decision. A co-processing strategy to make SAF in existing petroleum refineries can offer a near-term solution...
Is SAF the Ticket Out of the Fossil Fuel ‘Strait’jacket?
Rising jet fuel prices and geopolitical disruption are exposing aviation’s dependence on fragile fossil fuel supply chains. Read on to learn more about how domestic SAF production, stronger policy support and investment in advanced feedstocks and eFuels can help protect airlines from future volatility.
European SAF market faces oversupply through 2029, analyst warns
European SAF producers could face margin pressure through 2029 as new capacity outpaces mandate-driven demand. With imported supply growing and Neste’s Rotterdam expansion alone set to meet much of EU demand, Barclays warns oversupply may weigh on prices and producer economics.

Europe’s Race to Build the Net-Zero Supply Chain: SAF pathways, eFuels, and hydrogen convergence
As mandates drive demand, Europe must scale advanced biofuels, eFuels, hydrogen, carbon infrastructure and certification systems together. This article explores how policy alignment, cross-sector collaboration and investment will determine whether Europe can build a credible net-zero fuels supply chain.
Women in SAF: Building a community to shape the future of sustainable aviation
We're delighted to announce the launch of Women in SAF as a space for connection, mentorship, and collective action. In this first SAF Spotlight feature, we explore what the group hopes to achieve both for women in the industry, and the industry itself.
From Concept to Commissioning: How to get SAF projects over the line
In this 60 minute webinar, our panel of experts from SkyNRG, INERATEC, White & Case, Zaffra, ERM, and Future Energy Global, discussed what makes SAF projects financeable, technology readiness vs. speed to market, policy incentives and location decisions and execution, risk and scaling beyond FOAK.
The SAFTAs: Why now, and what the judges want to see
Ahead of the judging phase of the inaugural SAFTAs, we asked our expert judges a simple set of questions: what’s exciting them most in the sector right now, why these awards matter at this moment, and what “credible progress” looks like.
EV Constraints Are Accelerating the eFuel Transition: New Study Maps eFuel Potential
The EU could be entirely free of fossil fuels by 2046 - replaced by renewable alternatives. That is a central finding of a new study by the eFuel Alliance and Porsche Consulting, which assesses the potential of eFuels across the European transport sector. Read on to learn more...
Unlocking capital – learning from a high-flying industry
A perennial challenge in the SAF world is the mismatch between project developers looking for long-term revenue certainty and offtakers not wanting to commit beyond the short term. There’s discussion about how policymakers can bring certainty via revenue certainty mechanisms and double-sided auctions, but there is also plenty to learn from other industries. Read on to learn more...
Scaling Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Aviation Decarbonisation in Latin America
This 60 minute webinar covered the developments in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and the wider Latin American region. Our expert panel discussed prospects for SAF scale up in Latin America; analysis of the most exciting feedstock opportunities; upcoming active and potential SAF mandates; positioning Latin America as a global SAF supply hub.
Opportunities for Sustainable Aviation Fuels in Brazil
This report, by SAF LATAM silver sponsor AFRY, maps why Brazil could become a post-2030 SAF powerhouse: rising aviation demand, looming global supply gaps, and Brazil’s unique feedstock and renewable power advantages. It compares HEFA, ATJ, BtL and PtL pathways, outlines policy signals from 2027, and highlights real projects, costs, and actions to unlock investment now.
LATAM’s Green Gold Rush: Unlocking feedstocks, finance, and policy for regional SAF leadership
If sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the bridge to aviation’s net-zero future, feedstocks are the pavement. Latin America is in a particularly exciting position to provide, with mature biofuel industries, strong agricultural supply chains, and the land, climate, and technical capability to diversify into multiple SAF pathways. Read on to learn more...
Platts European SAF Weekly Commentary
European SAF prices have risen amid Middle East conflict-driven supply pressures, but conventional jet fuel has surged faster, narrowing SAF’s premium. With freight costs climbing and Europe increasingly reliant on imported SAF, the article explores how geopolitical volatility is reshaping fuel economics, trade flows, and near-term market dynamics.
How MENA can lead on CORSIA: collaboration before compliance
Achieving net zero will require unprecedented collaboration across the industry. Airlines, aircraft manufacturers, fuel producers, carbon market developers, financiers, regulators and governments each hold a piece of the jigsaw puzzle. None can solve it independently. In the Middle East, this collaborative mindset is already well established
Against this backdrop, CORSIA provides a concrete lens through which we can clearly see that collaboration is no longer optional, but essential to managing both emissions and risk.
Effects of Changing Policy on U.S. SAF Economics
Historically, policy support for biofuels in the United States has come in the form of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), however, passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) in 2025 resulted in decidedly mixed outcomes for biofuels growth in the near future. Read on to learn how SAF is still supported, and what comes next...
Expert Insights with Frank Wouters, Chairman, MENA Hydrogen Alliance
Ahead of the SAF MENA Congress, Frank Wouters highlights MENA’s strategic advantage as a global hub for SAF and PtL fuels, driven by transport demand, low-cost renewables and proximity to Europe. Read on to learn about the essentials to unlock hydrogen scale-up, cross-border trade and clean aviation corridors across the wider region.
