SAF price assessments

Piloted by market-reflective feedstock costs, including used cooking oil, tallow and soybean oil

Fastmarkets sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) prices launched for US market

With the aviation industry striving to reduce its environmental footprint, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) have become a crucial piece of the puzzle. Yet, navigating the SAF market can feel like flying through turbulence. The complexity of feedstock supply chains, fluctuating prices and intricate regulatory frameworks for blending create significant challenges in accessing trusted data and forecasting trends. In addition, incentives for tax credits, use of certificate schemes and targeted blend mandates vary from country to country, making it more difficult to predict profit margins. 

That’s where Fastmarkets comes in. We recognize that understanding both feedstock market dynamics and the wider energy transition landscape is essential for developing effective procurement strategies, managing risks and maximizing profits.
