The shipping industry’s target of net-zero carbon emissions has boosted demand for biofuels, which are compatible with existing ship engines and therefore can be adopted relatively easily. However, Rystad Energy analysis shows that the capacity to produce biofuels—such as biodiesel and bio-liquefied natural gas (bio-LNG)—is not keeping up. Unconstrained biodiesel demand exceeds total supply and […]

The Trump administration unveiled a proposal to significantly raise the volume of biofuels that oil refiners must blend into the US fuel supply over the next two years. The move is largely driven by a sharp increase in biomass-based diesel mandates and includes provisions aimed at curbing biofuel imports. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed […]

The European Union has offered to subsidise airline purchases of more than 200 million litres of sustainable aviation fuels to encourage carriers to swap kerosene for cleaner alternatives, Reuters calculations show. The calculations, based on European Commission data, suggest that the subsidies could trigger a significant boost to airline demand for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), […]
