The International Air Transport Association highlighted Brazil’s opportunity to become a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) powerhouse as its 82nd Annual General Meeting gathered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Compliance credits for biomass-based diesel and ethanol have doubled in value since the start of this year. The credits, known as RINs, have increased in price, mostly because of higher U.S. biofuel blending targets.
The U.S. EIA maintained its 2026 and 2027 production forecasts for renewable diesel in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, released June 9. The production outlooks for “other biofuels,” defined to include SAF, were also maintained.
The International Air Transport Association on June 6 announced its analysis shows global SAF production is expected to reach approximately 2.4 million metric tons (792.6 million gallons) this year, accounting for 0.8% of total aviation fuel use.
Syzygy Plasmonics on June 9 announced that it has entered into a capacity reservation agreement with World Fuel Services for future sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production from Syzygy's planned NovaSAF facilities.
