As the world seeks an alternative to fossil fuels, biofuels are increasingly seen as a possible solution. The biofuel sector keeps on growing, and so do the opportunities for market participants, including biofuel producers, investors and feedstock suppliers. As production is dictated by blending mandates that vary from country to country and are, therefore, subject to frequent regulatory changes and updates, it is becoming more challenging to understand and predict pricing trends.
For those trading in the biofuels and feedstocks market, we capture pricing across the complex marketplace, including biodiesel, glycerin, renewable identification numbers (RINs), California’s Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits and related certificate markets in Europe.
For renewable diesel and SAF procurers, we provide granular expertise of feedstock markets and pricing, equipping them with a strong position during contract negotiation. Fastmarkets Agriculture‘s comprehensive feedstock prices include UCO (US Gulf), Bleachable Fancy Tallow (Chicago), RBD Soybean Oil and many others currently used by the industry as benchmarks for contract negotiations. Using our price data, you can secure favorable terms with feedstock suppliers.
