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.

What have been the main feedstock price drivers and what scenario has been set for 2026? Our data analysis with interactive charts explores the latest trading trends.
European SAF production costs rose in the week to May 15 as used cooking oil prices climbed to €1,117 per tonne, feedstock spreads diverged sharply across rapeseed and palm oil, and firming poultry meal prices signalled that competition for Europe’s finite pool of waste-based materials is tightening across fuel and food supply chains simultaneously.
Policy developments in Washington and Beijing over the week ended Friday May 15 are beginning to shift expectations for global biofuel feedstock flows, with potential downstream implications for US used cooking oil (UCO) and animal fats markets.
This decision was first proposed in a methodology note published on April 24. Used cooking oil (UCO) is a waste-based feedstock collected from food service operations and food processing facilities after cooking. It is widely used in the production of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), making it one of the most […]

Following the recent Fastmarkets North America Biofuels & Feedstock Conference, our analysts examine how biomass-based diesel growth in 2026 is being shaped by a more demanding market reality defined by policy complexity, feedstock constraints, certification requirements, and co-product economics.
