Fastmarkets launches European sustainable aviation fuel price assessments

Fastmarkets launches four sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) cost-based price assessments on Friday June 27.

The assessments will reflect the cost of production of a tonne of sustainable aviation fuel in the Netherlands, utilizing hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA) technology with used cooking oil as its feedstock.

SAF price inputs include Fastmarkets’ AG-UCO-0011 Used cooking oil, ISCC, ddp Northwest Europe, €/tonne, hydrogen Netherland steam methane reforming estimate and fixed costs.

SAF by-products, hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO/renewable diesel), bio-naphtha and bio-propane are reflected in the cost of production prices.The assessments will reflect the cost of production at a SAF maximizing refinery, an HVO maximizing SAF refinery, as well as a breakeven price for production and blending, taking into consideration Dutch HBE-IXB credits, excluding margins.
