MPA Singapore Chief Ang Wee Keong addressed the 10th Clean Marine Fuel Forum on 22 September 2026, highlighting regulatory fragmentation and the gap between clean fuel ambition and commercial deployment. He emphasized the need for a coherent global framework to support long-term investments in the maritime sector's transition to net-zero emissions by 2050.

SABA members including AVEVA, Bain, Google and McKinsey committed to multi-year SAF certificate purchases associated with Infinium’s planned Project Atlas. The Texas facility is expected to produce approximately 100,000 tonnes of SAF annually, with American Airlines as physical fuel offtaker. The book-and-claim commitments support financing and progression toward final investment decision; certificate buyers do not necessarily receive the fuel themselves, and the announcement is not evidence that Atlas is operating.
Why it matters:Shows how corporate book-and-claim demand supports a planned SAF project before final investment decision.

French President Macron urged the EU to ease biofuel blending limits to address fuel prices and supply tensions. The European Biodiesel Board stated that raising the diesel bio component from B7 to B10 would reduce fossil diesel by 3% and accelerate decarbonisation.

GAPKI states Indonesia's CPO production is sufficient for the B50 mandate, though full implementation in 2027 is projected to significantly reduce exports, especially with El Niño impacts. The association emphasizes that increasing productivity through replanting, rather than land expansion, is essential for sustainability.

Velocys announced AlphaCore 800, a microchannel Fischer-Tropsch reactor designed to produce up to 800 barrels per day, approximately 30,000 tonnes per year, of FT liquids per reactor. The company positions it for SAF and e-fuel projects targeting at least 100,000 tonnes per year, describing design capacity rather than reporting a newly operating fuel plant.

Infinium introduced an mSAF pathway combining its Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology with electrically heated methane reforming. Eligible feedstocks include renewable natural gas, biogas, flare gas and other qualified methane streams. The company states that lifecycle carbon intensity must be calculated and independently certified for each project, depending on source, leakage, energy and chain of custody. The mSAF label does not establish one universal emissions reduction or that every listed methane source is renewable.

Infinium introduced its mSAF platform, converting methane streams into sustainable aviation fuel to complement its eSAF business. The company states the platform uses proprietary Reform technology to improve yield and carbon performance, with carbon intensity certified per project.

OMV Petrom says foundations are complete and major columns and reactors have been installed for its EUR 560 million Petrobrazi SAF/HVO unit. The planned 250,000 t/year facility will process vegetable fats and used cooking oils with green hydrogen, with commissioning estimated for 2028. Separate 55 MW electrolyzer modules have also been delivered. Construction progress is established; the announced fuel capacity remains planned.
Why it matters:Tracks physical construction progress on a disclosed European SAF and HVO capacity project.

Ubrabio reports that Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy opened Public Consultation 232/2026 on RenovaBio emissions-reduction targets for 2027–2036, with submissions due on 29 October. The proposal described by the association would reduce fuel-matrix carbon intensity by 12.1% by 2036 versus 2018. These are consultation proposals, not adopted final targets.

The American Soybean Association sent a letter to President Trump ahead of his meeting with President Xi, urging China to fulfill its soybean purchase commitments and address trade barriers. ASA supports a U.S.-China Board of Trade for soybeans and calls for eliminating China's 10% retaliatory duty on U.S. soybeans.

The European Commission reports that EASA's annual ReFuelEU review recorded 1.1 million tonnes of SAF supplied at EU airports in 2025, representing 2.8% of aviation fuel supplied and exceeding the 2% minimum. The Commission also says about 50 synthetic aviation fuel projects were awaiting final investment decisions. Those planned projects are separate from operational capacity.
Why it matters:A public regulatory implementation report covering actual reported supply and the separate synthetic-fuel project pipeline.

GAPKI supports the planned BMKS launch on 1 January 2027 but lists seven governance prerequisites, including independence, traceability, and cost efficiency. The association warns that high export burdens, totaling approximately US$ 297/ton, threaten Indonesia's competitiveness compared to Malaysia's US$ 121/ton, urging AI simulations to model market impacts.

Cosmo Oil, SAFFAIRE SKY ENERGY, Maruzen Petrochemical and Ube Maruzen Polyethylene announced the use of used-cooking-oil-derived naphtha produced alongside SAF at Sakai. The naphtha supports chemical and polyethylene production, with ISCC PLUS mass-balance allocation. Supply volumes and measured emissions reductions are not disclosed.

Neste and United Airlines extended their SAF supply agreements for Chicago O’Hare and Amsterdam Schiphol, covering fuel blended with conventional jet fuel. Neste says Amsterdam deliveries under the extended contract ran from June through August 2026, while Chicago deliveries started in July 2026 and are planned to continue through June 2027; the release does not disclose contracted volumes.

Citing BAFA data, UFOP reports that imported HVO rose from 68,500 tonnes to 337,100 tonnes in the first half of 2026, while biodiesel sales were 1.062 million tonnes versus 1.085 million tonnes a year earlier. The association argues that the DIN EN 590 maximum 7% blending limit constrains biodiesel use and advocates 30% biodiesel blends in closed heavy-duty fleets and 100% biodiesel. Those proposals are advocacy, not newly granted approvals for all vehicles.
Why it matters:Provides German market data that distinguishes HVO imports from biodiesel sales.

ISCC's working group studied 18 used cooking oil samples from five regions through nine laboratories. It found comparable laboratory results but substantial variation in the materials, and did not establish universal authenticity thresholds. Its preliminary screening approach remains a research outcome and has not been embedded in certification processes.
Why it matters:Useful evidence for UCO integrity work. The research does not create a new certification requirement or prove a sample's authenticity.

INERATEC and Ramboll are working on front-end engineering design for an upgrading unit at the ERA ONE power-to-liquids plant in Frankfurt-Höchst. The proposed addition would integrate hydroisomerization, hydrocracking and distillation to convert Fischer-Tropsch crude into usable synthetic aviation fuel on site. Pre-FEED is complete, but the upgrading expansion is still in engineering; the announcement does not establish that the new unit is commissioned.

Sasol and White Desert announced an agreement under which Sasol’s first commercial SAF volumes will support White Desert’s Cape Town-to-Antarctica expeditions. Sasol links the arrangement to Natref’s recent ISCC+ certification and says the fuel is made from sustainable bio-feedstocks. No fuel quantity, delivery timetable or contract value is disclosed.
Why it matters:Adds an announced African commercial SAF supply chain, without converting a supply announcement into confirmed delivery.

Indonesia’s energy ministry reported that B50 had reached 6,050 of 6,412 fuel stations by mid-September, with 76 of 104 delivery terminals supplying it and 28 still transitioning from B40. The ministry describes tighter water-content and oxidation-stability requirements and planned monitoring of vehicles up to 100,000 kilometres. These are the 15 September report’s status and planned tests, not proof that every terminal has since completed transition.
Why it matters:Provides official rollout and terminal-transition figures plus concrete technical implementation work.

American and Wisconsin soybean associations welcomed CHS’s proposed approximately USD 700 million processing facility near Evansville, Wisconsin. The plant targets capacity of 80 million bushels annually, producing approximately 1 billion pounds of soybean oil and 2 million tons of soybean meal, with completion targeted for fall 2028. The release identifies food, feed and renewable fuel markets for the oil; it does not allocate all oil to fuel or establish sustainability certification.
