    SABA members commit to SAF certificates supporting Infinium Project Atlas

    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.

    GAPKI: CPO production sufficient for B50, but productivity key to exports

    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.

    Infinium introduces methane-derived mSAF alongside its CO2-based eSAF platform

    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.

    UFOP reports Germany’s first-half HVO imports rising while biodiesel sales stay near prior-year levels

    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 tests a multi-parameter approach to used cooking oil screening

    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.

    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.
