MPOC republishes a 15 September report citing an MPOB circular: October’s crude palm-oil reference price is MYR 4,452.66 per metric tonne, compared with MYR 4,392.32 in September, while the export duty stays at 10%. This is a regulatory reference price and duty calculation, rather than a spot-market transaction price or a new increase in the tax rate.

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.

EASA reported that EU sustainable aviation fuel supply reached 1.1 million tonnes in 2025, exceeding the 2% ReFuelEU mandate. The agency noted that SAF production capacity is projected to meet the 2030 target, with 86% of supply produced domestically.

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.

Global e-Fuels reports a Shell, Fraunhofer IKTS and AVL programme integrating solid-oxide co-electrolysis with Fischer–Tropsch synthesis at Shell’s Amsterdam campus. The planned test combines a 24 kW electrolyser with existing pilot equipment. Shell’s 15 September announcement describes a research programme intended to improve efficiency and affordability; it does not announce a commissioned commercial e-SAF plant.

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.

Indonesia's Deputy Minister Yuliot outlined energy security strategies at the G20 Energy Abundance Ministerial Meeting in Houston. He highlighted targets for domestic oil production, the B50 biodiesel program, and renewable energy expansion to achieve Net Zero by 2060.

eFuel Today reports MB Energy and Metafuels’ cooperation on certification, blending, logistics and delivery of e-SAF to airports. The initial focus is the planned Turbe project in Rotterdam, targeting commercial operations in 2030. MB Energy is also considered a potential methanol supplier under a proposed arrangement. The partners announced collaboration on 10 September; neither the supply chain nor commercial fuel output is reported as complete.

INERATEC and Ramboll will expand the ERA ONE power-to-liquid plant in Frankfurt-Höchst, Germany, following completed pre-front-end engineering design. The next stage involves adding an upgrading unit to produce electro-sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) on-site, integrating CO2 and hydrogen conversion to reduce external dependence.

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.

Synhelion supplied renewable synthetic gasoline to the Bernina Gran Turismo race in the Swiss Alps from September 11–13, 2026. The company stated the fuel is drop-in compatible with existing combustion engines and reduces net CO2 emissions by up to 100% compared to fossil gasoline.

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.

Global e-Fuels reports that more than 20 organisations urged the European Commission to prevent hydrogen used in biofuel processing from counting towards dedicated synthetic-fuel targets. Their letter concerns HEFA/HVO hydrotreatment and ReFuelEU e-SAF obligations, seeking clarification during RFNBO delegated-act revisions. This is a policy intervention and interpretation dispute; the report does not establish that the contested accounting method has been approved.
