    Three European countries plan a joint e-SAF support auction

    Global e-Fuels reports on Germany, Austria and Luxembourg’s joint double-sided auction mechanism for e-SAF. Germany’s 21 September announcement pledges up to EUR 2 billion, with Austria and Luxembourg offering up to EUR 60 million each, to bridge producer and buyer prices. The official announcement makes support conditional on European Commission state-aid approval; the figures are commitments, not disbursed funds.

    Haltermann Carless and INERATEC sign LOI for planned Normandy renewable fuels project

    Haltermann Carless and INERATEC signed a letter of intent for a power-and-biomass-to-liquids project in Normandy. Haltermann intends to buy bio-e-SAF and bio-e-naphtha for a minimum 10-year period after start-up. Commissioning is planned for 2029; from 2031 the project targets approximately 60,000 tonnes of wood residues annually and at least 13,000 tonnes of Fischer-Tropsch products. These are planned capacity and purchasing intentions, not operating output or a final investment decision.

    UFOP reports disappointing oilseed harvest but rapeseed prices near 500 EUR/tonne

    UFOP’s annual meeting described Germany’s oilseed harvest as uneven and disappointing, with harvest-time rapeseed producer prices rising to 500 EUR/tonne and partly offsetting weaker yields. The association links dependable yields and prices to domestic biofuel feedstock availability and calls for broader biodiesel use. This is an association’s market assessment and advocacy, not a certified fuel-feedstock transaction or a newly enacted blending rule.

    Shell and partners develop a 24 kW co-electrolysis pilot for e-SAF

    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.

    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.

    MB Energy and Metafuels plan an integrated European e-SAF supply chain

    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 advance FEED for ERA ONE e-SAF upgrading

    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.

    Arcadia eFuels and MB Energy sign a supply-chain cooperation memorandum

    Global e-Fuels reports an Arcadia eFuels and MB Energy memorandum covering potential e-SAF offtake and distribution, with enport contributing storage opportunities. The partners aim to connect production with certification, blending and airport delivery. The announcement sets out commercial and operational cooperation; it does not disclose binding fuel volumes or demonstrate that a complete supply chain is already delivering commercial e-SAF.
