Production cost indexes incorporate market-value renewables feedstocks pricing, as well as energy feedstocks supplied to the HEFA-SPK (Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids-Synthesized Paraffinic Kerosene) pathway, as part of a bespoke pricing model developed in conjunction with senior biofuels industry executives. Scenarios modelled include Max SAF, 50:50 SAF/HVO, Max HVO.
Indicative values offer SAF price trends guidance based on associated markets, for example, using the GX market-accepted price assessments for fossil jet fuel.
Spot prices incorporate the traded activity - bids, offers and deals - from the nearest SAF marketplace.
Our SAF benchmarks will benefit the following groups of market participants:
Users of our SAF price data can compare production costs regionally. The SAF assessments allow market participants to observe how variations in facility size (based on actual projects announced) and adjustments to meet competing SAF/HVO customer demand impact price.
Launching soon: Asia SAF & HVO; USA SAF & Renewable Diesel; Cost models for Alcohol-to-Jet and other technology pathways.
The data is published daily (subject to the General Index holiday calendar) and made available to its subscribers via direct data feeds and emails to its customers.
All prices are in USD/MT and normalised via internal calculations to reflect market vale at close (1630 London).

These indexes reflect a minimum cost price for sustainable aviation fuel produced in North West Europe via the HEFA pathway. The refinery scenario modelled is "Max Jet". Total renewable product yield is 89% (65% SAF, 14% Bio-Naphtha, 5% HVO, 5% Bio-LPG). It assumes a facility in Rotterdam with 2.7mn MT/annum total renewable product capacity.

These indexes reflect a minimum cost price for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced in North West Europe via the HEFA pathway. The refinery scenario modelled is "50:50". Total renewable product yield is 90% (40% SAF, 40% HVO, 5% Bio-Naphtha, and 5% Bio-LPG). It assumes a facility in Rotterdam with 2.7 mn MT/annum total renewable product capacity.
