General Index sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production cost indexes reflect drop-in aviation fuel blending component material derived from lipid feedstocks such as plant or algae oils, tallow, or waste greases, and which meets the ASTM D7566 technical certification standard.
Prices are calculated using production cost-based models, incorporating actual renewable and energy feedstocks supplied to the HEFA-SPK (Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids-Synthesized Paraffinic Kerosene) pathway.
The cost of hydroprocessing is based on proprietary General Index hydrogen prices.
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.
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).
Technical details can be found in the relevant factsheets.
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" (65% SAF) and assumes a facility in Rotterdam with 2.7mn MT/annum total renewable product capacity.
