Hong Kong-based biofuels producer EcoCeres has produced its first on-specification sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) volumes from its hydrotreated biofuels plant in Johor, Malaysia, said company sources and market participants.

The SAF was likely produced last week, they said. Its output is around a few hundred tonnes as the plant is still running at low rates, and will be exported, company sources said.

EcoCeres' Johor plant first came on stream last month. Once at full capacity, it will be able to produce a maximum of 420,000 t/year of SAF and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). The plant is expected to ramp up to full rates by the end of the year. The company is currently seeking more used cooking oil (UCO) from the region to support production, a trader said.

The Argus fob Singapore SAF netback price had risen to a more than 1½-year high of $2,753/t on 20 October. It was last higher at $2,764/t in January 2024. The increase came European SAF prices rose as fuel suppliers there stepped up efforts to meet the 2pc ReFuelEU aviation mandate after mid-2025, as the mandate is fulfilled on an annual basis. The Singapore SAF price edged down slightly to $2,728/t on 24 October.

EcoCeres also operates another 350,000 t/yr SAF and HVO plant in Jiangsu, China.
