The HVO Market in Germany: Volumes, Prices, and Regulations

Live
Monday, 23 November 2026, 14:00 GMT 1 hour inc Live Q&A

The German HVO market is at an inflection point. Regulatory requirements, emissions targets and feedstock availability are reshaping fuel economics in Germany, and HVO sits at the centre of this transformation — creating new opportunities, and new risks, for market participants.

Join Argus experts for this complimentary webinar and live Q&A as they explore current volume trends, analyse price movements, and explain how the GHG quota system influences both the pricing and wider economics of HVO100.

This webinar will provide you with a clear, methodology-based view of how HVO100 and FOB ARA prices are formed, how the German GHG quota (THG-Quote) shapes economics, and what to expect from supply and demand over the months ahead.

Agenda:

  • Regulatory and economic drivers of HVO in Germany
  • HVO supply / demand dynamics and outlook
  • Price formation and trends: FOB ARA & German HVO100 markets
  • The relationship between GHG quota prices and HVO prices
