Sustainable aviation fuels
Overview
As more global carbon reduction mandates come online, airlines will look to fulfil their environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) requirements with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
With any possible electrification option decades away, SAF is the only solution at this time for airlines to fly more sustainably. It is key that airlines and those in the aviation industry have visibility into the value of the fuel and its feedstocks.
Argus SAF price assessments provide that visibility. Our methodology, using real market transactions and bids/offers, results in prices that accurately reflect the specific supply/demand dynamics of this low carbon renewable fuel.
