Sustainable aviation fuels
Overview
Airlines, aviation fuel suppliers and corporate customers are increasingly turning to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to meet carbon reduction targets as well as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments.
SAF policies are advancing at different speeds across the world: Europe leads with binding mandates, Asia-Pacific is gradually introducing SAF targets, while the U.S. is incentivising production growth through tax credits.
For airlines, SAF producers and stakeholders across the aviation value chain, transparency into SAF pricing and feedstock dynamics is essential.
With HEFA SAF prices in Europe, Asia and the Americas as well as e-SAF production costs in Europe, Argus leads the way in providing this market transparency.
By delivering trusted, independent pricing data, Argus empowers market participants to make informed decisions, manage risk, and support the transition to more sustainable aviation.
HEFA SAF
Built on a robust methodology grounded in real market activity – including verified trades, bids and offers, our global suite of SAF price assessments reflect the supply and demand fundamentals of this renewable fuel around the world.
As the EU and UK are driving global SAF consumption, Argus’ well established HEFA SPK SAF prices in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) hub are central for global values.
These prices, assessed using a robust methodology grounded in real market activity, are underpinned by growing liquidity on the Argus Open Markets (AOM) platform and provide true visibility on real market values for this commodity.
e-SAF
Argus also provides crucial visibility into synthetic aviation fuels with mass-balanced modelled production costs. Despite the sector still being in early development stages, e-SAF is baked into European policy. Argus prices, based on the cost of renewable hydrogen produced with electricity supplied under power purchase agreements (PPAs) and the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process, are critical for investment and strategic planning for the development of the e-SAF industry.
