The prospects for drop-in fuels advanced materially today with big news from Aether and Comstock. In Singapore, Singapore Airlines signed a MoU to procure neat SAF for five years with an option for a five-year extension from Aether Fuels, when Aether plants begin commercial production, Aether will use waste carbon feedstock to produce the fuel, […]
This presentation from the ABLC Connect series on Digest TV analyzes the US liquid fuels market, focusing on prices, supply, and demand of various biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel. It examines the impact of clean fuel standards and government policies, such as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and California’s Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulations, on […]

The presentation from NEXANT ECA’s Steve Slome examines four main pathways for producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF): Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ), Gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (G-FT), and Power-to-Liquid (PTL). Each method’s advantages, disadvantages, and potential for scaling are discussed, highlighting feedstock availability and carbon intensity as crucial factors. The report analyzes the relative supply […]
By The Ocean Park Advisors team Special to The Digest In a biofuels sector grappling with policy uncertainty and a new federal administration, there were promising capital investments and above average ethanol M&A volume, driven by export growth and profitable carbon capture and sequestration (CCS).
