EcoCeres urges open trade to support SAF growth
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that biofuel producer EcoCeres has warned that possible trade defense measures on imported sustainable aviation fuel could hurt the European Union’s climate goals, reduce fair competition, and further strain limited supplies.
The company said policy and trade rules should support steady growth in supply, open trade, and continued innovation rather than restrict them.
EcoCeres noted that SAF supply remains limited and that prices are still higher than those of conventional jet fuel. It cautioned that any trade measures limiting international SAF imports or increasing costs through tariffs could slow adoption, even though blending targets are legally binding.
“If we are serious about meeting climate targets, we cannot afford to close the door on competitive SAF supply,” said Matti Lievonen, Chief Executive Officer of EcoCeres.
