As part of a broad push towards reducing carbon emissions in the aviation sector, the newly elected Labour government is seeking to bolster the United Kingdom’s (UK) Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) industry, which builds on initiatives and policies...

Fossil fuel CI reduction requirements came into effect on July 1, 2023, but an early carbon credit creation mechanism operating June 2022 to June 2023 incentivized growth in ethanol use and blending in 2022 under Canada's CFR.

In 2023, the value of U.S. tall oil exports to Finland and Sweden rose to nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. This is mainly due to a surge of the price of tall oil as the demand as feedstock for the production of advanced biofuels is increasing while the availability is limited.

In 2023, consumption of bioethanol and biomass-based diesel (BBD) are estimated to have increased by respectively 4.5 percent to 6.58 billion liters and 0.6 percent to 17.98 billion liters. For bioethanol, the expansion is mainly due to gasoline fuel pool growth, while growth for BBD is entirely due to increased blending.

This report provides an overview of the biofuel use mandates in EU-27 member states, including temporary changes to alleviate inflationary pressure stemming from Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. It supplements the EU Biofuels Annual Report for 2024.

The 2023 U.S. Agricultural Export Yearbook provides a statistical summary of U.S. agricultural commodity exports to the world during the 2023 calendar year.

Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulation (CFR) became law on July 6, 2022. It aims to reduce the carbon intensity of liquid transportation fuels and has the potential to increase the use of low carbon-intensity diesel by an additional 2.2 billion liters and the use of ethanol by an additional 700 million liters by 2030 under the CFR, according to the federal government.

With the gradual lifting of the lockdowns, and recovering economies, consumption of bioethanol and biobased diesel (BBD) are estimated to have increased by respectively 6.1 percent and 0.6 percent in 2022.

This report provides an overview of the biofuel use mandates in EU-27 member states, including temporary changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. It supplements the EU Biofuels Annual Report for 2023.

The 2022 U.S. Agricultural Export Yearbook provides a statistical summary of U.S. agricultural commodity exports to the world during the 2022 calendar year.

Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulation (CFR), Quebec's new low-carbon fuel regulation, and E15 in Ontario (in 2030) are expected to drive up ethanol demand in Canada. The CFR became law on July 6, 2022 and is designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with transportation fuel.

With the lifting of the pandemic lockdowns during 2021 and 2022, EU consumption of both bioethanol and biodiesel is picking up. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to surges in prices of the transport fuel blends.
