Biofuels: Europe. A study commissioned by BMW has found that European domestic feedstocks could cover between 38% and 55% of total EU road transport fuel demand with renewable alternatives by 2030, rising to between 67% and 107% by 2040 under a high-mobilization scenario. The research, conducted by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the German Biomass Research Centre (DBFZ) and Freyberger Engineering, argues that carbon neutral fuels (CNF) represent a viable and scalable complement to vehicle electrification in the EU.

Biojet/SAF: Canada. UK-based Octopus Energy Generation is planning to invest up to $6 billion in a sustainable aviation fuel facility in Canada, aiming to tap into rising demand in European markets. The facility will use forestry waste such as branches, bark and other residues to produce fuel. Around 750,000 tons of biomass will be processed annually using gasification technology. This will then be followed with additional green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy and water, to create methanol, which will then be converted into sustainable aviation fuel.

Biojet/SAF: Singapore. Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) confirmed that the green jet fuel levy on flights departing from Singapore will be postponed because of the impact of the Middle East war. Link 31/03/2026.

e-fuels: Spain. Turn2X has partnered with AGR Biogas to explore setting up new e-methane plants in Spain, aiming to use shared resources and cut costs. Turn2X will study the feasibility of building its plants alongside AGR Biogas facilities in Andalusia and Extremadura. The plan focuses on using carbon dioxide generated during biomethane production and integrating infrastructure. Link 31/03/2026.
