HVO, SAF, bionaphtha & biopropane can replace fossil fuels without requiring engine modification, making them a key commodity in the road to decarbonisation for different sectors but Argus has found a strong correlation in pricing, supply & demand trends.

🇪🇺 Viewpoint: Higher #biofuels targets in some EU states should support 2023 #HVO spot prices, but an erosion of #diesel demand joins expectations of tight supply as an EU ban on Russian product bites, clouding the outlook | #ArgusBiofuels
