Surging diesel prices are squeezing biomass and pellet producers, putting new pressure on feedstock sourcing, transportation and already-narrow operating margins.
The U.K. Department for Transport on Sept. 17 released preliminary 2026 data regarding the country’s SAF mandate, reporting that 292 million liters (77.14 million gallons) SAF was supplied to the U.K. aviation market from Jan. 1 through Aug. 15.
U.S. manufacturers produced approximately 950,000 tons of densified biomass fuel in June, according to the U.S. EIA’s Monthly Densified Biomass Fuels Report. Sales of densified biomass fuel reached 960,000 tons during the month.
Green Fuel Forward, launched by GenZero and the World Economic Forum in May 2025 to scale demand for SAF, on Sept. 22 announced an expanded partnership structure and new members as it enters its next phase of market activation.
