Get in touchThe story of transportation fuels
As strict environmental regulations disrupt the market, one thing is certain. Tomorrow's transportation sector will look very different from today's.
In the middle of this change, we're building on our history of transportation fuels benchmarks to bring clarity and transparency to what's coming next. As we engage with market participants, we're focusing on the future energy strategies and trade flows that are already starting to emerge.

Fuel Ethanol
Exponential growth in ethanol consumption is driven by energy security, the need to address climate change issues and achieve lower gas emissions, and a push to create and sustain new jobs in agriculture and biotechnology.
We publish several fuel ethanol price benchmarks tailored to specific markets in the US, Brazil, Europe and Asia. These price references are used by the industry to manage risk in this growing market and along the entire transport fuels chain.

Renewable distillate assessments: Renewable Diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel
As the demand for sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel grows, we were first to launch daily values of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), which is a biomass-derived transportation fuel suitable for use in diesel engines.
SAF and HVO assessments reflect the cost of the renewable distillate, based on the yields of a refinery. The European prices use Used Cooking Oil as the feedstock, the USA published prices use tallow or animal fat as the feedstock, while the Asia HVO and SAF prices use palm fatty acid distillates (PFAD).
