What SAF is
SAF refers to non-conventional aviation fuel made through approved production pathways. Neat SAF that meets an ASTM D7566 annex is generally blended into finished jet fuel before commercial use.
Oil Hub is building sourcing relationships around renewable jet fuel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), including new refinery production coming online and buyers seeking qualified, specification-driven supply.
SAF refers to non-conventional aviation fuel made through approved production pathways. Neat SAF that meets an ASTM D7566 annex is generally blended into finished jet fuel before commercial use.
As new plants and refinery conversions enter production, buyers need reliable visibility into available volumes, specifications, location and timing. Oil Hub is positioned to help connect those barrels with qualified demand.
Commercial SAF can be produced from feedstocks such as fats, oils and greases, alcohols, biomass-derived syngas and other approved renewable inputs, depending on the pathway and certification.
Commercial value depends on more than gallons. Specification, pathway, blend limits, sustainability attributes, chain-of-custody records, delivery point and regulatory treatment all affect the transaction.
Specific blending limits and qualification depend on the pathway and the applicable fuel specification.
Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids converts fats, oils and greases into synthetic paraffinic kerosene. It is one of the most established commercial SAF pathways.
Alcohol feedstocks are converted into jet-range hydrocarbons through approved processing routes, creating another pathway for renewable aviation fuel production.
Carbon-containing feedstocks can be converted to synthesis gas and then into liquid hydrocarbons suitable for aviation-fuel production under approved pathways.
Complete requirements make it easier to evaluate whether available refinery production is commercially relevant.
IATA notes that neat SAF is synthesized hydrocarbon meeting an applicable ASTM D7566 annex before it is used as a blending component for finished jet fuel. ICAO continues to publish guidance supporting SAF deployment, while commercial supply grows through additional production pathways and capacity.
Important: Oil Hub does not represent that every renewable aviation fuel is interchangeable or eligible for the same incentives. Buyers and sellers should confirm specification, pathway, blend limits, sustainability certification and regulatory treatment for each transaction.
