Frequently asked questions
Why do plastics producers want bio-naphtha?
It is a drop-in renewable feedstock: crackers run it like fossil naphtha while mass-balance accounting allocates the renewable carbon to chosen products — the fastest route to certified renewable-content plastics at scale.
How is bio-naphtha priced?
Usually against fossil naphtha benchmarks plus a renewable premium that reflects certificate value and buyer sustainability targets. Premiums vary widely by offtake structure — long-term frames versus spot.
Is bio-naphtha available as a spot product?
Spot parcels and recurring tranches both occur, since it is a continuous co-product. Producers with committed offtakes release surpluses; list yours and verified buyers respond.
What documentation is needed?
Sustainability certificates under mass balance (ISCC Plus/EU) plus standard quality analysis. Buyers for chemical use will also want consistency data across parcels.
