Trade SAF and SAF feedstock
ReFuelEU blending mandates have made SAF the structural growth market of the decade. Airlines, producers and traders all face the same bottleneck: verified, compliant feedstock and offtake. This is where producers, collectors and blenders meet — KYC-verified, anonymous until you deal.

What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)?
- SAF pathways include HEFA-SPK (lipids route, ASTM D7566 Annex 2), FT-SPK (syngas) and ATJ-SPK (alcohol-to-jet)
- HEFA feedstocks are the same waste lipids that drive HVO: UCO, tallow, acid oils, POME
- EU blending mandate rises stepwise from 2% (2025) with increasing targets towards 2030+; UK and other jurisdictions run parallel schemes
- Documentation intensity is high: sustainability proof, CORSIA where relevant, batch certification
Typical trading specifications
- HEFA-SPK standard: ASTM D7566 Annex 2; blend ratio up to 50% with conventional Jet A/A-1
- FT-SPK / ATJ-SPK: ASTM D7565/D7566 annexes as applicable
- Feedstock: waste/residue lipids per RED Annex IX for HEFA; biomass/alcohol routes for FT/ATJ
- Chain of custody: ISCC EU + ISCC CORSIA, batch-level tracking
- Offtake: typically long-term framework with spot tranches
Certifications
- ISCC CORSIA — evidence uploadable to your profile
- ISCC EU — evidence uploadable to your profile

Who trades it here
- Sellers: UCO/tallow/POME collectors and aggregators, Pre-treatment plants, SAF producers with spot volume, Alcohol suppliers (ATJ)
- Buyers: SAF producers, Airlines and airline alliances, Fuel suppliers into airports, Book-and-claim programs
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell my UCO or tallow directly into SAF production?
Yes — HEFA producers are among the most active buyers of waste lipids on the platform. Post your material with volume, spec and location; we introduce you to verified SAF-side buyers when there is mutual interest.
What makes SAF feedstock documentation different?
Beyond ISCC EU/REDcert, aviation chains usually require ISCC CORSIA coverage and batch-level traceability. Buyers will ask for complete collection evidence. Having your certificates on your profile speeds up every introduction.
How do the SAF mandates affect feedstock demand?
Rising mandated volumes pull enormous quantities of waste lipids into HEFA plants, competing directly with UCOME and HVO demand. For collectors and aggregators that means more counterparties and better competition for every parcel — exactly what the platform is built for.
Is SAF traded spot or on long-term contracts?
Both. Airlines and producers typically frame long-term offtakes, but spot tranches and feedstock parcels trade continuously around them. The platform is strongest on spot and short-term: post volumes and let verified parties bid.
