    UK fuel association criticises the refusal to levy duties on US HVO

    Biofuels International reports RTFA’s criticism of the UK decision not to impose countervailing duties on US HVO. The TRA’s original 10 September determination confirms that imports were subsidised and caused injury, but that no anti-subsidy duties will apply. RTFA argues this threatens domestic biodiesel investment; that investment outlook is the association’s assessment, rather than a demonstrated plant closure.

    FedEx expands contracted SAF procurement across five US airports

    Biofuels International reports FedEx agreements expected to secure more than 20 million gallons of neat SAF across five US airports through 2027. Deliveries are projected at 30%–50% blending ratios, depending on location. The volumes describe contracted future neat-fuel procurement, not fuel already delivered, and should not be confused with the larger final blended-fuel volume.

    UFOP reports Germany’s first-half HVO imports rising while biodiesel sales stay near prior-year levels

    Citing BAFA data, UFOP reports that imported HVO rose from 68,500 tonnes to 337,100 tonnes in the first half of 2026, while biodiesel sales were 1.062 million tonnes versus 1.085 million tonnes a year earlier. The association argues that the DIN EN 590 maximum 7% blending limit constrains biodiesel use and advocates 30% biodiesel blends in closed heavy-duty fleets and 100% biodiesel. Those proposals are advocacy, not newly granted approvals for all vehicles.

    Why it matters:Provides German market data that distinguishes HVO imports from biodiesel sales.
