  • SAF Specials

    HI Guys great podcast . I’m particularly interested in SAF specials as I am a producer. I’m looking to produce in SAF via the Alcohol to Jet pathway in Africa. Producing Ethanol and then SAF in Africa not only will have the emissions reductions but also huge social impact on the continent , yet there is very attention being on what could be a huge production zone for sustainable SAF and also marine fuels . Keep up the great work.

  • Great content

    Great topics. I like when you over the basics, sometimes it’s hard to follow when you jump right in to blending ratios, regulations, etc.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bringing home the bacon – Seaboard’s recipe for renewable success
Q: But what are some of the key challenges and opportunities you see right now for Seaboard Energy? Are you expanding into this renewable fuel portfolio?
The challenges mainly come from feedstock costs and the mix of incentives and mandates. We rely on policies like LCFS, RINs, and other credits to make the economics viable, while recognizing feedstock costs remain higher than crude oil. Opportunities arise from growing demand in markets with mandates for renewable fuels and from voluntary sustainability commitments that create demand for certified, low-carbon fuels.
