The sustainability concerns surrounding the production of palm oil may provide a significant hurdle for its increased adoption. Despite being widely used in industries such as food, cosmetics, and biodiesel production, the impact of palm oil farming on ecosystems and communities has led to growing calls for more sustainable alternatives. As such, companies like Neste are looking to other feedstocks for their SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) plans, with the aim of reducing their environmental impact. In this context, Platts, a leading information provider for commodity markets, recently assessed the price of SAF based on PFAD (Palm Fatty Acid Distillate) at $1571 per metric ton.
