Why Your Processing Business Needs to Act Now
The aviation industry is facing unprecedented regulatory pressure. With mandates requiring 10% SAF usage by 2030 and airlines committing to net-zero emissions by 2050, the demand for sustainable aviation fuel is exploding. This creates a massive opportunity for oil processors who can supply high-quality canola oil feedstock.
⚡ First-Mover Advantage: Processors who enter the SAF market now are securing 10-year supply contracts at premium prices before competition intensifies.
