Roman Dawidowicz - US Government’s SAF Tax Credit

Image
The recent guidelines announced by the Biden administration for its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) subsidy program highlight a strong focus on environmentally conscious practices to determine eligibility, particularly for corn-based ethanol and soy-based biodiesel. SAF producers could benefit from a tax credit ranging from $1.25 to $1.75 per gallon based on reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The updated framework acknowledges emission reductions from various sources like carbon capture, renewable natural gas, and renewable power, recognizing the essential role of climate-friendly agricultural methods in reducing emissions. However, challenges persist, including significant penalties for land use changes and bundling requirements for ethanol feedstock approval. In recent days, there has been a notable decrease in market activity for soybean oil due to strikes in Argentina supporting soybean meal prices but putting pressure on soybean oil prices. Additionally, concerns about impend...

  Eni is accelerating its transition to sustainable energy by divesting stakes in biofuel and bioplastic units by the end of 2024. Discussions are ongoing to sell up to 10% of Enilive, valued at over €10 billion, and up to 30% of Novamont, valued at around €1 billion. According to  Roman Zenon Dawidowicz ,  this move is in line with Eni’s €50 billion strategy, which seeks to attract specialized investors for eco-friendly ventures while maintaining its oil and gas operations. Enilive anticipates core earnings of €1.2 billion by 2025. Additionally, Eni is considering an IPO or spin-off of Enilive, subject to market conditions and corporate requirements, further underscoring its dedication to sustainable energy initiatives. Neste, a frontrunner in renewable diesel and aviation fuel, has successfully completed its inaugural processing trial with pyrolysis oil derived from discarded tires, a notoriously challenging raw material.

Recent Palm, Soybean, Rapeseed, and Sunflower Oil Markets

It’s evident that China is adjusting its sourcing dynamics, favouring Brazil over the US due to favourable pricing trends. Let’s look at the summary of the main veg oil markets over the past month. Palm Oil: Discussions within the market reveal a consensus regarding the price ceiling for BMD, estimated at MYR 4000–4100 per metric ton. Presently, the BMD price stands at approximately MYR 4073 per metric ton. Insight suggests a forthcoming recovery in production come May, as is customary. However, the current spread of palm oil over its competitors, alongside the anticipated surge in Argentina’s soybean oil exports, may exert downward pressure on palm oil prices. Nevertheless, most players emphasize the potential for geopolitical escalations in the Middle East and a plausible hike in energy prices, which could introduce an upside risk. Consequently, I think I would maintain a cautiously neutral stance, albeit slightly leaning towards bearishness regarding BMD palm oil. This is a viewpoin...
