Common questions about the platform, the SAF market, and how to get involved.
About the platform
e-fuels·com is a market infrastructure platform connecting SAF producers, offtake buyers, and capital. We're building four modules: Market Intelligence (price indices, project data), SAF Trading (spot, forward, book-and-claim), Deal Room (structured offtake and finance), and Network Intelligence. Currently in private beta, onboarding founding network members.
The platform serves the full SAF value chain: producers at every development stage, offtake buyers (airlines, shipping companies), capital providers (infrastructure funds, DFIs), and technology and service providers. If you operate anywhere in the sustainable fuels market, there's a place here.
Market Intelligence launches Q2 2026 for registered network members. The Deal Room enters beta Q2 2026. SAF Trading goes live in 2026. Early registration gives you access to each module as it launches, at permanent founder pricing.
We charge subscription fees for Market Intelligence access, transaction fees on deals closed through the Deal Room, and trading fees on the exchange. We don't sell participant data, take positions, or accept advertising. Our neutrality is commercially essential — the platform only works if every side of the market trusts it.
For producers
No. The producer registry covers every development stage — from feasibility through to operating assets. Earlier-stage projects are often the most valuable for the network, as they're the ones that need offtake and capital connections most urgently.
A member of our team reviews your submission personally and responds within 48 hours. We'll confirm your registration, discuss your project's needs, and map you to relevant buyers and capital sources. You get access to pre-launch Market Intelligence data immediately after onboarding.
Yes. You control exactly what information is shared and with whom. Detailed project data is only shared through the Deal Room under mutual NDA — never without your explicit consent. We don't aggregate or resell participant data.
The first 100 network members registered are locked in at a permanently discounted rate for every future subscription tier. This rate never increases regardless of what public pricing becomes. No minimum commitment period.
SAF & market
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a drop-in fuel for jet engines produced from non-petroleum sources including waste feedstocks, agricultural residues, green hydrogen, and captured CO₂. Chemically compatible with existing aircraft and infrastructure, SAF reduces lifecycle CO₂ by 50–90% compared to conventional jet fuel depending on pathway and feedstock.
HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) is currently dominant, using waste oils and fats. AtJ (Alcohol-to-Jet) converts alcohols into jet fuel. FT (Fischer-Tropsch) converts syngas from biomass into hydrocarbons. PtL (Power-to-Liquid) uses green hydrogen and captured CO₂ — highly scalable due to independence from biogenic feedstocks. PBtL (Plasma-Boudouard to Liquid) is an emerging pathway using plasma technology to convert CO₂ into synthesis gas for fuel production.
ReFuelEU Aviation is the EU regulation mandating SAF blending at EU airports — starting at 2% in 2025, rising to 70% by 2050. It applies to all fuel suppliers at EU airports and all airlines departing EU airports. The mandate creates a legally guaranteed demand floor underpinning long-term offtake contracts.
Book-and-claim allows the sustainability attributes of SAF to be separated from the physical fuel and traded as certificates. A buyer can claim the CO₂ benefit of SAF produced elsewhere — eliminating complex physical delivery requirements and enabling a global market to function at scale.
Access & pricing
Pricing is not yet publicly listed — the platform is in private beta. Founding network members are locked in at a preferential rate that will never increase. Once the platform launches publicly, pricing will be published by tier.
Basic network membership including a public listing in the producer registry will be available at no charge. Market Intelligence, Deal Room access, and trading are subscription or transaction-fee based.
