01 / MARKET OUTLOOK
Liquid biofuels in a changing transport mix.
198 → 251billion litres per year · 2025 to 2031
The IEA’s Renewables 2026 main case projects this increase in liquid biofuel demand. Road transport accounts for most of the projected growth, with aviation and shipping also contributing.
Planning relevance: track product-specific availability and supply routes, rather than treating all transport fuels as one market.
Scope: this is a global forecast with policy, demand and feedstock assumptions. It is not local supply availability, a price forecast or a procurement recommendation.

02 / SUPPLY INFRASTRUCTURE
New fuels need a route to the customer.
MB Energy, Fertiglobe and Covestro announced a memorandum to explore an ammonia supply chain through a proposed Hamburg import terminal.
Our interpretation: fuel-transition planning should connect production, terminal access, onward logistics and demand. A terminal proposal does not establish commercially available supply.
Status: an exploratory MoU covering technical, commercial and logistical evaluation; no claim here that the terminal is operating.

03 / DIGITAL WORKFLOWS
A useful interface starts with the operating question.
World Fuel describes existing aviation tools spanning fuel activity, flight planning and account information. Bunker Holding has also announced changes to strengthen its digital sales organisation.
Our interpretation: a public research and planning site could help visitors organise requirements before entering a supplier’s established systems. These companies already have substantial digital capabilities.
