FUEL SECTORS
Fuel, from source to use.
Start with the operation. Then work back through product specification, availability, storage and delivery.
01 / AVIATION
Fuel decisions begin before departure.
Aviation fuel planning connects the aircraft, airport and supply network. Procurement teams need a clear view of approved fuel specifications, delivery arrangements and documentation before comparing commercial offers.
PRODUCT
Define the requirement
Record the approved fuel grade and aircraft requirements. Verify technical suitability through the operator and approved documentation.
Explore →INFRASTRUCTURE
Know the delivery point
Identify the airport, into-plane arrangements, operating windows and contingency options. A supply location is not a guarantee of availability.
Explore →TRANSITION
Assess SAF evidence
Separate physical fuel delivery from environmental-attribute programmes. Review chain of custody, pathway and applicable reporting rules.
Explore →02 / MARINE
The port is part of the product.
Marine procurement combines voyage requirements with bunker grade, port access, delivery method and documentation. Emerging fuels add questions about vessel readiness, safe handling and infrastructure.
SPECIFICATION
A defined fuel order
Document grade, quantity basis, quality requirements and delivery tolerance. Technical acceptance belongs with qualified vessel personnel.
Explore →LOGISTICS
A coordinated delivery
Consider berth or anchorage, delivery windows, supplier due diligence and contingency routing. Compare offers on the same unit and delivery basis.
Explore →FUTURE FUELS
A complete pathway
Assess methanol, ammonia or biofuel projects by production pathway, verified attributes and the ability to reach the vessel.
Explore →03 / LAND & INDUSTRY
Supply resilience is an operating decision.
Fleet depots, agriculture and industrial users combine demand forecasting with storage and delivery constraints. Evaluate product compatibility and local requirements before adopting a different fuel.
BUDGET
Compare the full cost
Use a consistent period, currency and volume unit. Add delivery charges before calculating the difference between two scenarios.
Explore →STORAGE
Plan for operating needs
Capture replenishment schedules and working inventory. Detailed tank sizing, fire safety and environmental requirements need specialist assessment.
Explore →CHOICE
Document the trade-offs
Compare fuel availability, OEM acceptance and verified sustainability documentation. Lower-carbon descriptions alone do not establish suitability.
