China's sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) exports surged by 70% in July 2026, with nearly all exports destined for Europe, particularly Belgium and the Netherlands. This reflects Europe's growing regulatory mandates for SAF under ReFuelEU Aviation, creating strong demand but also concentration risk and increasing importance of feedstock eligibility and certification for trade compliance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your sustainable aviation fuel business must focus on Europe’s evolving SAF regulations if relying on Chinese supply. Shifts in certification or feedstock rules there could abruptly reshape your market access and sourcing costs.
