OTC Flow supports airlines and aviation stakeholders in reducing emissions and meeting sustainability targets through access to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and SAF credits (SAFc). We help businesses develop procurement strategies for sustainable fuels, ensuring compliance while enhancing environmental leadership.
With the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) expected to become mandatory in 2027, airlines must prepare for evolving regulations. Sourcing SAF or CORSIA-eligible credits early can provide a competitive advantage and secure long-term compliance.
OTC Flow provides shipowners and operators with tailored biofuel solutions that meet their targets, helping reduce emissions and avoid penalties. We facilitate access to sustainable fuel blends, which ensure compliance while generating surplus credits for future use. Additionally, we offer market insights to optimize fuel procurement strategies, making compliance both seamless and cost-efficient.
With FuelEU Maritime taking effect in 2025, shipowners must meet strict greenhouse gas intensity limits for fuels or face penalties. Compliance can be managed through sustainable fuel adoption, surplus credit pooling, or borrowing mechanisms, making strategic fuel choices essential for cost-effective operations.
OTC Flow helps companies in the road transportation sector reduce emissions and meet sustainability goals by navigating complex regulatory frameworks and renewable fuel credit markets. We support businesses in sourcing or selling renewable fuel credits, optimizing procurement strategies, and ensuring compliance with evolving legislation. Our expertise ensures that clients stay ahead of policy changes, maximizing opportunities in the renewable fuel landscape.
With increasing regulatory pressure and sustainability demands, leveraging renewable fuel credits is essential for compliance and cost efficiency. Whether through procurement, credit monetization, or facility certification, we help businesses create value while advancing decarbonization efforts.
OTC Flow is a leading provider of sustainable biofuel feedstock solutions in Europe, offering a diverse range of high-quality materials to support biofuel production across various sectors. The feedstocks in our portfolio are all sourced and processed to meet stringent sustainability standards. Our expertise in sourcing, certification, and regulation ensures a reliable and efficient supply chain, supporting the transition to low-carbon energy solutions.
Companies collect raw materials, also known as feedstocks, which are used in the production of biofuels. These feedstocks are essential for creating renewable fuel sources that support sustainability goals and energy needs.
Infrastructures are the facilities where feedstocks are processed and transformed into biofuels, which are fuels produced entirely from renewable and sustainable sources to meet environmental targets.
Fossil fuel wholesale operators that purchase biofuels to comply with the sustainability targets. Obliged actors having surpassed their target obtain tickets, which they can market to other operators.
The term feedstock refers to the primary sources, the main ones being agricultural crops and wastes/residues, from which a given biofuel is produced. Not all feedstocks result in the same amount of GHG (Greenhouse gas) emissions in the biofuels production process. THE RED II deploys a system of sub-targets and multipliers to promote the use of specific feedstocks.
Description: Biofuels produced from these feedstocks are the most widely used in Europe. However, they count only once toward compliance, and some are subject to restrictions.
Category: Agricultural crops.
Examples: Soybean oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil.
Description: Biofuels produced from these feedstocks count twice toward sustainability targets, but their contribution is capped at 1.7% of transport energy consumption.
Category: Wastes and residues.
Examples: Used cooking oil (UCO) and animal fats (Categories 1 and 2).
Description: Biofuels from these feedstocks are essential to meet the mandatory share of advanced biofuels in the market and count twice with no usage limit.
Category: Advanced wastes and residues.
Examples: Palm oil mill effluent (POME), tall oil and food waste.
OTC Flow can assist in sourcing the ready-to-use biofuel. Such product is obtained after transforming and processing feedstocks, which occurs within biofuel plants. Chemicals properties of biofuel end products generally impose them to be mixed with petroleum fuels (blending) before utilization in motor engines.
Biofuel tickets play a key role in renewable fuel compliance, issued to petroleum product wholesalers who integrate biofuels into the transport sector. Our services go beyond brokering these tickets—we provide tailored guidance to help your organization align with evolving regulatory demands, streamline compliance, and maximize efficiency.
Leveraging deep industry knowledge, we monitor market dynamics, certification standards, and low-carbon fuel initiatives, ensuring you stay ahead in sourcing and utilizing biofuel tickets effectively. With our support, you can confidently navigate the complexities of biotickets to meet your sustainability goals.
