About Argus Biofuels Forum

 

Location: Raffles Hotel Singapore (Level 3 - Jubilee Ballroom)

Date: Tuesday, 9 September 2025

Time: 12.30PM Registration/Networking Lunch, 14.00 Forum

 

Asia is emerging as the new epicenter of global biofuels growth. With Indonesia’s B40 blending targets, Malaysia’s evolving palm oil sustainability efforts, and India, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and Australia advancing renewable fuel strategies, the region is reshaping global feedstock markets and trade flows. Yet, challenges persist: trade barriers, antidumping duties, freight constraints, and fragmented certification systems complicate market access. China’s shifting export focus adds further competition in SAF, UCO, and bio-naphtha markets.

 

Join us to explore how Asia is reshaping the global landscape for biofuels, feedstocks, and renewable fuels—while gaining exclusive insights into the latest price trends and market intelligence from Argus.
