✈️ China redirects used cooking oil exports to Europe due to US tariffs

China has recently faced 125% tariffs imposed by the US on exports of used cooking oil (UCO), a key input for SAF production. As a result, Chinese exporters are redirecting their shipments to Europe and emerging markets in Asia, such as South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and India. Europe is expected to absorb more than half of China’s UCO exports, driven by the new requirement to use 2% SAF on flights from 2025. ​
