Chokepoint2025
Neste controls approximately 50–75% of global HEFA-SAF supply at 1.5 million tonnes/year capacity (April 2025), against an estimated global total of ~2 million tonnes/year. A single operational disruption at Singapore or Rotterdam — fire, maintenance outage, regulatory shutdown — would immediately collapse global SAF availability, disabling airline SAF compliance with EU ReFuelEU Aviation mandates and US IRA tax credit programs. The Singapore refinery had a production restart event in 2024. Additionally, active fraud investigations into Malaysian UCO and Indonesian POME suppliers (Indonesian police detained 11 suppliers in early 2025) threaten the feedstock provenance certifications on which Neste's EU RED compliance and US tax credit eligibility (EUR 153M in 2025) entirely depend.

Neste used to be a state oil refiner in Finland. It reinvented itself into the world's largest producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel — and the most surprising part is the feedstock: a large share of it is waste. Used cooking oil scraped from restaurant fryers, animal fat rendered from slaughterhouse byproducts, fish-processing waste and other low-grade lipids are hydrotreated into drop-in diesel and jet fuel. So the grease from a deep-fryer and tallow from a rendering plant end up flying aircraft and running truck fleets, routed through one Finnish company. Neste turned the waste-and-rendering industry into an energy feedstock supplier — a connection between the meat/restaurant waste stream and aviation that almost no traveler imagines.

Aviation's main near-term decarbonization lever is sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) — and SAF production today is concentrated in very few companies, led by Neste. Governments are mandating rising SAF blending (the EU's ReFuelEU Aviation, UK and other mandates), which converts SAF from optional to legally required, yet the production base capable of supplying it is thin. That makes a single Finnish producer a load-bearing node in global aviation climate policy: ambitious blending targets are written against a supply that, for now, only a handful of plants — disproportionately Neste's — can actually deliver. Policy demand has outrun the producer base.
