Biofuels: Ethanol, Biodiesel & Feedstocks
Fuel ethanol, FAME, HVO, SAF, DCO and UCO with the certification chain checked before the price
CBIL is a commodity brokerage company and brokers renewable fuels and their feedstocks for fuel blenders, refiners, biodiesel, HVO and SAF plants: anhydrous fuel ethanol, denatured and undenatured; FAME biodiesel as RME, SME, PME and UCOME; HVO renewable diesel and HEFA-SPK sustainable aviation fuel; distillers corn oil (DCO) technical lipid coproduct from corn ethanol dry mills; and used cooking oil. The 2024 export declarations put HS 3826 biodiesel at 15.50 million MT, led by the Netherlands, Germany and Spain, and HS 2207 ethyl alcohol at 13.53 million MT, led by the USA, Brazil and the Netherlands. In this trade the documents are part of the product: an ISCC EU or equivalent proof of sustainability with the GHG saving, a certificate chain through every seller, the EU customs status and a check of trade remedies, including EU anti-dumping duties on biodiesel and HVO from China under Regulation (EU) 2025/261. We work each enquiry against SGS or Intertek certification on FOB, CFR and CIF terms, priced as a differential to Argus, Platts or OPIS assessments, and because CBIL also runs a chartering desk (LaycanDesk) that works product and chemical tankers, the freight leg is quoted with the cargo.
Excluded origins are not offered, including product re-exported, blended or re-processed through a third country. Every lot moves with a certificate of origin naming the producing plant, mine or grower country, and nothing is quoted before the seller and loading point are known.

Biofuels: Ethanol, Biodiesel & Feedstocks — buyer questions
What sustainability certification is mandatory for biofuel trade into the EU?
Under the European Union Renewable Energy Directive (RED II / RED III), imported biofuels (FAME, HVO, bio-ethanol) must carry an official Proof of Sustainability (PoS) issued under an approved voluntary scheme such as ISCC EU or 2BSvs, verifying feedstock traceability and greenhouse gas (GHG) savings exceeding statutory thresholds.
What feedstocks are traded for renewable diesel and SAF production?
CBIL brokers ISCC-certified used cooking oil (UCO) with free fatty acid (FFA) under 5% and low contaminants, distillers corn oil (DCO) from grain ethanol dry mills, and animal tallow for hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) refineries.
How does CBIL ensure compliance with biofuel trade remedies?
Trade remedies, such as EU anti-dumping duties on biodiesel and HVO from China under Regulation (EU) 2025/261, are verified prior to deal structure. Certificate chains and customs classifications (HS 3826.00 and HS 2207) are confirmed with the importer's customs broker before contracts are signed.
