开源证券：生物柴油供需持续偏紧 坚定看好产业景气上行趋势

Core Viewpoint - The report from Kaiyuan Securities indicates that the demand for biodiesel is expected to increase due to the EU's enhanced carbon reduction targets and the upcoming verification of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) blending ratios by the end of the year, leading to a tightening supply-demand situation in the SAF market [2][3]. Price and Profitability - As of November 19, the FOB prices for SAF in the EU and China are $2,500 and $2,960 per ton, respectively, representing increases of 39% and 60% compared to early 2025. The profit margin for SAF in China exceeds 4,000 RMB per ton [1][2]. Regulatory Changes - The EU will gradually implement the Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III) starting in 2026, which raises carbon reduction targets and eliminates the double carbon reduction policy for biodiesel produced from used cooking oil (UCO). This is expected to significantly boost the demand for biodiesel and UCO [2][4]. Supply Chain Dynamics - Neste plans to conduct maintenance on its Rotterdam and Singapore SAF production facilities in late 2025, which may further tighten the supply of SAF. The UK is currently at a 1.6% SAF blending ratio, still short of the 2% target, which will be assessed at the year's end [3][4]. Future Demand Projections - By 2027, global SAF demand is projected to reach 3-4 million tons, driven by the CORSIA requirements for member countries to implement SAF blending ratios. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) anticipates that global SAF demand could reach 40 million tons by 2050 [3][4]. Beneficiary Companies - Companies likely to benefit from these trends include Jiaao Environmental Protection (603822.SH), Shanggou Environmental Energy (000803.SZ), Zhuoyue New Energy (688196.SH), Haineng Technology (300072.SZ), and Pengyao Environmental Protection (300664.SZ) [5].
