FAQs

The Refuel Intelligence Platform is a cutting-edge tool designed to simulate and analyze sustainable fuel project outcomes under various scenarios. It helps organizations optimize sustainable fuel production, assess carbon intensity, and evaluate cost and sustainability impacts across different pathways, feedstocks, and regions.

The platform is ideal for procurement teams, sustainable fuel producers, policymakers, and other stakeholders in hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and heavy industry who need to make informed decisions about sustainable fuel investments, future supply and operations.

Refuel provides detailed insights into the carbon intensity of different sustainable fuel production pathways and helps identify the most cost-effective and sustainable options. The platform also calculates the abatement cost and potential carbon savings, aiding in the reduction of overall greenhouse gas emissions, including the impacts of policy-related credits, grants, and incentive schemes.

The Refuel platform supports analysis of various sustainable fuels, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) with pathways such as HEFA & Alcohol to Jet (ATJ), Biodiesel, Naphtha. Users can also explore different first and second generation feedstock options such as sugarcane, corn, and waste materials.

Yes, the platform allows users to run multiple scenarios for a single project and compare the results side by side. This helps in understanding the impact of different variables, such as feedstock price changes or regional policy shifts, on project outcomes.

The platform uses advanced algorithms, real-time market data, and industry best practices to generate highly-accurate simulations. While the results provide valuable insights, they are still projections and should be considered alongside other business intelligence and expert advice.

Users can input data related to production capacity, feedstock types, regions, utility costs, and more, including advanced customisation options such as the ability to add multiple feedstock types in specific proportions and prices, along with calibrating custom product slates, and providing further details about the nature of the processing facility.

In addition to detailed data analysis, the Refuel platform offers a Refuel Rating that summarizes the cost and sustainability outcomes of a project. This rating, along with other insights, helps users quickly evaluate and make decisions.

Refuel takes data security seriously. All user data is encrypted and stored securely in compliance with industry standards and best practices. We also ensure that your data is only accessible by authorized personnel within your organization.

Refuel offers support in the form of a detailed knowledge base and email support. Users can also schedule one-on-one consultations with our experts for personalized guidance and troubleshooting.

We assess likely project outcomes across large statistical simulations, and compare against an objective baseline in the case of carbon intensities, and expert ranges in the case of cost estimates. The carbon intensity baseline is calibrated so that the one star rating is set to the bare minimum GHG saving compared to a fossil fuel baseline acceptable for sustainable fuel in the EU (60% for installations in operation after 2015). While a five-star rating in carbon would be set to 100% emission saving. For the cost ratings our team of industry experts have provided upper and lower thresholds for the likely production costs across the sustainable fuel industry over the next few years.
