Summary of the Conference Call on Jiaao Environmental Protection Industry Overview - **Industry**: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) - **Company**: Jiaao Environmental Protection Key Points and Arguments Strategic Transformation and Production Capacity - Jiaao Environmental Protection has strategically transformed its business towards the production of bio-jet fuel (SAF) with the Lianyungang Jiaao Phase I project now fully operational, expected to produce 370,000 tons annually, and has achieved bulk export sales, significantly improving revenue and profit [2][3] Market Demand and Growth Projections - The global demand for bio-jet fuel is projected to see substantial growth starting in 2025, with many countries setting blending ratio targets. It is expected that demand will exceed 6 million tons in 2025 and 18 million tons by 2030, indicating a broad market outlook [2][4] Financial Performance Highlights - Jiaao Environmental Protection reported significant revenue growth in the first three quarters, with a quarterly revenue increase of over 900 million yuan, and a turnaround to profitability in Q3 with earnings of 50 million yuan. The SAF price has surged from an average of 13,000 yuan/ton in the first half to around 20,000 yuan/ton, expanding profit margins [2][5] Cost Control and Profit Margin Expectations - The production of one ton of bio-jet fuel requires approximately 1.43 tons of waste oil, with a projected cost of around 13,000 yuan per ton. However, through centralized procurement and long-term contracts, costs could potentially be reduced to 12,000 yuan or lower. With a conservative selling price of 16,000 yuan/ton, the gross profit per ton could reach 3,000 to 4,000 yuan [2][6] Policy Support and Global Trends - Various countries have set blending ratio targets to promote bio-jet fuel development, with the EU aiming for a 6% blending ratio by 2030, and countries like Finland, Sweden, and Norway targeting 30%. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicts that 65% of the aviation industry's net-zero carbon emissions goal by 2050 will be achieved through SAF [2][7] Challenges and Opportunities in Production - Globally, many companies are advancing bio-jet fuel projects, with an expected production capacity of over 17 million tons by 2030. However, uncertainties remain regarding raw material supply, particularly for agricultural products and waste oils. In China, while specific blending ratio requirements have not been set, many airlines are initiating pilot projects for bio-jet fuel [2][8][9] Regional Market Insights - The EU has implemented strict targets to promote bio-jet fuel, with a projected consumption of 900,000 tons by 2025 and 2.7 million tons by 2030. The UK has set ambitious targets as well, with a consumption estimate of over 1.2 million tons by 2030, indicating a significant import gap [2][10][11] Competitive Landscape for Chinese Enterprises - Chinese companies like Jiaao Environmental Protection have obtained certifications and export licenses, positioning them competitively in the international market. With ongoing policy support and expanding pilot applications, these companies are expected to enhance their international competitiveness and seize opportunities from the growing global SAF demand [2][12]
