How this is made
Every morning the collector reads the news indexes, the Federal Register and the trade press and keeps what is about sustainable aviation fuel: the headline, the source, the date and a short summary, each linking to its source; nothing is copied. The deals table began as SAFxCHANGE's own agreement table (2013 to late 2023, with the volume of each deal in litres, gallons and tonnes) and grows as agreements are announced. The facts pulled out of each article (the parties, volumes, feedstock, technology, region) came from the earlier SAFxCHANGE crawler for the archive and are added for new items as they are read. Figures are as reported by the parties; a volume is counted only where a deal states one.
