An opinion piece argues that biofuels made from sustainable palm oil could help the EU decarbonize shipping, responding to a leaked draft of the EU's green fuels law. It notes criticism from NGOs and the shipping industry over the draft's fuel choices.

After 548 past bullish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -0.7% to +2.1%), and +0.9% over 20.
