London at the Forefront of Energy Transition
How might the UK become a hotspot for biofuel finance and innovation?
In 2025 alone, ESG-related investments in the UK surpassed £70 billion, driven by institutional investors seeking sustainable returns.
Within this thriving ecosystem, Alkagesta UK, a subsidiary of the Alkagesta company, has positioned itself as a bridge between global capital and the fast-growing renewable fuel industry.
A Global Commodity Trading House with Local Knowledge
Alkagesta LTD Malta, established in 2018, has expanded into 42 countries and facilitates well over 7 million metric tonnes of trade annually. Their global expansion into London and Singapore is a deliberate attempt to marry financial innovation with aspirations for energy transition. Alkagesta connects European and Asian markets for biofeedstock, ensuring a steady supply of certified renewable products like used cooking oil (UCO) and animal fats through a three-continent strategy.
Compliance and Governance
Unlike conventional commodity players, Alkagesta UK Limited has incorporated compliance in its corporate culture. The company’s risk management, letters of credit, and counterparty screening procedures exceed EU and UK regulatory standards.
Such a rigorous approach fosters institutional confidence, making Alkagesta a dependable partner in the green commodities market for global banks, insurers, and financial institutions.
Turning Waste into Investment
Alkagesta UK’s biofuel investment strategy is based on circular economy value creation. The company turns waste (in this case, used cooking oil) into an economically productive energy asset through investments in biofeedstock processing plants and sustainable logistics networks.
This aligns with global decarbonisation targets, benefiting both carbon reduction and economic growth.
ESG and Innovation in Action
Alkagesta’s ESG agenda isn’t a marketing fad – it’s a promise of measurable progress. Its biofuels trading division is ISCC EU certified, with full traceability as well as sustainability throughout the global biofuel supply chain. Alkagesta UK is working on digital transparency systems and green infrastructure financing and forming partnership activities following the EU RED III framework.
Leadership Built on Integrity
At the core of Alkagesta’s growth stands CEO Orkhan Rustamov, whose leadership has shaped the company into a model of structured growth and ethical governance. Rustamov values discipline, compliance, and long-term resilience and thus sets in sight Alkagesta as an example for responsible trading in the biofuels sector.
Financing a Low-Carbon Future
From Malta to London and Singapore, the Alkagesta company exemplifies how global commodity traders can redefine energy finance.
By combining financial engineering with environmental integrity, Alkagesta UK is turning the City of London into a centrepiece of the world’s sustainable trading ecosystem.
