In Spain, Negocios reports Moeve and its partner Apical have already completed just over 50% of the construction of their new second-generation (2G) biofuels plant in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva), a key facility within southern Europe’s largest 2G renewable fuel hub. With an investment of 1.2 billion euros, a flexible capacity of up to […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that the Indian government has allowed the export of second generation (2G) ethanol. A notification issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) on September 24 states that export of second generation (2G) Ethanol – i.e. ethanol produced through cellulosic material such as bagasse, wood waste, other renewable resources, […]
In India, Business Today reports the government has approved the export of second generation ethanol now that consumption reached the E20 target in July, five years ahead of schedule. Ethanol for both fuel and non-fuel use are allowed for export immediately but only when it “is permitted for fuel and non-fuel purposes, subject to a […]
In Illinois, in collaboration with other Bioenergy Research Centers (BRCs), researchers at the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) are developing industrially feasible techniques for second-generation biofuel production from oilcane, an oil-rich variety of sugarcane, to help meet our growing societal demand for fuels. In a traditional biorefinery, sugarcane is used as a […]
In Spain, Evolgene has positioned itself at the forefront of global technology for obtaining SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). Since January 1, the use of sustainable fuels in commercial aircraft has been mandatory and an exponential increase in SAF is expected in the coming years. Behind this alternative to kerosene, which allows the efficient production of […]
In Bulgaria, Renewables Now reported that Brazil’s National Social and Economic Development Bank (BNDES) approved $163 million in financing for the construction of a plant for the production of second-generation cellulosic ethanol (E2G) by Raizen. The report noted that Raizan will build a plant with a capacity of 82 million liters of cellulosic ethanol per […]
In Brazil, National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) approved financing totaling R$1 billion for Raízen Energia S/A to build a second-generation Cellulosic Ethanol Unit, E2G, in Andradina (SP), with an installed production capacity of up to 82 million liters per year.

In Romania, International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG) signed an agreement with Clariant to purchase the decommissioned bioethanol plant in Podari, Romania in late July. In the future, the site will be operated by ICIG’s biotechnology subsidiary Corden BioChem. As a biotechnology CDMO, Corden BioChem already operates one of Europe’s largest fermentation plants at the industrial […]
In Brazil, Agencia FAPESP says novel genetically modified strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae developed in Brazil has shown the potential, under conditions similar to those prevailing in industry, to increase production of second-generation ethanol by up to 60% without the need to increase sugarcane acreage. According to an article published in Scientific Reports, the […]
In Brazil, Raízen inaugurated last Friday its new Second Generation Ethanol plant at the Bonfim Bioenergy Park, in Guariba (SP). With an investment of R$1.2 billion, the company’s second cellulosic ethanol plant is the largest in the world and has 80% of the volume already contracted with a production capacity of 82 million liters per […]
