In California, California, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington, and Baja California are working together on a network of charging and hydrogen fueling stations intended to support zero-emission trucks traveling the West Coast. Government leaders announced the British Columbia to Baja California ZEV Corridor, or BC2BC, Aug. 26 at the Port of Long Beach. The initiative would […]
In Singapore, the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) released its report, Quantity assurance in marine biofuel supply chains, outlining a practical approach to help shipowners verify that they receive both the total quantity of fuel and the renewable content contracted. The approach draws on evidence from GCMD’s end-to-end marine biofuel supply chain trials conducted […]
In Texas, Fast Markets reports hydrogen supply disruptions are beginning to affect renewable diesel operations in the U.S. Gulf, although the scale and duration remain uncertain. Commercial renewable diesel plants use hydrogen-intensive hydrotreating to convert fats and oils into fuel, requiring roughly 25–50 kilograms of hydrogen per metric ton of feedstock. Shortages could temporarily reduce […]
In the UK, plans have been submitted for a £140m scheme to introduce a new Advanced Anaerobic Digestion facility at Ellesmere Port Wastewater Treatment Works. If approved, the facility will be upgraded to replace an existing anaerobic digestion unit with updated technology which will increase the amount of biogas that is generated from wastewater sludge […]
In South Korea, researchers from Korea have now developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-guided optimization framework that dramatically reduces the computational effort needed to optimize solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) operation. By combining high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with an AI-driven active learning framework, the researchers rapidly identified operating conditions that improve hydrogen production efficiency […]
In Washington, American Soybean Association is sounding the alarm over reports that small refinery exemptions for the 2025 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) compliance year could far exceed previous government projections, delivering a major blow to domestic biofuel demand when U.S. soybean farmers can least afford it. Recent reports and analysis indicate small refinery exemptions from […]
The bioeconomy relies on two distinct training pipelines that fail at different points. Apprenticeships, which are employer sponsored, face high attrition due to persistence issues like transit, childcare, and mentoring quality. Their cumulative six year completion rate is under forty seven percent, heavily bottlenecked by scarce employer job slots. Conversely, community colleges lose candidates to […]
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, or NEDO, and Kyoto University will build a dedicated beamline for hydrogen energy research at the next-generation SPring-8-II synchrotron facility. The beamline, formally named the Hydrogen Energy Material Multimodal Measurement Beamline and designated BL34XU, will be the first newly […]
In the Netherlands, Nobian and Air Products have signed a long-term agreement for the offtake of RFNBO-compliant, certified hydrogen produced at Nobian’s Rotterdam facility. The certified RFNBO hydrogen is produced at Nobian’s renewables-powered chlor-alkali electrolysis plant, which became in 2025 the first large-scale European renewable hydrogen producer to receive ISCC EU certification for RFNBO. With […]
In Romania, Romania Insider reported that Romania’s Senate has approved legislation updating the framework for integrating renewable and low-carbon hydrogen into the transport and industrial sectors. The legislation would require fuel suppliers, starting in 2030, to ensure that at least 1% of the fuel supplied comes from renewable sources of non-biological origin, including green hydrogen. […]
