This presentation summarizes the key information presented by Artur Yabe Milanez regarding the BNDES’s Public Call for investments in sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and low-carbon shipping fuels. The initiative, launched in August 2024 with an initial budget of BRL 6 billion (approximately USD 1 billion), aims to promote the development and introduction of new industrial […]
Conor Madigan from Aether Fuels presented on enabling economical, scalable sustainable fuels. Key takeaways include their Aether AuroraTM technology for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and diesel, using a novel Fischer Tropsch route. This technology employs intensified and electrified processes and novel catalysts to reduce CapEx and feedstock costs. It offers intrinsic feedstock flexibility and targets […]
In Washington, the US Energy Information Administration reports that U.S. production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is significantly increasing due to new capacity coming online. U.S. Other Biofuels production, including SAF, approximately doubled between December 2024 and February 2025. SAF, made from waste and agricultural feedstocks, is a key alternative to petroleum jet fuel and […]
In Brazil, researchers discovered CelOCE, a natural enzyme capable of revolutionizing cellulose deconstruction, crucial for converting biomass into biofuels like ethanol. Cellulose is highly resistant to degradation. CelOCE is a metalloenzyme that uses an unprecedented mechanism of substrate binding and oxidative cleavage to break down cellulose’s crystalline structure, making it accessible to other enzymes. This […]
In Québec, Alder Renewables and Bioénergie AE Côte-Nord announced Project Avance, a strategic partnership to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from sawmill residues in Port-Cartier, Québec. This project aims to build a first-of-its-kind pilot plant and establish one of the first biomass-to-SAF production facilities in North America. Alder Renewables’ proprietary technology will convert bio-oil produced […]
In the Netherlands, a new report, “Palm Oil Barometer 2025: Procurement for Prosperity,” calls for a fundamental shift in how palm oil is procured. Palm oil is a highly productive crop crucial for food security and millions of smallholders. Independent smallholders produce 25-30% of global palm oil but receive inequitable value distribution, hindering their ability […]
In Colorado, the SAFc Registry and Chooose have partnered in a first-of-its-kind software integration to streamline sustainable aviation fuel certificate (SAFc) transactions. Alaska Airlines is the first airline to use the integrated solutions end-to-end. This interoperability improves efficiencies, expands accessibility, and increases transparency in the SAF ecosystem. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is highlighted as the […]
In Pennsylvania, Montauk Renewables reported first quarter 2025 financial results. Total revenues were $42.6 million, a 9.8% increase compared to Q1 2024, driven primarily by monetizing RINs from 2024 RNG production. However, the company reported a net loss of $0.5 million, compared to a $1.9 million net income in Q1 2024. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA decreased […]
In Ontario, Aduro Clean Technologies and Cleanfarms Inc. signed an MOU to collaborate on developing a commercial pathway for difficult-to-recycle agricultural plastics. They will assess the technical and commercial feasibility of Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic Technology (HCT) as a solution for chemical recycling of on-farm plastic waste like silage film and bale wrap. These plastics are challenging […]
