Verde aims to produce low-cost, carbon-negative gasoline using its proprietary STG+ process with “stranded energy” and “waste feedstocks”. The company highlights that STG+ gasoline has a lower lifecycle carbon intensity than an EV. A significant milestone is the joint development agreement with Diamondback for a Permian Basin natural gas-to-gasoline plant, with FEED study underway. This […]
Idaho National Laboratory’s Biomass Feedstock National User Facility (BFNUF) is crucial for de-risking bioeconomy scale-up. Key innovations include the ~$10M WAVES project for wet agricultural waste processing. An MSW separation system achieved 80% separation of unrecyclable materials, optimizing gasification feedstocks. Collaborative research with GTI Energy on waste gasification and biomass to entrained flow gasification has […]
Anellotech presents Plas-TCat, a novel fluid bed catalytic cracking technology that performs a single-step conversion of mixed plastic waste into high-value chemicals like benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylene, and propylene. A key innovation is its feedstock flexibility, handling a broad range of polymers and contaminants, along with robust filler management. This scalable technology (>200 KTA) offers […]
Jimmy Samartzis of LanzaJet spoke on building the new SAF industry. He highlighted the LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels (FPF) plant, their First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) facility. Mechanical completion occurred in May 2024, grand opening in August 2024. Despite hurricane impacts, startup is underway. FPF created jobs and economic activity. LanzaJet stressed SAF is a huge opportunity for […]
SynPet offers a proprietary Thermal Conversion Process (TCP) that uniquely treats complex mixed plastic waste, including PVC, without sorting or drying. This non-combustion technology avoids new CO2 emissions. Products include Circular Naphtha, Renewable Natural Gas, and electricity. SynPet aims to create a circular petrochemical industry by converting waste plastics into Circular Naphtha Substitute. Their process […]
Velocys provides Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology, including microchannel reactors and catalysts, for sustainable fuel production, particularly Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Drawing on extensive operational experience from projects like ENVIA and NEDO, Velocys is focusing on deploying its proven technology. The company positions FT as an efficient and cost-flexible solution ready for small and mid-sized plants now, […]
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 […]
