It’s just past 11:30 p.m. on a cold April night, and the North Atlantic is flat as glass. On the bridge of the Titanic, the warnings have already come in—ice reports, coordinates, positions. Nothing dramatic. Nothing definitive. Just enough to know that something is out there, somewhere ahead. Below deck, the engines are still turning […]
Oberon Fuels highlights the necessity of maintaining “Molecular Flexibility” and “Market Flexibility” to build a sustainable business in the shifting renewable fuels landscape. The most newsworthy development is their launch of “AeroNu,” a renewable Dimethyl Ether (DME) aerosol propellant produced in partnership with Aeropres. Moving beyond their traditional focus on diesel replacement and propane blending, […]
This presentation from Poten&Partner’s Sarah Boisvert highlights Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) markets, technologies, and barriers. The most newsworthy aspect is the identification of the most significant barrier to SAF adoption: the notable imbalance between production costs and the price of conventional Jet-A fuel. It also details other market and technical barriers, including ASTM certification requirements, […]
He wakes before the sun, and for a moment everything feels possible. Then he tries to move. Nothing. A thousand tiny tensions hold him down—threads across the arms, cords at the ankles, pins in the fabric, stakes in the ground. Individually, they are laughable. Together, they hold. On his chest, committees have formed: one argues […]
SkyNRG is actively developing a diversified pipeline of commercial-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) projects globally. The most newsworthy update is the progress on their scaling hubs, specifically “Project Wigeon” in Washington state, which targets a 50 million gallons per year (MGPY) SAF output. This facility capitalizes on avoiding methane emissions through Landfill Gas (LFG) and […]
ABLC mornings begin, as they always do, with coffee, conversations, and small acts of confusion. This year, a grandfather—tasked with entertaining his grandkids between sessions—handed them ABLC conference swag lip balms, confidently explaining how to speak into them as if they were microphones. The children obliged. For a moment, the room was full of voices, […]
By the time the Bioeconomy Policy Forum opened at ABLC 2026, the ground had already shifted. Oil had surged past $119 a barrel. The Strait of Hormuz was in play. And inside the room, the instruction was simple: be candid, be fierce, and don’t waste time pretending things are fine. “This session is notorious for […]
France is expanding its bioenergy sector to reduce its 100% fossil fuel import dependency, aiming for a 33% renewable energy share by 2030. Biogas is a major growth area, with biomethane grid injections hitting 2.4% of gas use in 2023, spurred by new feed-in tariffs. The transport sector is also transforming under the 2022 TIRUERT […]
Driven by a legally binding goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2035, Finland relies heavily on its vast forests, with biomass providing over 80% of its renewable energy. Recent milestones include the launch of Metsä Fibre’s biomethanol plant and massive district heating investments by Helen and Tampereen Energia. Furthermore, Finland is heavily investing in emerging […]
