Data – we all need it. And the Biofuels Information Center provides essential bioenergy data, information, and tools to educate stakeholders on all aspects of biofuels. Where do they get the data from? How does the data help bioenergy companies? What does the latest data show? How can you access it?
By Cécile Michaut, Institut Polytechnique de Paris Special to The Digest Aviation is counting on the use of biofuels and petrol-free synthetic fuels to reduce carbon emissions. Technically it is possible, but some say it’s still too expensive. Hear from Samuel Saysset, Lead techno advisor at ENGIE Research; Jean-Philippe Héraud, Process engineer at IFP Energies […]
White Dog Labs is working on producing a Single-Cell Protein product from a cellulosic ethanol plant waste stream. The goal – to produce enough butyrate enhanced SCP product from cellulosic ethanol streams, that can be mixed with DDGS, for broiler chicken feed trials, which can provide cellulosic ethanol plants with a new valuable co-product from […]
Fourteen years ago today, the Daily Digest debuted not very auspiciously with two readers and a goal to cover you: the people and technologies of the advanced bioeconomy. Since then we’ve published 36,400 articles to date in the telling of your story, and, though promoted only via word of mouth, the Digest recently passed the […]
LanzaTech’s Dr. Laurel Harmon shared this illuminating slide guide at the BETO Peer Review on jet and diesel fuel production from industrial waste gases, commercialization of ethanol-to-jet technology by building a standalone Alcohol-to-Jet pre-commercial demonstration facility to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and diesel, the Freedom Pines Fuels project, and more.
As we conclude Gas Week here in Digestville, we’d like to share this intelligent and thoughtful summary of photolysis – that is, splitting water with photons to make hydrogen, that’s available on the internet but hard to find. It’s an excellent reminder that photons can split water, in fact, everyday plants do it every day. Making […]
On June 7, 2021, the US Department of Energy launched the Hydrogen Shot, which got kinda mixed up with the Moderna and Pfizer shots in the Battle for The Nation’s Attention that erupts on Facebook each morning. So, if you missed it, don’t feel alone. It’s the first Shot in a series the DOE is […]
In Wisconsin, Pyran closed its latest round of fundraising, bringing its total of investments and grants to nearly $4 million, and announced that industry veteran Mel Luetkens will join as CEO.

In Washington, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem sent a letter to the Biden Administration pointing out the role that higher-octane ethanol could play in meeting the Administration’s climate and public health goals. Governor Walz is the chair and Governor Noem is the vice chair of the Governors’ Biofuels Coalition. The governors’ letter […]
In Pennsylvania, New Energy Blue announced its New Energy Freedom biomass refinery on a 155-acre site near Mason City, Iowa. 275,000 tons of crop residue (cornstalks and wheat straw) will be locally sourced, then converted into 20 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol and 95 tons of lignin, a solid biofuel and natural binder. Half the […]
