Call me Brown. I come from a town west of Nebraska and north of the North Platte so unimportant, nobody remembers what it was called. Not even the people still living there. Two streets, a Dollar Store boarded up, and a Methodist Church with nothing left to sing about. Nobody visits anymore—not even the wind. […]
Cascadia aims to lead global aviation decarbonization by achieving an ambitious goal of 1 billion gallons of locally produced SAF by 2035. This compelling regional public-private effort targets scaling production and cost parity by transforming infrastructure, policy, and market dynamics. A novel initiative is the Cascadia Sustainable Aviation Institute, which will offer accelerated testing capabilities […]
The light always comes in sideways in Smallville—long, clean, and gold—casting tractor silhouettes across the barn wood like stained glass. You can almost smell the hay and motor oil, hear a screen door slap shut somewhere. One of those evenings when nothing changes, and then everything does. Jonathan Kent didn’t quite understand what he was […]
Aquora Biosystems presents a compelling next-generation SAF pathway, Fermentation-to-Jet Fuel (F2J), utilizing abundant organic waste feedstocks. The ambitious claim is that F2J SAF can uniquely achieve carbon intensities as low as -150 g CO2/MJ. The patented fermentation process converts waste into ketones or biogas. Their initial strategy involves retrofitting existing RNG facilities, expecting a 3-10x […]
Dr. Watson sat by the window at 221B Baker Street, puffing with quiet satisfaction over the freshly bound memoir the Daily Digest had just published—The Case of the Vanishing Boiler—while Holmes, utterly unmoved by the glory of publication, worried a frayed violin bow across a passage of Paganini so fiendishly difficult it had become more […]
NXTClean Fuels and the Cascadia SAF Accelerator are collaborating to lead aviation decarbonization, centered on the Columbia River Hub in Oregon. The ambitious plan calls for an Ultra-low fossil HEFA Refinery with a world-scale production capacity of 540 MM GPY. A key novel finding is the design basis for hydrogen production using Auto-Thermal Reforming (ATR) […]
By Sam A. Rushing, president, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd Special to The Digest Carbon dioxide has been on the forefront of much of today’s media as a major greenhouse gas which will be an extraordinary challenge to manage in the future. The greenhouse effect, that being rise in global temperatures, sea levels, and other catastrophic effects […]
Ariel Green offers compelling Technology Performance Insurance (TPI), a novel financial tool designed to de-risk complex clean energy projects. TPI policies are customized to cover technology-specific Named Perils, like defective engineering or insufficient processes. This insurance upgrades warranties to investment grade, ensuring financiers and owners have improved project risk profiles. Ambitious coverage includes Long-term Output […]
It’s the universe’s most abundant element—and yet maddeningly scarce in usable form here on Earth. It slips through steel, leaks from tanks, embrittles pipelines, and ignites at the faintest spark. You can’t ship it easily. You can’t bottle it cheaply. It hides in plain sight. Hydrogen, hydrogen everywhere—and not a drop to use. We dug […]
BioVeritas introduces the BVK Process to produce “SAF. Unconstrained,” ambitiously aiming to unlock over 100 billion gallons of SAF supply by 2050 from non-traditional wastes and cellulosics. Their key finding is the successful 45,000x scale-up and one year of continuous fermentation of their process. The resulting KEYtones are an advantaged HEFA feedstock, requiring <45% less […]
