Dutch company Yilkins leverages swirl fluidized bed technology for drying and carbonizing over 100 biomass residues. Their skid-based units scale from 0.25 to 14 tons per hour. With a 600M€ project backlog, Yilkins ensures bankability through performance warranty backstop insurance and financial guarantees from Rabobank. Key global partners include Shell, ThyssenKrupp, and Reliance, where they […]
November 20, 1982. The Play. Four seconds left. Stanford has the lead. The entire 1980s college era of order and structure says: Game over. The formality of a final Stanford squib kickoff comes. Then, Cal comes alive. A lateral keeps the game alive. Then another, and it looks like the player’s downed — Stanford players […]
In Florida, the Daily Digest today released its annual review of biofuels mandates and targets around the world, looking at the state of biofuels mandates in 65 countries. Get the latest up to the minute new information on the New Mexico and Canada Clean Fuels Standard as well as a section on SAF mandates in […]
Hexas accelerates biomass aggregation using XanoGrass, yielding 200 tons of XanoFiber™ from just 8 acres. This land-use efficiency is vital, as 2023 median farm income was –900 while 2025 corn losses are projected at 160 per acre. National survey data shows 37% of agricultural stakeholders strongly agree they are excited about bioenergy crops. Hexas’ Farm-to-Fiber […]
Sóliome is revolutionizing sun protection using kynurenine, a natural UV filter found in the human eye, to create transparent, biodegradable, and highly stable sunscreens. Unlike the 14,000 tons of xenobiotic sunscreens entering the ocean annually, Sóliome’s filters are derived from plant-based amino acids (tryptophan). Data shows Sóliome’s filters remain stable for over 18 hours, outperforming […]
Night has fallen on the most consequential race humanity has ever run. The pit lane glows under floodlights as engines scream into view — and with them come the hopes we’ve placed on sustainable fuels to save the world. First over the line: Team Road Mode. A diesel-class endurance machine: scarred by two centuries of […]
In Kentucky, a new international study co-led by the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment (CAFE) shows how a single genetic change helps protect corn seeds during storage. This offers plant breeders a clear target for developing varieties that stay vigorous longer and waste fewer seeds. The research, published in The Plant […]
In Switzerland, International Air Transport Association (IATA) released new estimates for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production showing that: In 2025, SAF output is expected to reach 1.9 million tons (Mt) (2.4 billion liters), double the 1 Mt produced in 2024. However, in 2026, SAF production growth is projected to slow down and reach 2.4 Mt. […]
Mango Materials is addressing plastic pollution by producing Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a biodegradable and often carbon negative material, under the brand YOPP™. This material is produced via a microbial process utilizing methane emissions, such as biogas captured from wastewater treatment facilities in California. The urgency is underscored by the observation that U.S. plastics recycling rates are […]
ICF forecasts environmental commodity pricing will likely rise, driven by domestic feedstock shortages versus aggressive Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs). This tension is compounded by the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) limiting full credit for virgin oil biomass-based diesel to a 20% cap starting in 2028. Data shows Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) volumes in the […]
