Topsoe, a leader in energy transition, highlights their G2L™ Biofuels technology, a novel and commercially ready pathway converting Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Leveraging industrially proven Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, this solution achieves high carbon efficiency (~95%) and impressive SAF product yields (>80%). Topsoe emphasizes its role in leading hard-to-abate sectors toward […]
They say pulp was a dirty business. Maybe it was. Maybe it still is. I’ve seen boilers run red, steam choke a skyline, and accountants draw their margins like guns. For a long time, the whole thing was headed for a final scene — old mills, old margins, and the same old ending. But then […]
BioVeritas champions an “Unconstrained” approach to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), addressing the current limitations of HEFA feedstocks. Their novel strategy involves Directed Mixed-Culture Fermentation and Low-Energy Acid Recovery to produce Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs), which are then converted into SAF blendstock or intermediates. This dual market strategy aims to overcome supply constraints, positioning BioVeritas as […]
In Washington, the US Environmental Protection Agency announced a proposed rule to establish required Renewable Fuel Standard volumes and percentage standards for 2026 and 2027, as well as to partially waive the 2025 cellulosic biofuel volume requirement and revise the associated percentage standard due to a shortfall in cellulosic biofuel production. The proposed volume requirements […]
Michelle Ruiz, Founder & CEO of Hyfe, discussed transforming waste carbon. Hyfe targets high-value food processing waste, including grape pomace. Their tech uses green solvents to fractionate biomass into valuable components (phytochemicals, fibers, lignin, dextrose). This enables profitable facilities at any scale, boosting waste value over 100x. Hyfe has strong IP and a pilot startup […]
David Rubenstein, CEO of Sugar Valley Energy (CE+P), detailed their project producing 76 million gallons/year of 11 CI Score fuel ethanol from sugarcane. This converts to 60+ million gallons of SAF and 3+ million gallons of Renewable Diesel. CE+P controls its guaranteed, low-CI feedstock. Located in Imperial County, CA, the project leverages its position and […]
Valerie Reed, Director of the USDOE Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), discussed building A Resilient US Bioeconomy. She outlined benefits including job creation, strengthening national security via domestic supply chains, supporting ethanol producers, investing in communities, improving health, and achieving carbon reductions. BETO’s RD&D priorities focus on affordability, efficiency, and security for domestic biofuels and biobased […]
We are reporting this week in the Digest that USA BioEnergy has signed a letter of intent with Louisiana-Pacific for a long-term supply agreement for sustainably sourced wood fiber to support operations at USAB’s planned Texas Renewable Fuels biorefinery in Bon Wier, Texas. Once finalized, the agreement would provide for up to 2.2 million tons […]
The House of Novonesis has unveiled its latest silhouette — Innova Eclipse-L — a long-form fermentation strain designed to handle heat, high solids, and rising acid levels without breaking form. It’s the opening salvo in what may be the biggest design year yet on the bioeconomy catwalks. It’s haute couture for mass production. It’s so […]
Linde, a global gas and engineering company, presented on integrating SAF (HEFA) and hydrogen plants to reduce carbon intensity (CI) and cost. Arthur Pastore, Minish Shah, and David Maher highlighted using HEFA by-products for H2 and carbon capture from the H2 plant as key levers. CI reduction improves with by-product use. Tax credits, like 45Z […]
