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 […]
Hexas provides XanoFiber from its proprietary, purpose-grown XanoGrass. This crop offers high biomass yield per acre compared to alternatives and addresses the need for sustainable biomass. XanoGrass production can be carbon negative and is an EPA-approved bioenergy crop eligible for RINs. Their Farm-to-Fiber platform ensures dedicated supply local to facilities. Communities see benefits like generating […]
“A compass, I learned when I was surveying,.. it’ll point you true north from where you’re standing, but it’s got no advice about the swamps, deserts and chasms that you’ll encounter along the way. If in pursuit of your destination, you plunge ahead heedless of obstacles, and achieve nothing more than to sink in a […]
ABB provides integrated automation, electrical, and digital solutions to enhance profitability and predictability in sustainable fuels and chemicals production. Recognizing project challenges like cost/schedule overruns, their Adaptive Execution approach emphasizes co-design and co-delivery. This can reduce CAPEX by 10-20% and accelerate schedules by up to 25% compared to traditional methods. ABB supports projects across all […]
Jupeng Bio converts advantaged carbon sources into high-value products using a proprietary, environmentally friendly process. Their journey to Net Zero involves utilizing carbon sinks and reducing GHG emissions. Technologies include biomass gasification, syngas fermentation, and CO2 fermentation. They have demonstrated second and third-generation syngas processes and a first-generation CO2 process. The Pengtai Project aims to […]
The CEM Biofuture Council aims to leverage international dialogue (G20, G7, COP30) to strengthen sustainable fuels and chemicals in energy security and climate mitigation. Their goals include normalizing policy discussion, driving action, and addressing barriers like carbon accounting diversity. The CEM Action Plan focuses on areas like increasing demand, supply chains, common standards, and financing. […]
Back before there was an advanced bioeconomy, or even a United States, there was the Big Piney Woods and six flags have flown over it. Through it ran a path cut not by men, but by bison. From the southern plains to the banks of the Red River, the buffalo moved with the seasons—seeking salt, […]
GIC Group is launching CPC (Commodity Plus Carbon) futures contracts linking commodity prices with carbon emission reductions. These contracts generate premiums based on emissions below benchmarks and enable the biofuel industry, particularly corn and ethanol producers, to access 45Q and 45Z tax credits. Utilizing Ucrop.it for data verification, CPC provides access to Scope 1, 2, […]
