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, […]
By Sam A. Rushing, President, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd. Special to The Digest With respect to all options being essential, we can start with sequestering CO2 via the best farming methods, and enhancing closed greenhouse operations with CO2 to put photosynthesis in overdrive. With respect to carbon management for farmers, climate smart practices do enhance CO2 […]

Castlerock Biofuels, in collaboration with Ensyn, holds exclusive US rights to RTP® fast thermal conversion technology. They plan a facility in Maine to produce 20 million gallons annually of Renewable Fuel Oil (FPBO) from woody biomass slash. With an EPA-approved feedstock plan and secured feedstock commitments, CBF has also obtained a 100% offtake commitment from […]
NCGA supports the National Ag-based Biomanufacturing Incentive to boost domestic manufacturing by converting renewable U.S. feedstock into high-value non-fuel/non-food products. It proposes tax credits (30% ITC or $0.10/lb PTC) to enhance investment and stabilize against commodity price swings. Credits are transferable via Section 6418. The goal is to create demand for expanding corn supply, leveraging […]
We’ve rarely had a week in the bioeconomy where so much worthy advancement on carbon-smart technology won so less applause. Pyran announced that an independent cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment for its 1,5-pentanediol, confirms that Pyran’s bio-based PDO reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 99% compared to petroleum-derived 1,6-hexanediol. Pyran’s been lauded for using intermediates […]
Enerkem has it all: patented technology, public sector backing, global partners, and a flagship project in Quebec.
