If you’ve been hiding amongst the outer planets in recent months and years, you’ll not have heard of the increasing alarm over microplastics — these almost microscopic-sized bits of hydrocarbon that are piling up in our bodies, in our food, and everywhere. Dire predictions there have been about the risks, and solutions generally have been […]
The new clear plastic bottle — the opportunities range beyond finding biobased alternatives to the components of conventional PET plastic — there’s the higher-performing PEF polymer to consider, which is arriving after many years of development at commercial scale, soon. What are the applications, the partners, the timelines, the competitive edge? Avantium’s Bart Van Limpt […]
How do we build a new globally optimized, massively scaled, highly efficient bio-based supply chain quickly enough to meet the bold goals set by the White House and the challenges of climate change, food security, national security, and sustainability? As Spruce Capital co-founder Roger Wyse observes, there have been few success stories to date. Here […]
Comstock Fuels highlights that its “ breakthrough cellulosic technology enables fuel producers to lead in fuel production efficiency and output while contributing to net zero mobility. Our proprietary cellulosic fuel technology converts woody biomass into C6 sugar and Bioleum, a unique blend of hydrocarbons.” Comstock Fuels president David Winsness presented these slides at ABLC 2024.
Proprietary Vertimass Technology can lower costs of sustainable fuels for aircraft and light and heavy duty vehicles while providing a new route to renewable chemicals. Rapid development and deployment of novel Vertimass technology for conversion of renewable ethanol into hydrocarbons could open up new markets for ethanol and corn, enhance energy security, and reduce greenhouse […]
In this presentation, we explored the challenges faced in the transition to sustainable, available, reliable, affordable feedsocks. We look at the crops getting traction, new crops developing, the role of residues, new data from the Billion Ton Report, the policy environment, carbon prices or the lack thereof and much more, including how stakeholders are coming […]
Liberation Labs was formed to address the growing fermentation capacity gap in cellular agriculture by providing the industry with the infrastructure to commercialize novel protein manufacturing at the scale and cost structure required by the market. CEO and co-founder Mark Warner presented these slides at ABLC 2024.
I have good news to share today, from Ensyn; also, from a company called Matereal that’s been bubbling below the surface for some time and is now emerged from stealth. Finally, from a worthy group called Change Chemistry that is co-organizing a meeting of interest this week with DOE leaders. I suppose that, in our […]

Low carbon fuel standards are on the march. New states, new regulations, much to consider — what states are on the opportunity map, what carbon targets are coming, what new pathways, what is the regulatory framework going to be in the “God is in the details” department? To help sort it out, LCFC executive director […]
