In Brazil, new studies led by Embrapa Ambiente reinforce the scientific basis of the National Biofuels Policy (RenovaBio) and expand transparency on the carbon intensity of biofuels produced in the country. The articles, published in international open access journals, fill technical gaps and strengthen the global understanding of how Brazil calculates the carbon intensity of […]
In Singapore, Keppel Ltd., through its Infrastructure Division (Keppel), and Aster have entered into an agreement to jointly assess the development of one of Asia’s first commercial‑scale Ethanol‑to‑Jet (EtJ) Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) facilities on Jurong Island, Singapore. The proposed plant is expected to have a planned production capacity of up to 100,000 metric tons […]
In the UK, LanzaTech Global has announced Saltend Chemicals Park in Humberside as the intended location for its pioneering DRAGON II project—a £600 million investment to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel at scale. Once operational, DRAGON II is expected to deliver around 80,000 metric tons of SAF, about 1% of UK jet […]
In Ireland, NYK invested in XFuel Limited (XFuel), a company that has developed innovative technology to refine liquid hydrocarbons derived from waste into low-carbon fuel. By advancing collaboration with XFuel — including the recycling of fuel sludge (fuel tank sediment) generated from our operating vessels — we aim to drive the development of advanced decarbonization […]
In Germany, climate-tech start-up Co-reactive from North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) has completed a seed financing round totaling €6.5 million. The capital will be used to scale the company’s CO₂ mineralization technology – which makes use of CO₂ and binds it permanently in high-performance construction materials – from prototype to industrial application. The round is led by […]
In Texas, Arva announced the expansion of its biofuels offering to support biofuel producers as they operationalize the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit. As fuel value becomes more directly tied to feedstock Carbon Intensity (CI), producers face growing pressure to source sufficient volumes of low-CI feedstocks while ensuring CI claims are defensible under audit. Arva […]
In California, DevvStream Corp. has signed a term sheet with Southern Energy Renewables, Inc. and Frontline BioEnergy, a trade name of Frontline Group LLC, that outlines an expanded collaboration to support the development and de-risking of Southern’s planned biomass-to-fuels and chemicals platform in Louisiana. The collaboration is designed to accelerate technical validation and commercialization by […]
In the UK, the aviation industry is set for a major boost as £43 million for green projects was announced recently by the government, supporting jobs and unlocking new investment. The major investment comes as the Government drives forward plans for expansion at Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports and the Transport Secretary recently chaired a meeting with prominent airlines, airports, innovators and engineering firms to […]
In the UK, new study has shown for the first time that waste cardboard can be used as an effective source of biomass fuel for large scale power generation. Engineers from the University of Nottingham have provided the first comprehensive characterisation of cardboard as a potential fuel source and created a new method to assess […]
In Washington, Brownfield Ag News reports the White House’s Office of Management and Budget has completed its review of the proposed 45Z tax credit guidance and proposed changes for which a public comment period will be open in May. The American Coalition for Ethanol thinks the guidance may come out in February or March, however, […]
