In the UK, Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA) annual conference, Minister Shanks, Minister for Energy in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, delivered a keynote address emphasizing that Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is essential to delivering clean power and industrial decarbonization and that the UK must accelerate deployment if it […]
In Brazil, Vale and locomotive manufacturer Wabtec Corporation announced a partnership to develop studies on a dual-fuel engine that can use both diesel and a mixture of diesel and ethanol. The studies will initially be conducted in the laboratory to validate the concept and evaluate performance, emissions reduction, and the ethanol/diesel substitution rate. The studies […]
In India, after operating successfully for two years, the pioneering carbon capture project at NTPC’s 500 MW coal-fired Unit-13 at the Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station in India has reached a major milestone when CO2 captured from flue gas using Carbon Clean’s CaptureX semi-modular technology was used to produce the first drop of methanol. The […]
In Spain, by leveraging the book and claim model, the Avelia platform aims to reduce the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) aviation emissions and enable greater participation in the sector’s decarbonization efforts. The platform provides wider access to the GHG benefits of SAF across the aviation value chain. This agreement supports Moeve’s Positive Motion strategy […]
In Germany, Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched a new series of coupling relays, with housing made from plastic that consists of 70 percent bio-based material – derived from biomass waste. The Akulon® K225-KS B-MB plastic was developed by Envalior, a world leader in a wide range of industries by designing and developing high-quality sustainable solutions, […]
In Texas, oneworld alliance and member airlines, in partnership with Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV), recently announced the launch of a new investment fund designed to address the limited availability and high cost of today’s Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). The fund, led by cornerstone investors Alaska Airlines and American Airlines, seeks to accelerate the global development […]
In the UK, Mercedes F1 team announced 99% coverage of HVO100 biofuel across our European race and marketing truck logistics in 2025. Marking the latest milestone in our journey towards Net Zero and building on our success from 2024, we have been increasing HVO100 coverage in our internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks across the European […]
In the Netherlands, Amsterdam-based climate tech startup Brineworks has secured €6.8 million in new funding to accelerate commercialization of its ultra-low-cost Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. The round was led by SeaX Ventures, with participation from Pale Blue Dot, First Momentum, AiiM Partners, Energie360°, and Katapult. Brineworks has also been awarded a €1.8 million grant […]
In the UK, Aston University has opened the Wolfson Centre for Low Carbon Hydrogen, a new state-of-the-art facility dedicated to exploring hydrogen production from biomass conversion. The centre houses a pilot plant consisting of three core facilities – a high-pressure gasifier that converts biomass into a hydrogen-containing gas mixture, a palladium membrane reactor for separating […]
In Indonesia, Indonesia is exploring pathways to incorporate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into its national biofuel program, with used cooking oil (UCO) emerging as a promising feedstock. An International Council on Clean Transportation research brief examines how the Indonesian government could establish a Used Cooking Oil Fund (UCOF) to support SAF production through export levy […]
