In Poland, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) and PKO Bank Polski have signed the first syndicated agreement in Poland in the biogas and biomethane sector. The banks have granted a loan to Neo Biofuel Energy, which will allocate it for the purchase and development of agricultural biogas plants. The agreement amounts to 74 million PLN and […]
In Finland, at the start of the year, P2X Solutions and Sunfire marked a historic milestone with the first industrial scale green hydrogen production in Finland’s energy history. Building on this achievement, the two hydrogen pioneers are now further strengthening their partnership: Sunfire has been selected by P2X Solutions to conduct the Front-End Engineering Design […]
In Spain, public-private consortium formed by Bioreciclaje de Cádiz (owned by Valoriza, GS Inima, and Consorcio de Residuos de la Bahía de Cádiz) and Enagás Renovable has established a company whose objective is to develop a renewable natural gas (RNG) generation project at the Medina Sidonia Landfill in the province of Cadiz in Andalusia (South […]
In Washington, Brownfield Ag News reports Energy Information Administration data shows ethanol production jumped to 1.071 million barrels last week as the first of the corn harvest began rolling in, and most facilities completed their annual maintenance shutdowns. Stocks continued to fall to 22.72 million barrels, 44,000 barrels less than the week prior, despite the […]
In the UK, P&O Ferries has made history on the North Sea, with its vessel, the Pride of Hull, becoming the first ferry on the busy Hull–Rotterdam route to permanently run on lower-carbon biofuel. Following a successful trial, the vessel is now running entirely on Biofuel B30 – a milestone in P&O Ferries’ journey to […]
In Texas, researchers at the University of Houston made two significant breakthroughs that could reduce the cost of capturing harmful emissions from power plants, marking a major step in addressing climate change. The first breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, introduces a membraneless electrochemical process that slashes energy requirements for amine-based carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture. The […]
In Australia, Australian Sugar Manufacturers (ASM) has submitted a bold vision to the Parliamentary Inquiry into Sugarcane Bioenergy Opportunities in Queensland, calling for a A$40 million investment package to transform the sugar industry into the centerpiece of Australia’s renewable energy and low carbon liquid fuel future. Representing an industry that supports over 20,000 regional jobs, […]
In Denmark, European Energy will begin integrating the next generation of bio-methanol into its portfolio of green fuels. The bio-methanol will be produced through an innovative technology known as electrified steam methane reforming (e-SMR), where renewable electricity is used to process biogas or biomethane into synthesis gas, which is then converted into green methanol using […]
In the Netherlands, Reuters reports Shell expects to take another $600 million hit during its upcoming Q3 reporting related to pulling out of the planned biofuel project at its refinery in Rotterdam, bringing the total losses associated with the project to $1.4 billion. The project was approved in 2021, but it paused construction last year […]
In California, Utility Global, Inc. and Maas Energy Works announced an agreement to advance the development of the first commercial project in California to use dairy digester biogas for direct hydrogen fuel production. The project will produce deeply carbon-negative hydrogen from water without electricity for the mobility sector, setting a new benchmark for cost-effective decarbonization. […]
