In Brazil, Equinor and the Center for Research and Innovation in Greenhouse Gas (RCGI) of the University of São Paulo (USP) announced on Wednesday during the Summit Agenda SP + Verde — event of the Government of the State of São Paulo that integrated the programming of the 8th edition of the Energy Transition Research […]
In Brazil, Spanish news agency EFE reports that about twenty countries, including Chile, Mexico, Panama and Guatemala, joined the initiative to quadruple the use of biofuels until 2035, in the framework of the summit of leaders of COP30 in Belém. The initiative, co-sponsored by Brazil, Japan and Italy, aims to foster international cooperation to extend […]
In Washington, Brownsfield Ag News reports ethanol production broke a new record last week at an average of 1.123 million barrels, up 32,000 bpd over the week prior. The corn harvest is wrapping up in key areas, making feedstock readily available for distillers. Even with favorable supply conditions, the crush margin eroded slightly but has […]
In Norway, LanzaTech Global announced the awarding of a €40 million grant from the European Union’s Innovation Fund, subject to the finalization of the grant agreement. The project, featuring the first commercial deployment of LanzaTech’s second-generation bioreactor, aims to produce 23.5 kt (~8M U.S. gallons) of ethanol per year by consuming smelter furnace greenhouse gases […]
In Australia, Australia Post has partnered with Ampol to supply 5 million liters of Amplify Diesel R10, consisting of a 10% blend of renewable diesel, to its Redbank Parcel Facility in Brisbane. The renewable diesel will be used in the site’s existing truck fleet of 89 vehicles over the next year, reducing lifecycle emissions without […]
In Belgium, ahead of COP30, 30 leading industrial and utilities companies around the world have joined coordinators of the Let Green Gas Count campaign (including ADBA, the American Biogas Council, EBA, eNG Coalition, Eurogas, Molecule Group, RNG Coalition, World Biogas Association) in call to the Green House Gas Protocol to explicitly recognize market-based instruments for […]
In Norway, Stargate Hydrogen and OX2 recently signed an agreement to jointly accelerate the commercial deployment of large-scale renewable hydrogen production in the Nordic region. The agreement marks the official commercialization of Stargate Hydrogen’s industrial-scale electrolyzer platform, reinforcing its foothold in Northern Europe.

In Singapore, the Global Centre for Green Fuels (GCGF) has officially launched the Maritime Ethanol & Methanol Alliance (MEMA), a new global platform to coordinate and accelerate the adoption of ethanol and methanol as low-carbon marine fuels. Anchored in Singapore, MEMA brings together shipowners, fuel producers, engine manufacturers, regulators, ports, and class societies to foster […]
In Saudi Arabia, microbes are masters of survival, evolving ingenious strategies to capture energy from their surroundings. For decades, scientists believed that only a handful of bacteria used specialized molecular “circuits” to shuttle electrons outside their cells—a process known as extracellular electron transfer (EET). This mechanism is critical for cycling carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and metals […]
