In Texas, a global energy use continues to rise, the demand for renewable energy sources such as biofuels is also growing—especially in the transportation sector. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have demonstrated how nanotechnology can significantly improve biofuel production from microalgae, offering a sustainable path forward. The study, recently published […]
In Washington, U.S. Congressmen Mike Flood (NE-01) and Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (LA-02) announced that they introduced the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Information Act. This bill would direct the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) to include Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) more explicitly on their weekly and monthly reports, in line with existing standards and […]
In India, the Indian Express newspaper reports the ICAR-Indian Institute of Maize Research says the government plans to boost ethanol blending to 30% by 2030. In order for the sector to achieve the increase of up to 70 million metric tons by then, it requires an annual increase of 8%. Toe achieve that growth requires […]
In Indiana, CountryMark, a farmer-owned cooperative that operates in oil production, refining and marketing, marked a major milestone with the completion of more than $100M in refinery upgrades that will improve its diesel fuel quality and increase its diesel fuel production capabilities. CountryMark’s refinery investments utilize ISO dewaxing and co-processing technology. Co-processed renewable diesel is […]
In Belgium, NYK has commenced the continuous use of bio-LNG fuel on its LNG-powered car carriers. The bio-LNG is supplied by Titan Supply B.V. (Titan) at the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium. The first vessel to receive the fuel was Daisy Leader on June 15, and the second was Sumire Leader on July 18. Titan […]
In Canada, the Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization (CADO), and 4AIR announced a strategic collaboration between their respective Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) registries. The collaboration’s key focus is on interoperability to enhance data integrity, mitigate double issuance risks, and facilitate efficient cross-registry SAF certificate handling between commercial and business aviation. The collaboration between the CADO SAF Registry […]
In Georgia, Bloomberg reports that LanzaJet plans to open its delayed $200 million ethanol-to-jet facility in September. Equipment issues forced the late start that was meant for last year after it imported Brazilian ethanol to pilot its SAF production. But it expected to be fully operational before the end of the third quarter. Using imported […]
In Cambodia, the Kampuchea Thmey Daily newspaper the Xingtai Shunhe Biotechnology Co., Ltd. from Hebei Province, China, have expressed their interest in investing in clean energy and renewable energy to help improve energy security and ensure reduced environmental impacts in Cambodia. The investment objective was discussed during a meeting between the Secretary General of the […]
In Germany, ArcelorMittal Europe recently announced that, regrettably, it cannot proceed with its previously announced DRI and EAF plans for the decarbonization of its flat steelmaking sites in Bremen and Eisenhüttenstadt. ArcelorMittal had already stated in November 2024 that it was unable to take final investment decisions on constructing new DRI-EAF assets in Europe, given that […]
In Illinois, low carbon fuel policies are intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation. However, rigid carbon intensity (CI) accounting procedures in current policies may limit CI responsiveness across candidate sites and facilities. Work published in the journal ACS Sustainable Resource Management by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champagne examines a hypothetical […]
