In Indiana, converting aquaculture sludge with a natural microbial process into a viable renewable biofuel presents a mind-numbing chess match of biochemical variables. This process — anaerobic digestion — involves microbes operating in a no-oxygen environment. Purdue University researchers are steadily developing new strategies for controlling the complex variables of anaerobic digestion, a naturally occurring […]
In Belgium, the EU has set a clear path toward 2030 targets and an ambitious 90% net GHG reduction by 2040, a critical piece of the puzzle is missing: long-term, binding regulatory certainty for road transport. The European Biodiesel Board (EBB), representing biodiesel (FAME& HVO) and bioSAF producers in the EU, calls on the ministers […]
In the UK, Bulgarian producer Astra initiated a deal to buy Advanced Fame 0 fob ARA range from Italian company Adamant on Argus Open Markets (AOM) on 28 May, the first transaction for this grade since its launch on the price-discovery platform. Advanced Fame 0 is a biodiesel made from feedstocks considered “advanced” under German […]
In France, Technip Energies, Airbus, Safran and Tereos entered into an agreement to create Rebound, a joint venture to develop a large-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production project at the Port of Dunkirk, in Northern France. The project will use the Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ) technological pathway to produce approximately 160,000 tons of SAF per year, making […]
In South Korea, Utility Global and SAMJIN E&I announced an engineering services agreement for Utility’s H2Gen project in Daejeon, South Korea. This follows the recently announced strategic collaboration agreement with SAMJIN and enables engineering work to progress the project from front-end loading (FEL-1) through FEL-3 to the final investment decision (FID). Through this effort, Utility […]
In Belgium, the current scramble for biofuel feedstocks to combat high oil prices could see biofuel consumption globally rise by 30% this year and a staggering 70% by 2030, a new T&E study shows. This risks putting severe pressure on global food prices with vegetable oil prices already at a post-2022 peak. T&E warns governments […]
In Spain, FIEE SGR has secured a €60 million financing package to support the construction of Naturmet’s first three biomethane plants in Spain. The financing has been structured with the participation of BBVA, Santander, and Abanca, reflecting the growing appetite of the Spanish financial sector for renewable gas projects backed by strong fundamentals. This transaction […]
In Canada, on June 3, 2026, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources announced close to C$130 million in federal funding for 56 projects across Canada that will help advance the forest sector’s transformation. These projects will support the development of new low-carbon wood technologies, expand the use of mass timber in construction, support Indigenous […]
In India, Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd. (JISL) has commissioned a ~20,000 metric ton/annum high-tech industrial-scale biochar facility along with its partners in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, advancing climate-smart agriculture, circular manufacturing, and engineered carbon removal at commercial scale. JISL has worked with global experts in the field to design and implement this pioneering project. With a processing […]
In Massachusetts, earlier this year, the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) launched a major study to examine the sustainable fuel options for aviation, international shipping, long-haul trucking, and freight rail. More than one-tenth of the world’s climate-warming greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to energy comes from these hard-to-decarbonize forms of transportation. And that fraction continues to […]
