In Brazil, biomethane has emerged as one of the most immediate, mature and cost-effective solutions for accelerating the decarbonization of road transport worldwide, particularly in the heavy-duty and long-haul segments. This is one of the key findings of Biomethane for Transport Decarbonization, a new international literature review commissioned by Instituto MBCBrasil and developed by researchers […]
In China, Goldwind Green Energy Chemicals (Xing’an League) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Goldwind Technology — one of the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers — set out to build a green hydrogen-to-methanol facility of unprecedented scale in Xing’an League, Inner Mongolia. The project uses wind power to produce green hydrogen, which is then combined with […]
In Sweden, Uniper has signed contracts with AFRY, Carbon Clean, Siemens Energy and Topsoe to begin the next development phase for NorthStarH2, a planned e-methanol production facility in Östersund aimed at helping decarbonize sectors such as transport and the chemical industry. The work will run for approximately one year. The contracts are worth more than […]
In the Czech Republic, Czech researchers from Charles University, Prague, have developed an advanced photocathode that helps convert the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into pure ethanol using sunlight. The new technology solves a long-standing problem of material degradation in water, achieves record conversion efficiency, and opens the way toward sustainable production of green fuels. In laboratory tests, the new photocathode […]
In Argentina, La Gaceta reports the new biofuels law was again put on hold in the Senate. The lack of consensus on the role that small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) of biodiesel will have prevented the necessary votes to be gathered to advance with the treatment of the project presented by Patricia Bullrich “and others” […]
In Washington, blending ethanol into the nation’s fuel supply has helped to substantially lower gasoline prices during the ongoing Iran conflict, a new study for the Renewable Fuels Association shows. Prepared by George Hoekstra, a 35-year veteran of the petroleum refining industry, the study concludes that the average E10 cost savings advantage has been 38 cents […]
In South Korea, GS Caltex will supply sustainable aviation fuel to the global logistics provider DHL Express, marking a further expansion of its SAF supply activities. Under the agreement, GS Caltex will supply SAF to aircraft operated by DHL Express that refuel in Korea over the next year. The total volume to be supplied to […]
In Germany, Bayer and Neste have finalized a commercial agreement to jointly scale Bayer’s newgold® winter canola. The collaboration will enable Bayer to significantly expand acres of winter canola in the Southern Great Plains of the US, strengthening the oilseed supply potential of lower-carbon-intensity feedstocks to meet the growing global demand for biofuels such as […]
In Brazil, with a deadline until September 21 for submitting proposals, Naturgy has launched its second 2026 Public Call for the purchase of natural gas and biomethane in the state of São Paulo. The initiative is part of the distributor’s strategy to ensure greater security and predictability in supply, seek more competitive conditions for gas […]
In New York state, the new biomethane production facility developed by Casella Waste Systems and Waga Energy at the Hyland Landfill in Angelica, New York, is now operational. Using Waga Energy’s patented WAGABOX® technology, the facility upgrades landfill gas into pipeline-quality biomethane. With an installed processing capacity of 3,000 SCFM, it can generate up to […]
