In Michigan, Neogen Corporation has launched the new CelluSmart technology from Megazyme by Neogen for the measurement of cellulosic ethanol from biofuel production. In creating this industry-first technology, Neogen improved upon the previous National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) procedure, introducing a yeast-degrading cocktail (YDC). With these improvements, CelluSmart allows the ethanol industry to fully realize […]
In Nevada, Comstock Inc. announced advances on amended agreements with RenFuel K2B AB involving the development of RenFuel’s pre-existing, planned biorefinery project at a pulp and paper mill in Sweden. The amendments also anticipate expanding the scope of the Comstock partnership with RenFuel in the European markets. These amendments support the liquidation of RenFuel K2B […]
In the UK, Zero has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus to advance the development of synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (eSAF) and enable commercial-scale adoption of the technology by combining their unique resources and expertise. Both companies have made significant contributions to the field – Zero secured the Guinness World Records® title of […]
In France, TotalEnergies and Air Products have signed a 15-year agreement for the annual supply in Europe of 70,000 tons of green hydrogen starting in 2030. This first long-term deal follows TotalEnergies’ call for tenders for the supply of 500,000 tons per year of green hydrogen to decarbonize TotalEnergies’ European refineries. Under the agreement, Air […]
In California, Transport Project (TTP) and Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition) – with partner California Renewable Transportation Alliance –announced that California fleets fueled with bio-CNG achieved carbon-negativity in their transportation operations last calendar year for the fourth straight year. Renewable natural gas (RNG) accounted for 97% of all on-road fuel used in natural […]
In Canada, EverWind Fuels released new site renderings for its world-scale green fuels project in development on the Burin Peninsula in Newfoundland & Labrador.

In Colorado, NREL says building biocrude facilities next to existing refineries—instead of closer to biomass sources—can lower GHG emissions by as much as 150% depending on the exact infrastructure design. That is a striking reduction in emissions, and the researchers detail how industry engineers might achieve it with smart designs that let the facilities share […]
In Washington, the Institute for Energy Research says the biomass-based renewable fuel industry believed that if the renewable and biodiesel plants were built, the EPA would mandate their use, which did not happen as the Biden administration turned to its climate agenda to electrify everything and to heavily incentivize wind and solar power. There is […]
