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 […]
In Japan, on April 17, 2026, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) proposed default greenhouse gas (GHG) emission values for three additional ethanol sources. Currently, METI has established GHG emission values for U.S. corn and Brazilian sugarcane ethanol. The three new additions are ethanol derived from Brazilian corn, Thai sugarcane, and Thai cassava. […]
In the Netherlands, the vessel Laura Mærsk reached a stepping stone in fuel trials Maersk’s first dual‑fuel vessel operated on 100% ethanol for the second time – but this time, with an important difference. The bunkering, which took place in Rotterdam, involved larger‑scale delivery by barge, allowing the company to test operational handling, supply chains […]
In Brazil, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) released estimates showing that global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production is expected to reach around 2.4 million metric tons in 2026, representing just 0.8% of aviation fuel use, at a cost to airlines of $4.3 billion. “It looks to be another disappointing year for SAF production. Five […]
In Belgium, European Biodiesel Board (EBB) has published its 2025-2026 Statistical Report, providing a comprehensive overview of biodiesel production, consumption, feedstock use, and trade developments across the EU. As the leading industry association for European biodiesel (FAME & HVO) and bioSAF (HEFA) producers, EBB’s report offers insights into the role of biodiesel and bioSAF in […]
In Texas, Cemvita announced the successful completion of a 75,000-liter industrial fermentation campaign at Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, achieving target technical metrics for the production of FermOil™ from industrial crude glycerin. The milestone validates the scalability of Cemvita’s biomanufacturing platform. Over the past several years, Cemvita advanced the process through multiple scale-up stages, progressing […]
In Belgium, production and use of renewable ethanol from ePURE members and other EU producers reduced greenhouse-gas emissions by an average of nearly 82% compared to fossil fuels in 2025, according to newly certified data. This record-high sustainability score for renewable ethanol represents a 16-year trend of European renewable ethanol approaching carbon-neutrality. It also confirms […]
In Malaysia, TMD Energy Limited announced a two-year extension of its Memorandum of Agreement with bioenergy firm Double Corporate Sdn Bhd to explore strategic collaboration for the EU and Asia markets. Initially signed on June 18, 2025, the MOA establishes a framework for a proposed collaboration on sustainable bioenergy fuel solutions by both parties. While […]
