In China, the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) into carbon-based fuels provides a promising strategy to mitigate CO2 emission and promotes the utilization of renewable energy. The Cn (n≥2) liquid products are desirable because of their high energy densities and ease of storage. However, manipulation of C-C coupling pathway remains a challenge due to the limited mechanistic understanding. […]
In California, Courthouse News Services reports AltAir Paramount wants to expand its biorefinery but a Superior Court judge said last week he is likely to put a halt on it because he seems to be in agreement with environmental groups who are concerned about the facility’s close proximity to residential areas.

In Texas, Argus has launched daily prices for renewable diesel in California, complementing its existing suite of renewable diesel prices, which spans Asia, Europe and the US west coast. Renewable diesel, also known as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), is chemically identical to conventional road diesel and can be used as a “drop-in” fuel to replace fossil […]
In Canada, Hydron Energy Inc. has received a grant from the Natural Gas Innovation Fund (NGIF). Hydron has developed a first-of-a-kind gas upgrader, the INTRUPTor, to produce low cost renewable fuels such as renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas, as well as clean hydrogen production from syngas. The INTRUPTor™ operates in ambient conditions and therefore […]
In Belgium, ArcelorMittal announces the first industrial production of ethanol at its Steelanol plant, Europe’s first carbon capture and utilization (CCU) project. This historic milestone was achieved on 7 November 2023, at ArcelorMittal Belgium’s Gent plant. The first industrial-scale production is a significant step in the journey to the full commissioning of the Steelanol plant. […]
In the Netherlands, OCI Global is supplying Röhm, a leading manufacturer of methacrylates, with bio-ammonia for the production of methyl methacrylate (MMA), an important precursor for PLEXIGLAS – the world’s most popular brand of acrylic glass. This week, OCI Global delivered a shipment of bio-ammonia to Röhm in a pioneering step to help reduce the […]
In the UAE, Jetex is the first to offer SAF to customers in the United Arab Emirates.
