In Denmark, bio-based aviation fuel reduces the number of ultrafine particles that are emitted from the aircraft engines, thereby improving air quality. This is one of the conclusions drawn from a large-scale international study using a SAS aircraft at Copenhagen Airport. Researchers measured an aircraft with 34 percent bio-based fuel (known as Sustainable Aviation Fuel, […]
In the Philippines, CNN Philippines reports the country plans to raise its voluntary ethanol blend to 20% from the current 10% after the new rules are approved before year’s end.

As of October 16, biomass-based diesel RINs (D4 RINs) were $0.90, and ethanol RINs (D6 RINs) were $0.89; […]
In the UK, Johnson Matthey and bp have signed a licensing and engineering agreement for Johnson Matthey’s LCH technology at bp’s proposed flagship low carbon (blue) hydrogen facility in Teesside, H2Teesside. Industry in the Tees Valley accounts for 64% of total local CO₂ emissions, compared to 24% nationally. H2Teesside would help power and decarbonize local […]
In the Netherlands, Circularise and GoodFuels have publicly announced their project to digitize the biofuels record management process required for RED II compliance. Throughout this innovative project, GoodFuels and FincoEnergies shared their knowledge on bookkeeping processes with Circularise to expand its MassBalancer traceability software suite to include the biofuels supply chain, adding ISCC EU certification […]
