In Brazil, expansion of ethanol production from Brazil’s second-crop corn could support the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) while potentially limiting global land-use change and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This is the conclusion of a new study led by Agroicone and published in Agricultural Economics. The research analyzes how rising demand for corn […]
In the UK, Zemo Partnership recently announced the launch of RFAS Aviation, a new voluntary assurance scheme designed to provide independent verification of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) across the UK supply chain. The scheme responds to a critical industry need for a harmonized approach to verifying SAF traceability in the downstream fuel supply chain. The […]
In Malaysia, a new study from Arak University offers a detailed examination of palm biodiesel’s role in curbing transport-related carbon dioxide emissions in Malaysia. The research analyzed data from 1990 to 2019 to determine the real-world effect of this biofuel. The findings show that while biodiesel offers a small long-term benefit, its immediate impact is […]
In Brazil, CNN reports that last week the government reinforced the requirement of national origin of biodiesel used in the mandatory mixture of diesel. The decision was taken by the CNPE (National Council of Energy Policy) and recognizes as of interest to energy policy that all biodiesel used in diesel B is produced by units […]
In Washington, Brownfield Ag News reports Energy Information Administration data shows ethanol production slid last week to 1.075 million barrels, the lowest in two months but still slightly higher than the same time last year. The lower level may be due to earlier seasonal maitenance as most ethanol plants were still estimated to be running […]
In the UK, Velocys recently announced the successful commissioning of a Fischer–Tropsch (FT) system at Sustainable Molecules Ltd’s (SuMo) Sustainable Molecules Facility (SMF) in Wednesbury, England. The system is now online and operating as expected, marking an important step in demonstrating the integration of advanced gasification and FT synthesis technologies within a waste-to-fuels pathway. This […]
In France, INERATEC and the French industrial group TERTU have formed the joint venture T.H2, marking a major step toward the development of a common synthetic fuel production plant to be located near Caen in Normandy.
