Roughly half of shipments went to Canada and the European Union, both of which recorded month-on-month declines that were offset by rebounds in several other major markets. Canada remained the leading destination, importing 66.4 […]
In Maryland, Atlantic Biomass integrated biomass-ethanol-SAF process, which was the original focus of its work, can simultaneously be used to produce a high purity SAF syngas feedstock. This creates a Dual Pathway system that can nearly double biomass to SAF yields from about 42 percent to 79 percent without adding biomass cleaning, syngas scrubbing, or other […]
In Switzerland, global sustainable aviation fuel production must increase more than 150-fold by 2050 to meet projected aviation demand – a scale that bio-based fuels alone cannot deliver. Metafuels, a Swiss aviation technology company, is addressing this challenge with a synthetic methanol-to-jet pathway designed to unlock the volumes, economics, and carbon performance aviation will need […]
