In Florida, NASCAR announced a landmark partnership with POET, the world’s largest producer of biofuels, naming the company the Official Bioethanol Partner of NASCAR. As part of the agreement, NASCAR will become the first major motorsports series to utilize zero-carbon bioethanol in combination with its existing fuel partner Sunoco, reinforcing the sport’s commitment to innovation, […]
In the UK, Heathrow is stepping up its industry-leading carbon-cutting program for a fifth consecutive year with an ambitious target to go 2% beyond the UK’s 3.6% SAF mandate in 2026. Combined, this would see up to 5.6% of all aviation fuel used at Heathrow to be SAF, equating to around 350,000 metric tons, backed […]
In the Netherlands, Technip Energies has been awarded a substantial contract by SkyNRG for the DSL-01 project, a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production facility to be developed in Delfzijl, the Netherlands. The award covers Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) for Europe’s first standalone greenfield SAF production facility. It follows the successful completion of […]

In Germany, Henkel Adhesive Technologies has entered into a strategic collaboration with Swedish chemical company Sekab to accelerate the transition from fossil-based to bio-based raw materials in adhesive production. The partnership focuses on replacing conventional ethyl acetate with a sustainable, bio-based alternative, supporting Henkel’s ambition to lead with innovation and sustainability in advanced industrial adhesive […]
In China, purification of bioethanol from fermentation broths is a critical step in renewable fuel production. Pervaporation has emerged as a sustainable and highly efficient method for bioethanol extraction. In this process, mixed matrix membranes containing specialized nanofillers can selectively separate ethanol from water. However, the performance of these membranes is often limited by the agglomeration […]
In France, Gaz Mobilite reports the government published on February 12 the third Multiannual Energy Programming (EPP 3) which specifies the trajectories of the various French energy sectors, including that of biomethane. While the text focuses on low-carbon electrification and the revival of nuclear power, it also sets targets for so-called “non-electric” sectors. Biomethane is […]
