In South Korea, the KIGAM team developed Flame Plasma Pyrolysis (FPP), a process that directly treats biomass containing approximately 55% moisture under atmospheric-pressure plasma conditions. The system generates plasma flames at temperatures of approximately 800–900°C through the combustion of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed air. Unlike conventional pyrolysis technologies, the process eliminates the need […]

In Washington, recent release of the USDA’s final rule on Regenerative Agricultural Biofuel Feedstocks, together with the President’s Executive Order Advancing the Future of Agriculture, represents a significant step forward for science-based policy that rewards farmers who adopt innovative practices, reduces dependence on imported agricultural inputs and strengthens America’s position as the global leader in […]
In Sweden, Domsjö Fabriker is moving forward with plans to further develop its existing operations at High Coast Innovation Park in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. The project has applied for a subsidy from Klimatklivet, Sweden’s national climate investment program, to upgrade biogas from industrial processes into liquefied biogas, LBG, which can replace fossil diesel in heavy transport. […]
