In Italy, all 100 vehicles in the Itabus fleet run on Enilive’s HVOlution diesel, a biofuel made from 100% renewable raw materials (in accordance with the European Renewable Energy Directive). In 2025, Itabus vehicles traveled approximately 20 million kilometers using 5.7 million liters of Enilive fuel, 3 million of which were HVOlution. The average diesel […]
In the Netherlands, FrieslandCampina, through a collaboration with Future Fuels, member dairy farmers can now more easily switch to renewable diesel (HVO100). This fuel emits up to 90 percent less CO₂ than conventional diesel. Promoting the use of renewable diesel is part of a partnership between FrieslandCampina and Future Fuels. For a period of one […]
In Australia, Australian Bus and Coach report Irizar and Scania have teamed up to build a hybrid electric bus that can run on B100 or HVO100 as bus operators in the country seek a bridge to transition to net zero transportation on their way to going fully electric without yet having to invest in new […]
In Texas, Anew Climate and Avenir announced the successful completion of their first joint liquefied biomethane (Bio-LNG) bunkering operation at the LNG terminal in the Port of Klaipeda, Lithuania, operated by KN Energies. During the operation, Anew supplied certified waste-based Bio-LNG to an Avenir vessel, which transported the product to Sweden for use by vessels […]
In the UK, Acelen Renewables and Finboot have signed an agreement to develop a data infrastructure for the Brazilian company’s renewable fuel production. With an initial duration of 12 months, the project includes the provision of Finboot’s MARCO Track & Trace, including the modeling of the phases of the production chain, with a focus on […]
