In California, agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce more of what we want, and survive drought, pests, and infection. For millennia, we did it with selective breeding. More recently, we advanced to genetic engineering. But even with today’s ultra-fast sequencing […]
In Colorado, Growth Energy filed briefs in the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 10th and 11th Circuits urging the courts to reject attempts by refiners to circumvent recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent on venue by bringing challenges to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) August 2025 small refinery exemption (SRE) decision in those two […]
In Hawaii, Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines have joined Par Hawaii to invest in pioneering the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Hawaiʻi using locally grown agriculture feedstock to reduce aviation carbon emissions. This initiative will enable SAF production for more sustainable future flying and deliver economic benefits through the creation of a new […]
In Brazil, Wärtsilä will supply the main engines for two new pusher tugs being built for Brazilian operator AMAGGI. The ships are under construction at the Beconal shipyard, located in Manaus, Brazil, and are designed with a focus on decarbonized operations. The engines will run on biodiesel, a capability that was a key factor in […]
In Sweden, according to the climate policy goals, Sweden must have net zero emissions by 2045 and then negative emissions of greenhouse gases. In order to achieve negative emissions, additional measures are also required. One way is to separate carbon dioxide from biogenic origin, so-called bio-CCS, from, for example, various industrial processes or combustion plants […]
In Canada, Tidewater Renewables Ltd. has safely completed the planned seven-day outage to reinstall the repaired component at the Corporation’s renewable diesel and renewable hydrogen complex (located in Prince George, British Columbia.

In Switzerland, Kuehne+Nagel and Swiss International Air Lines are strengthening their strategic partnership to drive more sustainable aviation. With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, both companies will collaborate on sustainability projects, with a particular focus on innovative technologies to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The partnership centres on a shared commitment to […]
In Missouri, a recent study commissioned by Clean Fuels Alliance America and Farmers Fueling the Future finds that California’s indirect land use change (ILUC) assumptions for U.S. soy-based biodiesel and renewable diesel are outdated lacking modern agricultural practices and current science. The analysis, Land Use Change Emissions Associated with Soybeans: Considerations for California’s LCFS, conducted […]
In Finland, ATOBA Energy and Flying Forest announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) for a long-term SAF offtake agreement. This strategic partnership will support Flying Forest’s groundbreaking project in Finland while advancing ATOBA’s mission to bridge the gap between SAF producers and airlines. Flying Forest’s innovative project, located in Iisalmi, Finland, will […]
In the UK, two new research publications from experts at Loughborough University have demonstrated how coffee waste can be used to clean water. Published in Biomass and Bioenergy and Clean Technologies, the studies showcase how coffee waste could be used effectively to filter heavy metals, such as lead, copper and zinc, from water. Coffee is […]
