In India, Money Control reports Chhattisgarh wants to set up ethanol production from rice paddy waste in an effort to boost local fuel production as corn and sugarcane aren’t widely available in the state. Chhattisgarh is known as the rice bowl of India. The idea is to set up six hubs in key rice areas […]
In Colorado, as much as one-third of the carbon in sugar is lost as carbon dioxide (CO2) during fermentation processes that use biomass to make renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). That waste CO2 translates into notable consequences for biorefiners scrambling to meet demand for low-carbon biofuels. Less carbon makes it into the fuel, […]
In Washington, U.S. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kan.) led several of their colleagues in sending a letter to President Biden requesting a meeting with him and representatives of his cabinet to discuss the Renewable Fuel Standard and promote biofuels as a key solution for America’s energy and climate agenda. The Biden […]
In Mexico, Metrobús has put into circulation two buses on Line 2, which will use a mixture of diesel and biofuel produced at the Central de Abastos in Mexico City from waste. This is a pilot test that will be launched in a total of 10 buses in all the lines of the system during […]
