In Washington, DTN reports Energy Information Administration data shows ethanol stocks continue to shrink as production remains below consumption. Production reached its highest since the COVID-19 pandemic began a year ago with an average production of 890,000 bpd but stocks fell to a 21-week low of 20.518 million barrels, more than 25% lower than the […]
In the UK, new study shows miscanthus can be grown in lower agricultural grade conditions – such as marginal land – due to their remarkable resilience and photosynthetic capacity at low temperatures. With very little known about its productivity in flooded and moisture-saturated soil conditions, researchers at the Earlham Institute in Norwich wanted to understand […]
In the UK, Ship and Bunker reports the International Marine Organization which has set strict requirements for decarbonization of marine fuel for 2030 says changes to the MARPOL Annex IV may need to be changed if the spread of biofuels use is going to continue due to their higher nitrogen emissions compared to fossil fuels. […]
In Illinois, United Airlines continues to lead the industry towards a more sustainable future with the launch of the first-of-its-kind Eco-Skies Alliance program. Working with the airline, more than a dozen leading global corporations will collectively contribute towards the purchase of approximately 3.4 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) this year. With its nearly 80% […]
In Canada, Vorsana Environmental Inc. announced the acquisition of NanosTech, a leader in developing nano-catalyst-based technologies for emerging clean energy markets. The acquisition strengthens Vorsana’s existing technology portfolio, and with NanosTech’s In-situ upgrading technology (ISUT), it will help ensure Canada exceeds its 2030 emission reduction targets. Along with Vorsana’s waste-to-biofuel and carbon capture technologies, it […]
In Washington state, Alaska Airlines and SkyNRG Americas announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) committing to increased investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The MOU builds on a long history of Alaska leadership advancing SAF and partners the airline with the global SAF pioneers at SkyNRG Americas. Under the MOU, SkyNRG Americas […]
In France, Waga Energy has been enlisted by The Mauricie Residual Materials Management Board (RGMRM) to deploy its innovative gas upgrading solution at the Saint-Étienne-des-Grès landfill, in Quebec. The green gas produced will be purchased by Énergir, the largest gas distribution company in the province, and injected into its gas grid onsite. This landfill gas-to-RNG project […]
In South Africa, Sasol Ltd (Sasol) announced it will work alongside a consortium comprising Linde PLC (Linde), ENERTRAG AG (ENERTRAG) and Navitas Holdings (Pty) Ltd (Navitas) – the LEN Consortium – to bid in concept for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) under the auspices of the German Federal Government’s H2Global auction platform. The […]
In Egypt, Business Today Egypt reports the petroleum and mineral resources minister has announced the development of a $100 million ethanol facility in Damietta Port that will produce 100,000 metric tons of renewable fuel annually. The project is being developed by the newly launched government-owned Egyptian Company for Bioethanol in an effort to reduce fuel […]
In California, teams from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Sandia National Laboratories have collaborated to develop a streamlined and efficient process for converting woody plant matter like forest overgrowth and agricultural waste – material that is currently burned either intentionally or unintentionally – into liquid biofuel. Their research was published recently in the […]
