Low carbon fuel standards are on the march. New states, new regulations, much to consider — what states are on the opportunity map, what carbon targets are coming, what new pathways, what is the regulatory framework going to be in the “God is in the details” department? To help sort it out, LCFC executive director […]
Turquoise hydrogen is made by the process of decomposing methane (methane pyrolysis), which can be either fossil or biological in origin. Turquoise hydrogen is considered low carbon because it creates a solid carbon (carbon black) that can easily be separated from the process. Since the carbon falls out in a solid form, there is no […]
In Washington D.C. Reuters reported that production capacity of sustainable aviation fuel in the United States could grow by 1400% this year if all announced capacity additions come on line, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The EIA anticipates domestic production of biofuels will increase by about 50% in 2024, led by rising SAF […]
In this presentation, we explored the challenges faced in the transition to biobased chemicals and materials. We look at the molecules getting traction, market prices, new process technologies, the policy environment, carbon prices or the lack thereof and much more, including how stakeholders and finance are coming together to support the build-out. The Digest’s Jim […]
In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Banle Energy International, a Hong Kong subsidiary of marine fuel logistic company Banle Energy Group, has completed two B24 biofuel bunkering services for Taiwanese shipping company Yang Ming at Malaysia’s Port Klang, marking the port’s first biofuel bunkering supply. The B24 biofuel is a blend of used cooking […]
Transformational Sustainability Reporting has three components. First, the ”Science” – organizing and presenting key data that is needed for a variety of stakeholders. Second, the “Art” – preparing quality and timely reports such as Sustainability Reports, ESG Reports, and Feasibility Studies. Finally, there’s the “Voice”, consulting and marketing services to effectively communicate this data to […]
BioMADE is securing America’s future through biomanufacturing innovation, education, and collaboration It is a Manufacturing Innovation Institute initiated by the U.S. Department of Defense, and a Public-private partnership, with over 280 members, spanning large industry, innovative start-ups, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and more BioMADE’s Jack Starr presented these slides at ABLC 2024.
In Washington, the Energy Information Administration says production capacity of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the United States could increase from around 2,000 barrels per day (b/d) to nearly 30,000 b/d in 2024 if all announced capacity additions come on line. Developers expect Phillips 66’s Rodeo Renewed project to produce up to about 10,000 b/d […]
There are so many International Organizations and Partnerships, what do they do, who are they, how do they work together? There are Country-led initiatives on Technology, Policy, Sustainability, Finance. There’s UN, FAO, OECD, G20 activities plus multi-stakeholder groups wuch as IEA Bioenergy, To help sort it out, DOE’s Jim Spaeth presented these slides at ABLC 2024.
SixRing, a chemical technology company, uses patented modified acids to produce high purity cellulose, biogenic acetic acid, and low viscosity biocrude from lignocellulosic biomass at ambient pressure and temperature. Not a typical start-up, SixRing’s product development plan is to “shine lights down these high value pathways so that our licensees can generate the most value […]
