The presentation details Vertimass’ proprietary CADO (Consolidated Alcohol Deoxygenation and Oligomerization) technology, a 1-step catalytic process that transforms diverse alcohols into sustainable fuels like SAF, gasoline, and diesel. The presentation, by John Hannon, highlights the promise of economically viable and environmentally sound green fuels that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure. With growing SAF demand and […]
This address by Gevo CEO Pat Gruber emphasizes the power of photosynthesis for food and fuels and their commitment to sustainability through a triple bottom line approach. They highlight their experience in integrating agricultural and chemical/fuels worlds, using fermentation for selective synthesis, and their pioneering work in alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) fuel technologies. Gevo’s proprietary ATJ technologies […]
This presentation desk introduces World Energy as a low-carbon solutions pioneer working with hard-to-abate sectors to meet net-zero commitments through sustainable aviation fuel, green hydrogen, and advanced biofuels. Their SAF production uses HEFA technology with a focus on waste and sustainable feedstocks, achieving significant lifecycle emissions reductions. World Energy prioritizes feedstocks that do not compete […]
This presentation from Sandia National Laboratories summarizes a workshop on biorefinery integration held in October 2025. The objectives were to develop a shared vision for the refinery of the future and identify R&D needs for processing both bio-based and fossil feedstocks. Recommendations from industry and research attendees included developing centralized lab facilities, analytical methods for […]
This presentation deck from ABLC highlights their position as a pioneering technology company focused on 2nd generation biofuels from agricultural residues. They emphasize that 2G biofuels offer a practical path to net-zero in hard-to-electrify sectors like aviation and, when combined with carbon capture and storage, can actively remove CO2. Iogen notes that despite early challenges, […]
This presentation from NexantECA focuses on decarbonizing marine shipping, noting its CO2 emissions and the need for alternative fuels to meet IMO GHG reduction targets. NexantECA projects a shift from conventional fuels like HSFO and VLSFO to lower carbon intensity options such as LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, and methanol by 2050. The guide also addresses the […]
Ariel Green, a division of Ariel Re/Lloyd’s, offers Technology Performance Insurance (TPI) to de-risk bioeconomy and clean energy projects. Tad Dritz emphasized that bioeconomy projects are risky. TPI provides guarantee backstops, startup repair cover, and long-term output cover, validating technology risk at all project stages. They offer capacity up to USD$200 million per risk.
Global Bioenergies highlighted its unique, ASTM-certified biological process for SAF production from renewable resources. They focus on bio-SAF for the US and e-SAF for Europe. Their technology offers fewer steps than competitors. The niche cosmetics market serves as a stepping stone to scale up their SAF process.
DG Fuels presented its patented technology for high carbon conversion SAF production, boasting zero CI and low costs. Their Louisiana project is nearing FID in 2025, with presold capacity. DG Fuels aims for the lowest unit production cost globally, envisioning over 20 sites utilizing cellulosic biomass and hydrogen to produce significant SAF volumes.
CAAFI’s Steve Csonka discussed advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) development through a revised Public Private Partnership. He highlighted the U.S. need for diverse energy and the ongoing interest of agencies like the DOE and USDA in SAF commercialization. The focus is on making SAF affordable through industry commitments and a new PPP effort supporting research […]
