In Ireland, Gas Networks Ireland has signed an agreement with Evergreen Agricultural Enterprises to connect a new €50 million biomethane production plant in Monasterevin, Co Kildare directly to the national gas network. This landmark anaerobic digestion facility will convert by products from Ireland’s distilling industry, such as spent grains and other residues, into renewable biomethane […]
In Lithuania, over the weekend, the first virtual liquefaction operation of biomethane was successfully completed at the Klaipėda liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal operated by the international energy terminal operator KN Energies AB. The operation was conducted in cooperation with partners: bioLNG was loaded onto the Coral Energy vessel chartered by Nordic energy company Gasum […]
In the UK, HutanBio’s HBx Energy Platform is entering its next phase — commercial deployment—accelerating the move from pilot-scale trials to large-scale installations, with the first-of-a-kind (FOAK) 3–5 hectare desert facility scheduled to break ground in 2026. This project will demonstrate how HutanBio’s innovative microalgal bio-oil can be produced at costs comparable to used cooking […]
In Arizona, Applied Atomics and USA BioEnergy announced a strategic partnership that will accelerate industrial manufacturing and e-fuel production at the Bon Wier Industrial Park. The 1,400-acre Industrial Park is poised to become an energy hub, with Applied Atomics’ initial construction of a 100-megawatt atomic electric power plant, offering sufficient space for expansion up to […]
In Arkansas, FutureFuel believes there has been a slight improvement in the input market for biodiesel, partially driven by record soybean crops and limited export demand for soybeans, which together with greater clarity around the support provided to Biodiesel producers under IRA 45Z, it has become a bit more optimistic that, subject to market conditions, […]
In the Netherlands, VSPARTICLE announced the peer-reviewed validation of its nanoporous catalyst layer technology, confirming its potential to overcome the critical iridium bottleneck in proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. The collaborative project with Plug Power Inc. and the Center for Clean Hydrogen, directed by Professor Yushan Yan at the University of Delaware, achieved outstanding performance […]
In Kenya, Bloomberg reports Bleriot Group is producing sustainable aviation fuel from croton seed oil grown on 6,000 acres formerly used by a mining company that depleted the ore and is no longer apt for growing food crops.
