In Washington, according to Energy Information Administration data analyzed by the Renewable Fuels Association for the week ending January 20, ethanol production ticked up 0.4 percent to 1.012 million b/d, equivalent to 42.50 million gallons daily. Production was 2.2 percent lower than the same week last year but 0.2 percent above the five-year average for […]
In California, Yosemite Clean Energy was selected to receive two $500,000 Forest Biomass to Carbon-Negative Biofuels grants from the California Department of Conservation. The DOC grant program is a vote of confidence for forest biomass to biofuels projects in the state and will increase the pace and scale of biofuels development. The projects funded under […]
In South Dakota, following Gevo’s groundbreaking ceremony in September 2022, progress continues at the Lake Preston, South Dakota, Net-Zero location. FEED work is substantially complete and detailed engineering continues. Equipment procurement is expected to begin soon and detailed planning for this year’s construction ramp up has commenced. The project remains on schedule for a 2025 […]
In Argentina, Clarín reports that according to a report by the Rosario Stock Exchange (BCR) carried out by Julio Calzada and Guido D’Angelo, the HVO consumed in the first nine months of 2022 in the United States far exceeded that of all of 2021 and 2022 would have closed with a volume of consumption between […]
In Wisconsin, when you drive past mile after mile of Wisconsin corn fields, you may not realize that a quarter of all that corn—about a million acres—is used to produce ethanol. But a new analysis from Clean Wisconsin reveals that when it comes to land use, the state could reap far more energy from solar. […]
In Sweden, biofuels like HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) can be used by diesel engines without major engine modifications. They can be a carbon-neutral alternative if produced from the right biomass, but they must still be cleaned effectively to prevent performance issues and expensive engine wear. In a marine industry […]
In Germany, e-fuels can make a decisive contribution to making the global economy independent of fossil crude oil and at the same time CO2-neutral and renewable. The refuel.green team is developing a particularly innovative technology that can reduce the production cost of e-fuels from currently more than €2.50/L to €1/L. The start-up has now closed […]
In France, Reuters reports that with an increase in demand for E85 in 2022, ethanol sales rose 13% to 1.47 million cubic meters compared to 1.30 million cubic meters the year prior. More than half of that volume was a result of E85 with sales of the higher blend increasing by almost 83% to 854,000 […]
In Canada, the Calgary Herald newspaper reports that the City of Calgary has given land use approval to the proposed C$1.2B Future Energy Park that Green Impact Partners is developing in the southeast part of the city. The facility is meant to turn non-food-grade wheat into 300 million liters of ethanol, 3.5 million MMBtu of […]
In Norway, Topsoe and Fidelis New Energy have entered into a global alliance for technology used for producing carbon neutral hydrogen. The alliance pairs Topsoe’s hydrogen process portfolio with FidelisH2™ technology for reduction of lifecycle carbon emissions in hydrogen production. Combined, the alliance solution enables the production of hydrogen from natural gas with a lifecycle […]
