In Australia, bioenergy could play a significant role in reducing emissions, stimulating the Australian economy and creating jobs in regional areas, according to the Australian Renewable Energy Agency’s (ARENA) Bioenergy Roadmap. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has released its Bioenergy Roadmap which lays out a vision for a sustainable bioenergy industry that can help […]
In Canada, ITOCO INC. has selected LATINCHOICE – UNIPESSOAL LDA. in Portugal to Joint Venture as it expands its Nopal Cactus Carbon Capture Program internationally. The ITOCO Nopal Cactus Carbon Capture Program has been developed with great success in Mexico. The program captures Carbon from the atmosphere permanently via the Nopal Cactus, while at the […]
In the UAE, after commissioning the 100 metric ton per day capacity refinery in Jebel-Ali Free Zone early this year, the deliveries of sustainable, waste-to-energy-based biodiesel made in the UAE have started to flow to Europe, where EU mandates require traffic diesel fuel to have a minimum bio component blended onto it. Serving customers in […]
In Brazil, FS has announced its expansion in Mato Grosso and the construction of its third plant, located in Primavera do Leste, MT. The plant, located in Primavera do Leste, will have an investment of $420 million generating approximately 8,000 indirect jobs during the construction phase and 500 direct and indirect jobs during its operation. […]
In Canada, the St. Thomas Times Journal reports Woodland Biofuels is looking at other biomass-based products than ethanol as it looks to scale up in Sarnia now that they’re becoming more competitive with fossil-based products. RNG and carbon-negative hydrogen are amongst the potential options but whether or not carbon sequestration will be possible at Sarnia […]
In the UAE, Emirates and GE Aviation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a program that will see an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER, powered by GE90 engines, conduct a test flight using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by the end of 2022. A milestone collaboration for both Emirates and GE Aviation, the 100% […]
