In South Korea, researchers from Chonnam National University, South Korea have found that the environmental impact of biodiesel varies dramatically depending on its feedstock and production pathway. Using a life-cycle assessment of five biodiesel feedstocks, the study published in Applied Energy, shows why climate emissions and air pollution both need to be considered when evaluating […]
In Mozambique, the Diario Economico reports the consortium responsible for the Mozambique LNG project intends to install, in the district of Palma, in Cabo Delgado, an industrial unit with capacity to produce about 5,000 metric tons of coconut biodiesel per year, intended for the supply of liquefied natural gas operations.

In South Korea, not all biodiesel is equally sustainable. Its environmental impact depends strongly on the feedstock used and the way it is produced. This creates a complex decision-making landscape for policymakers and stakeholders, necessitating comprehensive life-cycle assessments (LCAs) of different biodiesel pathways. Although previous LCAs have compared biodiesel pathways, most have focused primarily on […]
In Belgium, Ship and Bunker reports Sunoil Biodiesel has received approval to supply sustainable biofuels in Belgium, expanding the European markets where the Netherlands-based producer can operate.
