In California, Aemetis, Inc. has received an allocation of $10.5 million of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under the first phase of IRA Section 48C awards. The Aemetis Five Year Plan projects that Aemetis will receive a total of $450 million […]
In California, the Biden administration’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge could launch the most important national-level biofuel policy of the next decade. Stakeholders and regulators are pressuring airlines to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, commercially viable battery and fuel-cell airplanes do not exist yet because the energy needs of commercial flights far exceed current technology. […]
In California, Ameresco, Inc. has entered into a nearly $140M contract to develop and construct an advanced technology biogas cogeneration facility for the Sacramento Area Sewer District located at the EchoWater Resource Recovery Facility (EchoWater Facility) near Elk Grove, California. This on-site renewable energy facility will beneficially utilize biogas (methane), a byproduct of the EchoWater […]
In California, finding viable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics and microplastics has never been more important. New research from scientists at the University of California San Diego and materials-science company Algenesis shows that their plant-based polymers biodegrade — even at the microplastic level — in under seven months. The paper, whose authors are all UC […]
In California, California Ethanol + Power (CE+P) has named international sugar and agribusiness consultant Booker Tate Ltd. to help guide sugarcane cultivation plans and ethanol production for Sugar Valley Energy, an approximately $650 Million 160-acre sugarcane ethanol refinery and bioenergy facility planned near Brawley in Imperial County. Booker Tate will supply the Sugar Valley Energy […]
In California, Phillips 66 announced a major milestone in its conversion of the San Francisco refinery into the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex, expanding commercial scale production of renewable diesel.

In California, Checkerspot, a biotechnology company developing renewable oils through fermentation of microalgae, has signed a joint development agreement with AAK aimed at structuring fats and oils. AAK is a leader in plant-based oils and fats and its products are used in a wide variety of applications in the food, confectionery, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical and […]
In California, until now, sugarcane’s complicated genetics made it the last major crop without a complete and highly accurate genome. Scientists have developed and combined multiple techniques to successfully map out sugarcane’s genetic code. With that map, they were able to verify the specific location that provides resistance to the impactful brown rust disease that, […]
