In California, NewYork GreenCloud (NYGC) announced the acquisition of the Buena Vista Biomass Power (BVBP) facility in Ione, California. The site will become NYGC’s first large-scale carbon negative AI Factory, integrating biomass-to-pyrolysis energy systems with behind-the-meter, liquid-cooled AI compute. The redevelopment—led jointly by NYGC and BucSha Energy, the project’s biomass-to-pyrolysis engineering partner—will convert the 18MW […]
In California, Alchemyca announced the launch of its flagship digital platform, Claritix™, the industry’s first solution that predicts biogas output from organic waste feedstocks in real time and gives operators precise, actionable control over digester performance. Anaerobic digestion underperforms mainly due to limited visibility and predictive tools for operators. Many plants still lack real time […]
In California, Enpower Corp. closed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Wadham Energy Limited Partnership on November 21, 2025. The buyer is High Rock Energy LLC and HR Energy GP, collectively referred to as the High Rock Energy Group. The acquiring entities are members of an infrastructure fund focused on power and water projects […]
In California, Clean Fuels Alliance America welcomed a ruling by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to sunset the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) mitigation requirement for biodiesel blends up to B20 (20% biodiesel) in the Alternative Diesel Fuel (ADF) regulation. Clean Fuels first called for sunsetting the B20 restrictions in the ADF in 2022, after […]
In California, Aemetis Biogas LLC has received funds from the sale of $17 million of federal clean energy tax credits, including a Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit (PTC) and a Section 48 Investment Tax Credit (ITC). The transaction included approximately $12 million for a Section 48 ITC generated from the construction of a dairy […]
In California, DevvStream Corp., Southern Energy Renewables Inc. and XCF Global, Inc. recently announced a non-binding tripartite memorandum of understanding to jointly explore the potential development of a next-generation low-carbon fuels platform designed to accelerate sustainable aviation fuel adoption, expand domestic capacity, and integrate environmental-attribute monetization into a unified customer offering. The goal of the […]
In California, agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce more of what we want, and survive drought, pests, and infection. For millennia, we did it with selective breeding. More recently, we advanced to genetic engineering. But even with today’s ultra-fast sequencing […]
In California, Clean Energy Technologies announced a dedicated HTAP™ based platform designed for integration with existing and planned anaerobic digestion (AD) and renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities. The solution enables AD operators to convert hard-to-digest biomass and AD digestate into additional renewable energy and carbon-rich biochar, improving the overall efficiency and economics of RNG production. […]
In California, a University of San Diego graduate student has won a $15,000 scholarship to advance her pineapple leaf hair ties. Sage Dobby, who cofounded Piña Designs based on the idea, won the award after pitching the biodegradable solution to USD’s 7th Annual Fowler Business Concept Challenge. “We wanted to create a product that helped […]
In Santa Cruz, California, Swellcycle is working to make surfboards more earth- and ocean-friendly by leveraging 3D printing and renewable and recycled materials. Most surfboards are carved out of blocks of petroleum-based foam, and estimates suggest nearly half of the foam goes to waste. Swellcycle’s boards, however, are made from bioplastic 3-D printed filament made […]
