In Georgia, Bloomberg reports Delta Airlines has quietly shifted its ambitious climate goals of 10% sustainable aviation fuel by 2030 and net zero by 2050 to an aspiration rather than a goal as such. While the Biden Administration was a vocal supporter of SAF, the same hasn’t been for the Trump Administration which has led […]
In Georgia, researchers have developed an inexpensive way to make biodiesel from materials found along the banks of their Louisiana bayou: algae and oyster shells. The researchers will present their results at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). ACS Spring 2026 is being held March 22-26; it features nearly 11,000 presentations on a […]
In South Korea, femtech startup Inertia has begun selling its sanitary napkins, which replace petroleum-based super absorbent polymers with biobased alternatives, in the US market.

In Georgia, for years, Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) has been the gold standard for suppressing and extinguishing petroleum-based fires. But its effectiveness has come with a cost: the presence of PFAS, so-called “forever chemicals” that don’t break down and are linked to health and environmental risks. One potential contender to replace the PFAS-laden foam comes […]
In Georgia, Eazy Grease announced completion of its strategic merger with Liquid Recovery Solutions, establishing the company as the emerging leader in multi-regional used cooking oil collection with a 9-state operational platform.

In Georgia, GranBio LLC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc to jointly explore the development of a small-scale commercial cellulosic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) facility co-located at RYAM’s Jesup, Georgia site. Under the agreement, GranBio will lead the proposed project to deploy its proprietary AVAP® technology to convert lignocellulosic biomass […]
In Georgia, Bloomberg reports that LanzaJet plans to open its delayed $200 million ethanol-to-jet facility in September.
