At the center of the collaboration is INERATEC’s newly developed hydrocracking process, designed to upgrade Fischer-Tropsch waxes from Power-to-Liquid production into high-value, drop-in-ready fuels and chemicals. Zeopore’s unique meso-zeolite catalyst technology further […]
In Germany, team from TU Bergakademie Freiberg has now presented a fully compostable CPU alternative made from the mycelium of the Aspergillus niger fungus, a byproduct of industrial citric acid production. Instead of disposing of this biomass waste, the team processes it into a plastic-like material through an innovative process involving molding and air-drying, resulting […]
In Germany, Uniper and Q1 Energie AG concluded an agreement regarding the supply of bio-LNG. The renewable fuel is made available for road transport in several German states via the Q1 bio-LNG-net. This cooperation marks the first business relationship between the two companies and emphasizes the common goal of continuing to advance low-emission fuel solutions […]
In Germany, biotech silk materials firm AMSilk GmbH has expanded its partnership with Ajinomoto Foods Europe to include a long-term manufacturing and supply agreement. Under the agreement, AFE will establish a dedicated line for producing AMSilk’s silk proteins at its biomanufacturing site in Nesle, France.

In Germany, INNOVENT investigated in a joint research project with febana Feinmechanische Baugruppen GmbH how electromechanical assemblies with components made of plastic and metal can also be composed of bio- and recycled plastics. These electromechanical assemblies are used e.g. used as plug or sensor housings in part with safety relevance in industrial applications and contain […]
In Germany, Deutsche Bank has invested in the deployment of approximately 1,600 metric tons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) with Lufthansa Group. Estimated emissions reduction are approximately 5,500 tons of CO₂ compared to conventional kerosene. Around 1,700 companies worldwide invested in SAF with Lufthansa Group in 2025. Deutsche Bank is investing in the deployment of […]
In Germany, EnviTec Biogas plans to invest about €100 million ($117 million) by 2029 to expand biomethane production, converting existing biogas plants and building new facilities as it shifts away from electricity generation toward renewable gas. The strategy follows the company’s success in Germany’s latest renewable energy auctions, securing extended support for 16 MW of […]
In Germany, biodiesel could become significantly more important in inland navigation in the future. According to a list compiled by the Association Quality Management Biodiesel (AGQM), many marine engines are already approved for operation with pure biodiesel (B100) or higher biodiesel blends such as B20 and B30. The list was published jointly with several German […]
