In North Carolina, BASF and Arva announced a strategic collaboration to help biofuel producers and farmers capture the full value of the Clean Fuel Production Credit (Section 45Z) once the implementing regulations are finalized. Together, the companies will connect biorefineries with verified low-carbon intensity (CI) grainthrough both farmer-direct and commercial channels, rewarding farmers for their […]
In North Carolina, BASF and Nutrien Ltd.® announced a strategic collaboration designed to help farmers gain more value from sustainable farming practices already in use. Under this collaboration, Nutrien agronomists will work directly with growers to optimize yield potential using practical, on-farm sustainability practices. BASF digital tools – xarvio® FIELD MANAGER and xarvio BIOENERGY – […]
In North Carolina, researchers from North Carolina State University have successfully synthesized bacteriochlorophyll a, a photosynthetic pigment found in bacteria which absorbs infrared light. The work represents the first chemical synthesis of this molecule and could give scientists deeper insights into photosynthetic function and photosynthetic energy. “There are two ‘worlds’ of photosynthesis: the green plant-based […]
In North Carolina, BASF has introduced Circalo™: Low Carbon Intensity Crops, a comprehensive, unified platform designed to connect farmers, agronomists and ethanol producers with the tools needed to help operationalize agricultural carbon intensity (CI) under evolving regulatory frameworks, including the Clean Fuel Production Credit (Section 45Z). By utilizing xarvio® FIELD MANAGER and xarvio BIOENERGY, Circalo: […]
In North Carolina, Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. completed the installation of its 6.6-megawatt combined heat and power (CHP) microturbine system at a landmark renewable energy facility in North Carolina. This waste-to-energy project marks a meaningful step forward in the customer’s operational strategy by monetizing swine waste through a proprietary pyrolysis process to produce renewable […]
In North Carolina, designer Gabriel Mejia-Estrella has created a working synthesizer made from cardboard and walnut. A recent graduate in Music Technology from University of North Carolina Asheville, Mejia-Estrella was inspired to create the unique synth because unlike elegant and often aesthetically pleasing instruments like guitars or pianos, traditional synths are largely unattractive, more akin […]
In North Carolina, Honda Aircraft Company has become the first twin-turbine very light business jet manufacturer to utilize the HondaJet on a successful test flight running a 100% blend of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). A production-model HondaJet was fueled with a mix of Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (HEFA-SPK) and Hydrodeoxygenated Synthetic […]
In North Carolina, Honeywell introduced a breakthrough technology that converts agricultural and forestry waste into ready-to-use renewable fuels for hard-to- abate sectors, such as the maritime industry. The technology produces lower-carbon marine fuel, gasoline and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from inexpensive and abundant biomass sources like wood chips and crop residues. Plant and agricultural waste […]
In North Carolina, ResourceWise says that as discussions continue about a possible delay to the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), many US producers may think a few extra months might sound like welcome breathing room—but the reality is more complex. Around the world, the forest products industry is undergoing a profound shift. Traditional markets—like pulp, paper, […]
In North Carolina, researchers at Cultivated Biomaterials have created jewelry from leather grown in the lab from cells sourced from Angel, the cow. They claim it is the world’s first lab-grown jewelry, which they have dubbed Angelry. Cultivated Biomaterials uses a tissue engineering approach inspired by MIT’s Prof. Robert Langer. “Our process stands apart by […]
