In the UK, Argus has launched sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) emissions reduction indexes (ERIs), enabling aviation market participants to compare SAF economics with compliance and voluntary carbon market obligations. The assessments and accompanying analytics provide an independent reference for airlines, fuel suppliers, corporate SAF buyers, investors and sustainability specialists evaluating regional SAF competitiveness, aviation decarbonisation […]
In the UK, the National Energy System Operator has published further analysis on the potential role of biomethane and an independent AFRY study on the potential system impacts of hydrogen infrastructure in Great Britain. The biomethane insight explores how sustainable biomethane could be scaled up through to 2050, and the potential value this could deliver […]
In the UK, a new analysis from the Climate Ethanol Alliance comparing marine fuel prices in the first half of 2026 finds ethanol became increasingly competitive with conventional marine fuels on an energy-equivalent basis, particularly during oil market disruptions caused by the Iran conflict. While very low sulfur fuel oil remained the lowest-cost option, ethanol […]
In the UK, Take Root Bio worked with the International Centre for Brewing and Distilling (ICBD) to successfully turn salty whey, a high-volume by-product from cheese production, into a widely used fuel called bioethanol.

In the United Kingdom, biodesigner Lucia Giron and the University of Cambridge’s Department of Biochemistry have created a series of algae-based battery prototypes. A specialized semi-permeable membrane enables gas exchange while limiting evaporation, while a filament-like electrode structure provides a textured surface for algae to attach and integrate, bringing the biological and electrical components into […]
In the UK, UK Export Finance (UKEF) has announced a series of measures to drive growth and decarbonization across the aerospace sector. In a major step, UKEF will broaden its eligibility criteria so that it can consider a wider range of financing options for UK-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects, opening the door to greater […]
In the UK, DP World has bunkered a Svitzer tugboat at the London Gateway with HVO100 for the first time with an eye to expanding the fuel use amongst its tugs that handle some of the largest container ships on the Thames River. Such a switch could cut emissions by 700 metric tons per year, […]
