LanzaJet and Marquis Sustainable Aviation Fuel signed an MOU to construct a 120 million gallons per year integrated sustainable fuels plant in the U.S. using low-carbon intensity feedstocks to produce sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel via the LanzaJet Alcohol-to-Jet process. The plant will employ on-site carbon capture and sequestration and renewable energy to produce […]
You may have seen the breaking news last week that the National Biodiesel Board changed its name and expanded its mission, becoming the Clean Fuels Alliance America, but before the NBB did that, Kurt Kovarik, NBB’s VP of Federal Affairs, shared this illuminating slide guide at ABLC.

In Austria, researchers at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) are continuing the Biogas2H2 project. In one of the world’s largest industry-related demonstration plants, they produce high-purity hydrogen directly at an existing biogas plant from real biogas, which includes all the impurities that are present in the gas. The project is funded by the Austrian Research […]
Program Manager of Conversion R&D at BETO shared this illuminating slide guide on the role of products and Gen1 ethanol. From co-products’ impact on economics and biochemical pathways TEA and sustainability analysis to low-carbon options for corn ethanol-to-jet pathways, and more.
For years, it’s been ‘food vs fuel,” a claim that has plagued ethanol producers, that somehow producing fuel from crops would lead to less food production, and anti-ethanol forces painted pictures of mass starvation and land degradation. It was mostly a canard, but an effective one — generally, when fuel is introduced into the equation, […]
Looking at the composition of meat versus its animal origin is how Beyond Meat replicates its core structure and uses proprietary science to redefine how we look at meat. In this new presentation, check out at the latest updates, how they became a leading disruptor in the meat category, market share trends, and more.
David Dodds of the ABLC Due Diligence Wolfpack shared this illuminating slide guide at DigestConnect last week on new technologies that can transform 1G refineries – Carbon Capture, hand sanitizers and other new compounds, advanced protein, adding cellulosic feedstocks, greening supply chains. Let’s analyze the options and identify winning strategies.
Who’s in Hot Water? Some of the Usual Suspects get into the usual trouble. We note that EPA missed the 2021 Renewable Volume Obligation deadline, and Growth Energy threatens a lawsuit. Really. We get tired of reporting on the industry having to (almost annually) sue the government to compel compliance to the law. It’s a […]
DENA, the German Energy Agency, released this slide guide highlighting how the country is transitioning into more energy efficiency, more direct renewable energies and powerfuels. By looking at integrated energy, they are implementing several projects to help industry reduce emissions. The Initiative Energy Efficiency Networks, phasing out nuclear and coal and replacing them with renewable energy, accelerating […]
