The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said in a new report that the ‘slow pace’ of technology deployment is the key obstacle to scaling up sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), rather than a shortage of feedstock. In a study produced alongside Worley Consulting, Global Feedstock Assessment for SAF Production – Outlook to 2050, the IATA determined […]

Syngas generation from organic waste through oxy-fired circulating fluidised bed gasification has been successfully demonstrated under industrially relevant conditions in the spring this year. Technische Universität Darmstadt (TUDa) has achieved this important milestone during almost 100 hours of operation with an oxygen carrier as bed material in its 1 MWth pilot plant. The pilot plant […]

The shipping industry’s target of net-zero carbon emissions has boosted demand for biofuels, which are compatible with existing ship engines and therefore can be adopted relatively easily. However, Rystad Energy analysis shows that the capacity to produce biofuels—such as biodiesel and bio-liquefied natural gas (bio-LNG)—is not keeping up. Unconstrained biodiesel demand exceeds total supply and […]

The Trump administration unveiled a proposal to significantly raise the volume of biofuels that oil refiners must blend into the US fuel supply over the next two years. The move is largely driven by a sharp increase in biomass-based diesel mandates and includes provisions aimed at curbing biofuel imports. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed […]
