In Ohio, “Biologicals: Farmer Value, Perception and Potential,” a comprehensive market research effort focused on understanding farmer opinions on the current use, issues and potential for biologicals at field-level was launched by Stratovation Group in close collaboration with the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA), DC Legislative and Regulatory Services (DCLRS) and The Fertilizer Institute (TFI). “Most […]
It’s a great time to have a pet these days with Gucci’s new luxury line for pampered pooches using renewable raw materials and Manhatten fur babies can now frolic on soy-based artificial grass. For those musically inclined, there’s a new line of instruments using biobased materials like eggshells, mushrooms and honeycomb. In today’s Digest, check […]
In Finland, Neste and Fly Victor, the on-demand private jet company, are partnering up so Victor members can purchase Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for every private jet booking globally. This enables private jet charterers to reduce the carbon footprint of their private air travel in a credible and measurable way. Victor’s private and […]
In Florida, Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer and Pratt & Whitney tested a GTF-powered E195-E2 aircraft on 100% sustainable aviation fuel. The test, with one engine running on 100% SAF, validated that GTF engines and the E-Jets E2 family can fly on both engines with blends of up to 100% SAF without any compromise to safety […]
In France, CMA CGM Group and ENGIE will co-invest in the Salamander project, an industrial and commercial unit for second-generation biomethane production and they aim to produce up to 200,000 tons of renewable gas annually worldwide by 2028. Majority-owned by ENGIE and the CMA CGM Group, the production facility is being considered to be located […]
