In Ireland, Gas Networks Ireland and Bia Energy have agreed a significant partnership to enable renewable biomethane gas from the Bia Energy facility at Huntstown, Co Dublin to be injected directly into the gas network. Gas Networks Ireland will extend its existing network to create Dublin’s first direct Renewable Gas Entry Point at Bia Energy’s […]
In Italy, TerraX srl and the SWEN Impact Fund for Transition managed by SWEN Capital Partners, announce the creation of a joint entity to invest in Italy in the biomethane sector. TerraX is led by biogas expert and pioneer Michael NIEDERBACHER, who has designed and built more than 220 units in 12 countries around the […]
In India, ONGC and EverEnviro Resource Management, a developer of compressed biogas (RNG) in India, have formed a 50-50 joint venture (JV) to set up 10 Compressed Biogas (CBG) plants across India. These plants are expected to reduce India’s reliance on imported gas and boost domestic renewable energy production. The JV between ONGC and EverEnviro […]
In Belgium, in the run-up to the European elections in which the environment is a key debating issue, new research points to 100% renewable Superethanol-E85 as a viable replacement for fossil fuels to reduce carbon dioxide emissions produced by transport. While the European Union adopted a regulation in 2023 which would effectively prevent the sale […]
In Singapore, a research project which brings together The Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (CARES), Laskaridis Shipping Co. Ltd and Metis will evaluate the real impacts of the fuels offered to solve shipping’s decarbonization dilemma. The three-way collaboration will make high frequency data captured by analytics and performance evaluation specialist Metis […]
In Massachusetts, Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University announced recently that Circe, a startup developed at the Institute and spun out of Harvard, has signed a worldwide, exclusive licensing agreement coordinated by Harvard’s Office of Technology Development (OTD) to commercialize a novel bioproduction technology that could significantly reduce the carbon emissions of […]
In the UK, an Aston University project that could transform sewage sludge into clean water and energy has been awarded a share of £4.5 million by Ofwat. The University project with engineering consultancy ICMEA-UK involves extracting energy from the waste produced during sewage and water treatment and transforming it into hydrogen and/or methane. The gases […]
In Washington, Reuters reports that almost no corn-based ethanol will qualify for the sustainable aviation fuel credit under the rules recently released by the Treasury Department. The controversy surrounding the use of ethanol as SAF feedstock has been fueled by the revision of the GREET model that could have included or excluded it due to […]
In Brazil, FS has just completed technical studies that prove suitable geological conditions for injecting carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted in the fermentation phase of biofuel production, in the subsoil. Hence, the company can become the world’s first ethanol producer with a negative carbon footprint and the first to develop BECCS technology (acronym in English for […]
In France, Veolia, Waga Energy and ENGIE have created an unprecedented partnership to take a significant step forward in the development of the RNG industry in France. Since March 2022, Veolia has been supplying Waga Energy with biogas from the Claye Souilly landfill site in the Île-de-France region to produce RNG using its patented WAGABOX® technology. […]
