In the Netherlands, Royal Dutch Shell said it will produce around 2 million tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel a year by 2025. That’s around 600 million gallons per year — dwarfing any other SAF production either in production or on the boards. Shell also aims to have at least 10% of its global aviation fuel […]
As has been reported out of the Fuel Ethanol Workshops, Novozymes has introduced two advanced technologies, in yeast and fiber, of material significance in the here and now of ethanol, but also in how and how far optimization strategies can and will take us down the road in the broader world of fermentation science. So […]
In Finland, SCA and St1 formed a joint venture to produce and sell advanced biofuels. The new biorefinery is under construction on the St1 refinery site in Gothenburg and will have a total capacity of 200,000 tonnes (approximately 60 million gallons) of liquid biofuels. The project is designed to optimize production of renewable HVO diesel […]
It’s another exciting day for sustainable aviation fuel with Air bp offering a book and claim solution, certified by RSB, to allow customers to access SAF carbon reductions without being physically connected to the supply site and provides customers with wider market access to SAF across a number of locations. In today’s Digest, how does […]
