Global Bioenergies highlighted its unique, ASTM-certified biological process for SAF production from renewable resources. They focus on bio-SAF for the US and e-SAF for Europe. Their technology offers fewer steps than competitors. The niche cosmetics market serves as a stepping stone to scale up their SAF process.
DG Fuels presented its patented technology for high carbon conversion SAF production, boasting zero CI and low costs. Their Louisiana project is nearing FID in 2025, with presold capacity. DG Fuels aims for the lowest unit production cost globally, envisioning over 20 sites utilizing cellulosic biomass and hydrogen to produce significant SAF volumes.
CAAFI’s Steve Csonka discussed advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) development through a revised Public Private Partnership. He highlighted the U.S. need for diverse energy and the ongoing interest of agencies like the DOE and USDA in SAF commercialization. The focus is on making SAF affordable through industry commitments and a new PPP effort supporting research […]
Synata Bio upcycles waste gases via proprietary gas fermentation into valuable commodities like fuels and chemicals. Their CCU system aims for incremental margin and reduces CO2 emissions. Their first commercial plant, the Sylonto JV in China, will produce 50,000 tons/year of ethanol from waste gases, with expansion plans. Synata Bio offers a turnkey “bolt-on” solution.

Comstock Fuels aims to establish a “New Standard in Oil” through its Bioleum technology, targeting energy security. They report record production of 21 billion gallons of renewable fuels in 2024 and rising demand, envisioning Bioleum derived oil and fuel infusing existing refineries. Their technology can yield 140 GGE per ton and 100 barrels per acre […]
Michigan State University, through Bruno Basso’s work, promotes a circular bioeconomy in grain production systems to lower the carbon intensity score. This approach unites circularity, emphasizing resource efficiency and waste minimization, with the bioeconomy, which displaces fossil fuels with bio-based products. The traditional linear agri-food system is resource-intensive and environmentally damaging. Transitioning to circular systems […]
Marquis focuses on expanding markets, strengthening rural America, and achieving energy dominance through corn ethanol 2.0 and other green fuels including SAF.. They highlight the potential of ethanol (EtOH) as a marine fuel, with testing completed in Q1 2024 and volume ramp-up expected. Compared to other marine fuels like LNG, methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen, ethanol […]
KOKO Networks aims to achieve universal access to clean fuels by promoting bioethanol for cooking in emerging countries. Bioethanol offers lower capital expenditure and faster time to market, along with environmental, health, and gender benefits. Kenya is a successful case study with KOKO’s technology enabling over 1.3 million households to cook with clean bioethanol, achieving […]
Oberon Fuels is focused on converting waste to renewable natural gas (RNG), methanol, and dimethyl ether (DME). They aim to produce over 200 million gallons per year by 2030. Their process involves anaerobic digestion of waste to biogas, which can then be upgraded to RNG or converted to renewable methanol and DME through catalytic distillation. […]
