The […]
In Pennsylvania, cellulose, which helps give plant cell walls their rigid structure, holds promise as a renewable raw material for biofuels—if researchers can accelerate the production process. Compared to the breakdown of other biofuel materials like corn, breaking down cellulose is slow and inefficient but could avoid concerns around using a food source while taking […]
In Pennsylvania, FOMO WORLDWIDE, INC. has signed a Definitive Agreement to acquire the North America assets of EcoChem Alternative Fuels LLC, a U.S.-based provider of clean fuel technology systems that address the shortcomings of the world’s carbon energy supply chain.

In Pennsylvania, New Energy Blue, advances its Decarbonizing America agenda by forming New Energy Chemicals. In phase one, the new biochemical subsidiary will produce American-sourced and American-made bio-based ethylene to enable Dow’s production of low carbon plastics used in everyday life. Meanwhile, in phase two, it will expand operations at its Port Lavaca, Texas, facility […]
In Pennsylvania, New Energy Blue has formed New Energy Chemicals to manufacture ethylene using ethanol produced via corn stover. The bio-based ethylene will be used by Dow to manufacture polyethylene, in line with a production pact established in May 2023. New Energy Chemicals will use the ethylene to produce sustainable aviation fuel at its Port […]
In Pennsylvania, New Energy Blue formed New Energy Chemicals. In phase one, the new biochemical subsidiary will produce American-sourced and American-made bio-based ethylene to enable Dow’s production of low carbon plastics used in everyday life; in phase two, it will expand operations at its Port Lavaca, Texas, facility to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In […]
In Pennsylvania, PennState reported that Penn State doctoral candidate in chemical engineering Arash Emdadi and his lab colleagues are working to improve the hydrogen production method to make it more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Emdadi is working toward commercializing a new electrolyzer invented by Professor Bruce Logan’s civil and environmental engineering lab. The electrolyzer uses […]
In Pennsylvania, PPL Corporation and its research partners have been selected for a $72 million award negotiation by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) to help fund a ground-breaking carbon dioxide (CO2) capture research and development project expected to cost in excess of $100 million. The research project and […]
In Pennsylvania, The Valley Lodger reported that Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority (LANTA) and UGI Energy Services (UGIES) announced a partnership to use Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) to power the eighty-plus buses in LANTA’s fleet. The agreement between LANTA and UGIES calls for the Authority to purchase Pennsylvania-sourced clean biogas fed into the system from […]
In Pennsylvania, OPIS reports Delta Airlines’ Monroe Energy refinery successfully produced renewable diesel last year at its upcoming 200,000 barrel/year facility in Trainer and an 8-K Securities and Exchange filing showed the company is exploring the possibility of producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Many facilities producing renewable diesel also produce SAF, so the switch is an […]
