In Texas, Chevron Lummus Global (CLG) announced a successful commercial test for co-processing biogenic feedstocks and fossil feedstocks at INA Group’s Rijeka Refinery in Croatia. Conducted at a CLG-licensed hydrocracking unit, the test marked the refinery’s first-ever production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and also yielded hydrotreated vegetable oil renewable diesel. Testing involved the co-processing […]
In Texas, a global energy use continues to rise, the demand for renewable energy sources such as biofuels is also growing—especially in the transportation sector. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have demonstrated how nanotechnology can significantly improve biofuel production from microalgae, offering a sustainable path forward. The study, recently published […]
In Texas, Syzygy Plasmonics is rewriting the rules of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production with a first-of-its-kind commercial project in Uruguay—now supported by Fischer-Tropsch technology leader Velocys. The NovaSAF 1 facility will convert dairy waste and biogas into drop-in jet fuel with a nameplate capacity of 500,000 gallons annually, using only renewable electricity and waste […]
In Texas, HyOrc Corporation has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Start Lda, a Portugal-based liquid and gaseous fuels trading company, to develop a 25,000 ton per annum green methanol production facility in Porto, with conservative projected lifetime revenues of $390m from the facility. This agreement builds on HyOrc’s previously announced MOU with Acetech […]

In Texas, XCF Global, Inc. and Continual Renewable Ventures Pty. Ltd. signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding that seeks to launch New Rise Australia Pty. Ltd., a venture dedicated to the development and commercialization of synthetic aviation fuel projects across Australia. New Rise AU is expected to operate under a licensing agreement that leverages XCF’s […]
In Texas, team of researchers at Rice University has discovered a surprisingly simple method for vastly improving the stability of electrochemical devices that convert carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals, and it involves nothing more than sending the CO 2 through an acid bubbler. Their study, published in Science, addresses a major bottleneck in […]
In Texas, a startup has introduced a new diaper concept that aims to address one of the biggest challenges parents face: balancing sustainability with convenience. Based in Austin, Hiro Technologies tells Reuters parents simply add a packet of its fungi to the used MycoDigestible Diaper. The moisture-activated fungi begins eating the diaper after a few […]
In Texas, Again is developing a new facility to convert waste CO₂ into reusable chemical products and bring sustainable chemical manufacturing to Texas. Based in Texas City, the commercial facility is part of Again’s mission to enable the decarbonization of the petrochemical industry. The first-of-a-kind commercial plant will recycle waste CO₂ emissions from a tenant […]
