Ants help reveal why sourcing different plants for eco fuels is crucial for biodiversity
Despite being a renewable energy source, the use of biofuel is controversial, as growing few, highly productive crops for fuel can lead to biodiversity loss in the cropping systems where biomass is produced. A cropping system refers to the crops, their sequence, and the management practices on a given field.
US produced 4 billion gallons of biodiesel in 2023, says Clean Fuels
Clean Fuels Alliance America welcomed EPA’s release of public data for the Renewable Fuel Standard, including final production volumes for last year
Sugar Valley Energy to produce 61 million gallons of SAF
Sugar Valley Energy aims to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for the airline industry.
The project could produce up to 61 million gallons of SAF annually.
The world needs to dramatically cut methane emissions to avoid worst of climate change, UN says
A landmark United Nations report has declared that drastically cutting emissions of methane, a key component of natural gas, is necessary to avoid the worst impacts of global climate change.
First Ethanol Alcohol-to-Jet Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production Facility Unveiled!
During a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Soperton, Georgia today, LanzaJet unveiled the Freedom Pines Fuels facility, the world’s first ethanol-based alcohol-to-jet sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) commercial production plant. With the completion of this facility, LanzaTech, its subsidiary LanzaJet, Inc., and their partners, will optimize the process for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and reduce the cost of producing jet fuel renewable ethanol.
NREL Researchers Produce First Macromolecular Model of Plant Secondary Cell Wall
A multidisciplinary approach has enabled researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to quantitatively define the relative positioning and arrangement of the polymers in Populus wood and to create a computer model that details the findings.
Methane: A crucial opportunity in the climate fight
Cutting methane emissions is the fastest opportunity we have to immediately slow the rate of global warming, even as we decarbonize our energy systems.
It’s an opportunity we can’t afford to miss.
Farmers: How to actually get paid for carbon
On the Carroll Family Farm in Carthage, Ill., being a good steward of the land isn’t a new concept. The Carrolls have raised corn, soybeans and pigs for five generations and counting, implementing conservation practices for decades.
Biofuels and climate markets could stem loss of farms, says Vilsack
The decades-long decline in the number of U.S. farms can be stanched by adopting climate-smart farming practices and crops, increasing biofuel production, and expanding local and regional marketing, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told the largest U.S. farm group on Monday. There are 2 million farms in operation today; the number of farms peaked at 6.8 million in the 1930s.
