Advanced biofuels like biodiesel, renewable diesel, renewable jet fuel/sustainable aviation fuel, and renewable heating oil have physical properties similar to petroleum distillate fuels and can be used for the same purposes. Along with traditional biofuels like ethanol, advanced biofuels qualify for use under the United State’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program and may also qualify for […]

Thanks to American innovation, we have the technology, sustainable feedstocks, and entrepreneurial spirit to build a world-leading clean aviation industry right here at home. With the drums of war beating again in the Middle East, America faces a pressing need to secure stable, affordable fuel supplies that do not make us dependent on dictators and

While normal people were getting ready to go out for a night of Halloween fun, this market nerd was poring over a report from the U.S. Energy Department (DOE) entitled U.S. Feedstocks Consumed for Production of Biofuels. The report showed another big month for soybean oil as 1.197 billion pounds were used to make biofuels

Recognizing that the rail sector generates two percent of U.S. transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the Department of Energy (DOE) has released the Progression to Net-Zero Emission Propulsion Technologies for the Rail Sector request for information (RFI) to understand applicable decarbonization strategies. The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government

The growth in renewable diesel production capacity in the U.S. was dramatic in recent years, with capacity in the last two years expanding by 1.8 billion gallons, or 225 percent (farmdoc daily, March 8, 2023).  One of the most discussed and debated aspects of the renewable diesel boom is its impact on feedstock markets, such as

On Friday, December 15, 2023, the U.S. Treasury released updated guidance on the new §40B Sustainable Aviation Fuel Blender Credit. Producers must register with U.S. Treasury and provide third-party certification that their fuel meets the minimum 50% greenhouse gas reduction. The new guidance contains an updated Model Certificate, which supersedes the draft certificate published last December. An interagency working group comprised

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office announced a notice of intent (NOI) to issue a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) that will drive the research and development (R&D) of low-carbon, purpose-grown energy crops leading to the deployment of clean energy technologies. The planned Regional Resource Hubs for Purpose-Grown Energy Crops funding opportunity would support the development of
