Biomass-based diesel has long played an important role in compliance with the U.S. Renewable Fuels (RFS) mandates (e.g., farmdoc daily, July 19, 2017).  The two main types of biomass-based diesel fuels used to comply with the RFS mandates are “biodiesel” and “renewable diesel.”  Historically, biodiesel production

In response to sustainability goals, the freight rail industry is working to boost the use of lower-carbon intensity fuels in diesel-powered fleets to support global efforts in mitigating climate change. Biodiesel and renewable diesel are two types of biofuels, which are produced from organic materials including plants, agricultural waste and wet waste. While these two

Made from non-petroleum sources like waste and biomass, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has the potential to reduce aviation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50 percent or more compared to fossil-derived jet fuel. The aviation industry currently produces 3 percent of total GHG emissions in the United States—equaling about 252 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge is the result of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and other federal government agencies working together to develop a comprehensive strategy for scaling up new technologies to produce sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) on a commercial scale.

WASHINGTON (February 22, 2023) – New survey results highlight American opinions on strategies to mitigate climate change and the best approaches when it comes to fuels and technologies.  “Addressing climate change is a growing focus of governments and the private sector alike. It is important to understand where the American people stand on key issues now being
