The Federal Aviation Administration on Sept. 25 launched a new competitive grant program that, in part, can support projects to add sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production capacity to existing renewable diesel and ethanol plants.  The newly launched $300 million funding opportunity aims to support projects to reduce carbon pollution from aviation. Approximately $245 million of […]

What’s the dominant form of biobased diesel in the US? A year ago, if you guessed biodiesel, you would be correct – but not anymore. The United States has achieved a remarkable achievement in its biofuel production landscape. As of January 2023, the capacity for renewable diesel production in the US reached an impressive 3

The U.S. Department of Energy has released a request for information (RFI) to better understand the challenges facing critical elements within sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply chains. Specifically, this RFI (DE-FOA-0003157) seeks input from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders to identify opportunities to enable the rapid development of effective supply chains capable of meeting future SAF demand. While

The Treasury Department is teeing up guidance on several tax credits in Democrats’ climate legislation that are designed to boost American manufacturing and energy security, including measures for electric vehicles, sustainable aviation fuel and clean hydrogen production. “This focus will lower energy costs for households and small businesses and encourage American innovation for a clean

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) today announced $18.6 million in funding for eight university and industry projects to develop biomass feedstocks to produce affordable biofuels and bioproducts that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Located in eight states, the projects will create good-paying jobs, support rural economies, and encourage participation of underserved communities, all while putting the

In January 2023, U.S. production capacity of renewable diesel and other biofuels reached 3 billion gallons per year, surpassing U.S. biodiesel production capacity for the first time. Rising targets for state and federal renewable fuel programs and the renewal of biomass-based diesel tax credits are driving this growth in U.S. renewable diesel capacity, according to
