Made from renewable materials like biomass and agricultural waste, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has enormous potential to decarbonize the aviation industry, but widespread adoption has yet to take off. SAF makes up less than 1 percent of the fuel used in the aviation industry, while aviation fuel contributes about 3 percent of global greenhouse-gas (GHG) […]

Doubling in attendance from its debut in 2023, the North American SAF Conference & Expo drew over 500 industry stakeholders to discuss progress and double down on initiatives to reach the near- and long-term goals of the U.S. SAF Grand Challenge. Opening the event, held in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on Sept. 11-13, was Steve Csonka,

The International Energy Agency on Oct. 9 published its annual Renewables market report, which for the first time includes a chapter focused on renewable fuels that outlines expected growth in liquid biofuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), biogas, and other forms of bioenergy through 2030. According to the IEA, the share of renewable fuels in

On October 7, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released the 28th Crop Progress report of the 2024 growing season. The USDA said as of Oct. 6, 90% of the soybean crop in the top 18 growing states was dropping leaves. This was up from 81% the week prior and ahead of the five-year

A multi-country, government-led initiative dedicated to advancing the global transition to a sustainable, bio-based economy, unveiled a new Global Biomass Resource Assessment, providing groundbreaking data on current and future sustainable biomass supplies around the world. The launch of the International Feedstocks data portal was announced today by the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) Biofuture Platform Initiative at an event, co-hosted with the

NREL researchers have identified strategies to blend more biomass-based diesel fuel into petroleum diesel. Barriers that are currently preventing the use of greater percentages of biomass-based diesel fuel blended into petroleum diesel have been identified, along with strategies to overcome them, according to researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The bio-derived diesel fuel in

Renewable diesel. Biodiesel. Potayto. Potahto? When it comes to terminology, words matter and when it involves two very separate fuels, Scott Fenwick, technical director for Clean Fuels Alliance America, wants to make sure the public knows the difference. “In the technical community, biodiesel and renewable diesel are two distinctly different fuels.
