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. When I read headlines

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started work on the second set of rules for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), expected to span multiple years beginning in 2026, a spokesperson said today. The rule will likely establish renewable volume targets for multiple years under the RFS, although the exact timeframe has not been

A Detroit-based fuel distribution company has received a $1.17 million grant to expand use of biodiesel for improved air quality in the metropolitan area. Waterfront Petroleum Terminal Company received the grant through the USDA High Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP) and plans to use the funds to add biodiesel storage tanks and equipment to its

Clarity from both US state and federal regulators regarding the rules and incentives for biofuels production is essential to ensure continued growth to achieve underlying carbon-reduction targets, industry stakeholders said today. A lack of guidance for incentive programs and qualifications for 2025 and beyond is already hindering trade and investment in key US biofuels markets,

Emerging bioenergy technologies, including everything from clothing to plastics to fuels, are transforming the foundation of our lives. Through biotechnology and biomanufacturing, sustainable biomass across the United States can be converted into new materials and provide an alternative to petroleum-based production for fuels and products. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO)

Eight of 10 supply chain executives are investigating sustainable transportation practices, according to EY. This is an excellent focus area because transportation represents 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s how to ensure sustainability. 1. Create targets for cost, carbon, and customer service. You must track cost, carbon, and customer service because you can’t control

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) announced $12 million in funding to support the advancement of integrated biorefinery technologies to decarbonize the transportation and industrial sector. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA), FY24 Scale-Up of Integrated Biorefineries, will help reduce technology uncertainty and demonstrate bioenergy technologies that produce low carbon intensity biofuels
