Biofuel news

bp has announced that it is developing plans for the UK’s largest blue hydrogen production facility, targeting 1 GW of hydrogen production by 2030.

Byogy Renewables Inc., has built, and is now commissioning, a facility converting cellulosic bioethanol into full replacement sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel in Japan.

The Vivergo Fuels site in Hull, UK, is to re-open following an announcement by the Department for Transport that E10 petrol will be introduced at pumps in the UK from September.

Subject to a final investment decision, upon operation the biorefinery will produce 200 000 tpy of renewable diesel from advanced bio-feedstocks.

This partnership will see the two companies co-operating in the field of carbon management by accelerating the implementation of technologies to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The partnership will see Total join forces with leading players across the shipping sector to develop new low-carbon alternative fuels and carbon neutrality solutions.

The Carlyle Group has agreed to increase its shareholding in Varo Energy, which owns the Cressier refinery in Switzerland.

Investment agreements for Varennes Carbon Recycling have been signed by Proman and its partners, Shell, Suncor, the Government of Québec, and Enerkem.

The two companies are investigating the large-scale production of fossil-free hydrogen for the biofuel sector.

Once operational, the plant will process around 250 000 t of locally sourced wheat straw per year into 50 000 t of cellulosic ethanol.
