Leading biofuel industry figures offer their insights and thoughts on the challenges and opportunities for the year ahead. We hear from representatives of Velocys, ISCC, the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels, UPM Biofuels, and more.
2020 delivers biofuels boom on cue
Feature
Biofuels markets in Europe and Asia have started 2020 with a demand-driven bang, while the market in the US received a supply-side push late last year as Congress finally got behind some industry support after a lacklustre end-of-year for Federal biofuels legislation.
Full speed ahead in South America
Feature
This year is going to be a massive 12 months for biofuels in Brazil, with the launch on Christmas Eve 2019 of the government-backed RenovaBio carbon credit programme, the country’s ambitious national biofuels policy, which has been in the making since December 2016.
Towards Europe's Green Deal
Feature
The European Union’s (EU) new Green Deal, with its goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to net-zero by 2050, has come to dominate policy discussions in Brussels.
Smooth operations
Feature
Biofuels International sits down with Stuart Sharp, head of sales at Scanjet Systems, to find out more about tank cleaning challenges for biofuel producers.
Fuelling growth
Feature
As we enter a new decade, the world’s energy sector stands at a crossroads in its efforts to improve the sustainability of its supply. The case for greener, cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels was made many years ago, but the growing calls for significant action on climate change have pushed this issue to the forefront of the industry’s strategy for 2020 and beyond.
The BIOFOREVER project
Feature
The BIOFOREVER project, which ran for three years from September 2016 to the end of December 2019, has successfully demonstrated that forestry residues and waste wood can be converted to wood-derived sugars with a performance comparable to dextrose (DE95) in various fermentation routes to renewable building blocks.
Bigging up biodiesel
Feature
In light of today’s concerns about climate change and generating clean energy, there has been increased discussion involving alternative fuels such as biodiesel. Biodiesel, which is derived mainly from vegetable oils and animal fats, is taking the stage as a popular candidate for replacing petroleum diesel for a variety of well-supported reasons.
Biodiesel leads the way
Feature
Since the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in 2015 and the European elections in 2019, climate protection has become a core topic in both European and German politics.
