Vivergo Fuels site in Hull will be re-opening following an announcement by the Department for Transport that E10 petrol will be introduced at pumps across the UK from September. Established in 2012, the site was the only dedicated bioethanol plant in the UK and represented the second largest infrastructure project after the Olympics. However, in […]
Agriculture is the No. 1 source of methane emissions in the U.S., and a potential source of biofuels. Energy is the cornerstone of our modern world, and as the global population continues to expand, demand for energy is only going to grow. Take the increasingly difficult and expensive task of finding and extracting fossil fuels, […]
The global biofuels market was valued at US$136 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to reach $154 billion in 2024. Despite previous dips in the sector, the outlook for the biofuel industry and US biofuel stocks remains positive. Driving forces behind the rising biofuel demand include improved living conditions in emerging countries, and demand for […]
ExxonMobil has completed a successful sea trial of the company’s first marine biofuel oil with shipping company Stena Bulk bunkered in the port of Rotterdam. The marine biofuel oil is a 0.50% sulphur residual-based fuel (VLSFO) processed with a second generation waste-based FAME component – and will be available later this year – initially in […]
Biofuels are transportation fuels such as ethanol and biomass-based diesel fuel that are made from biomass materials. These fuels are usually blended with petroleum fuels (gasoline and distillate/diesel fuel and heating oil), but they can also be used on their own. Using ethanol or biodiesel reduces the consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel made from […]
The Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) has contracted GKN Aerospace Sweden to continue biofuel testing of the RM12 engine. The biofuel for this test is an ATJ (alcohol to jet)-SKA developed and manufactured by Swedish Biofuels AB. The test is part of a bilateral Biojet-project collaboration between FMV and USAF/NAVAIR, which started in October 2013 […]

A team of Brazilian researchers have created biodiesel using old cooking oil and waste from lithium batteries, in a breakthrough which could provide a global use for spent electric car batteries. The team used waste cooking oil collected from fast food restaurants and homes, combining it with metal hydroxides including lithium from old batteries, to […]
McDonald’s restaurants in the Netherlands will be recycling the used cooking oil from french fries into a low carbon biofuel. McDonald’s has partnered with the supplier of renewable diesel refined from waste and residue, Neste and supply chain management and logistics provider HAVI, to collaborate in an oil recycling project. The fuel will be used […]
BMW Group has partnered with the GoodShipping Program and short sea shipowner UECC to test biofuels for the marine industry.
