Industry: Biofuels

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) momentum in December 2022 accelerated through supply deals, production expansion, and regulatory support. Airlines secured supply agreements with producers such as TotalEnergies, Shell, and Fidelis New Energy, while China’s Sinopec and U.S. operators advanced national SAF deployment. Government and industry initiatives across the U.K., Germany, Mexico, and Brazil focused on expanding […]

Global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) developments in November 2022 were defined by revised airline emissions targets, long-term SAF agreements, and growing regional initiatives. Airlines such as Airbus and Wizz Air expanded partnerships with producers like Shell and Gevo, while Asia Pacific advanced new SAF supply infrastructure in Japan and Thailand. Technological and policy progress continued […]

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) progress in November 2022 was marked by stronger decarbonization targets, new plant announcements, and expanded policy support. ICAO member states reaffirmed their net-zero by 2050 commitment, with airlines like Qatar Airways and Southwest Airlines advancing interim carbon-reduction goals. Technological and production momentum continued as alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) emerged as the leading pathway, […]

ADI Analytics launched a multi-client study on Future of Direct Air Capture (DAC), offering key insights for technology providers, operators, and investors.

Below are the key topics covered in the study: We welcome you […]

ADI Analytics launched a study on alternative marine fuels, examining key drivers such as regulations and low-cost natural gas. The report analyzes fuel options including LNG, CNG, methanol, and bio-based fuels, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, market potential, and strategic implications for different value chain stakeholders. This study answers several overarching questions, including: We welcome you […]

As the world moves to a more sustainable future and is advancing ways to reduce greenhouse gases and limit the effects of climate change, direct air capture (DAC) is one process being developed and deployed to remove CO2 from the atmosphere along with other efforts to reduce emissions. This industry is still in its infancy […]

We discussed the COVID-impact on aviation, regulatory drivers of decarbonization in aviation, and several commitments and investments made by airlines globally in the previous blog. In this blog, we will discuss how growing supply, techno-economic advancements, and feedstock supply will drive global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) demand growth. There are several ways to manufacture SAF […]

New regulations allow the sale of higher ethanol blending gasoline this summer, but will this actually increase ethanol demand?

Consumers weary from the pandemic are back traveling driving up jet fuel demand. Even so, sustainability is high on their minds leading aviation, a hard-to-abate segment of the global economy, to embrace sustainable fuels.

Energy transition is driving new interest in biofuels. Hydrothermal liquefaction is an interesting pathway although it needs further development.

With carbon capture becoming more prevalent in today’s world, CO2 conversion is becoming one of the popular utilization methods for the captured emissions.

Given the IMO’s ambitious goals to halve the shipping industry’s 2050 GHG emissions from 2008 GHG emission levels, shipowners and ship engine manufacturers must carefully consider a broader range of marine fuels for the world’s future fleet, such as ammonia and methanol.
