Once operational, it will produce 100,000 tons of SAF each year and 35,000 tons of sustainable by-products including biobased propane, butane, and naphtha. The plant will make use of the hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) pathway, enabled by Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology. | Biogas Virginia Natural Gas and HRSD Launch Project to Turn Wastewater Byproduct Into RNG VORN Bioenergy Advances its Strategic Expansion in Portugal Taurus RNG Gets $10M For Anaerobic Digestion & Carbon Sequestration Facility to Produce RNG Exclusively from Local Livestock Manure Biomass | WtEnergy Advanced Solutions Raises €10M led by Suma Capital Waste to Energy Advanced Solutions has closed a €10 million financing round led by SC Net Zero Ventures, Suma Capital’s Climate Tech fund focused on scaling growth-stage companies, with participation from Shell Ventures and existing shareholder Cemex Ventures. | Valmet’s Heat Recovery Technology Improves Efficiency of Veolia’s Biomass Boiler Plant Hydrogen SunHydrogen and CTF Solar sign agreement to accelerate hydrogen panel manufacturing Scientists Use Sunlight and Liquid Metal to Produce Clean Hydrogen From Water Jane Marsh | Closing the Green Skills Gap: Retraining Coal Engineers for Solar Era Jobs The global energy industry faces a dual reality — renewable sources are expanding rapidly while coal-fired power declines. This shift is leading to the displacement of a highly-skilled fossil fuel workforce just as the renewable sector struggles to find talent. However, strategic retraining initiatives can transform this friction point into a solution. By equipping experienced coal professionals with solar-specific knowledge, the industry can close the green skills gap and secure the expertise needed to deliver complex energy projects. | Panorama | Trump EPA Strips Legal Bedrock Supporting Clean Energy President Donald J. Trump has announced the single largest deregulatory action in American history: the full revocation of the Obama-era “Endangerment Finding” and the consumer mandates that depend on it. The move could dismantle the legal justification for federal solar incentives and emissions standards. | BNEF study shows US sustainable energy technologies met rising demand growth in 2025 Agenda The North American Biocarbon Conference Asean Biomass Utilization Congress 2026 & Asean Solid Waste Management Congress |
