A notice published in the Federal Register by the U.S. EPA indicates that far fewer parties than originally anticipated have registered with the agency as biointermediate producers under the Renewable Fuel Standard.
The USDA reduced its estimate for 2024-’25 soybean use in biofuel production in its latest WASDE report, released May 12. The agency expects soybean oil use in biofuel to increase during the 2025-’26 marketing year.
Scientists at Washington State University have found a new way to produce sugar from corn stalks and other crop waste, potentially opening a new pathway to sustainable biofuels. The experimental process used ammonium sulfite-based alkali salts.
Repsol and Bunge on April 25 announced plans to incorporate the use of camelina and safflower feedstocks in the production of renewable fuels, including renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
U.S. operable biofuel capacity in February was unchanged from the previous month, according to data released by the U.S. EIA on April 30. Feedstock consumption for February was down when compared to both January 2025 and February 2024.
