Vault 44.01 and Cardinal Ethanol are wrapping up Indiana’s first-ever ethanol CCS project.
U.S. fuel ethanol production expanded by nearly 5% the week ending Oct. 2, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Oct. 7. Stocks of fuel ethanol were down nearly 1% and exports expanded by 17%.
Renewable Industries Canada, the Farm and Fuels Alliance and Grain Farmers of Ontario are encouraging the Canadian government to update the country’s Clean Fuel Regulations to support domestically produced ethanol.
The U.K. cleantech business Nova Pangaea Technologies has agreed to collaborate with NorSAF, the company behind the Baltic’s largest SAF project, to develop an advanced ethanol production plant in Latvia to supply the new facility.
Cost barriers stand in the way of transforming carbon dioxide into ethanol at scale, but the purity and biogenic value of fermentation CO2 continue to justify the quest for commercialization.
