Biofuels: Canada. Expander Energy Inc. (“Expander”) has officially received approval under the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act to construct the first phase of its Wheatland Bio-Synfuel Facility near Calgary, Alberta proposed to deliver 8.3 million litres / year of renewable Bio-Synthetic fuel. Feedstock Conversion: The plant will process up to 112,000 dry tonnes of landfill-redirected wood waste per year. The facility will yield 36 million litres annually of Bio-SynJet® (SAF), Bio-SynDiesel® (RD), Renewable Naphtha, and Bio-Wax Expander is processing an amendment to its approval which could expand bio-syngas generating capacity and a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) unit.

e-fuels: Germany. German energy technology company TURN2X has raised around EUR 20 million (USD 23.1m) in a Series A round to roll out commercial plants producing e-methane from renewable electricity in Spain and other markets. TURN2X develops plants that are co-located with renewable power capacity and the only inputs are water and biogenic CO2. After producing green hydrogen, the biogenic CO2 is added to form renewable natural gas (RNG), which can be transported through the existing pipeline infrastructure to customers destinations, such as factories with high energy consumption.

Feedstock: USA. CHS announced plans to construct a soybean processing facility near Evansville, Wisconsin, representing an investment of approximately $700 million. The facility will have the capacity to process 80 million bushels of U.S.-grown soybeans annually, expanding the cooperative’s oilseed processing capabilities and creating new market opportunities for owners. The Evansville facility will increase soybean processing capacity in southern Wisconsin, a region with strong soybean production and significant demand for soybean meal from livestock producers.

Market Development: USA. GMA, in partnership with RMI and 3Degrees, has launched the Green Ammonia Buyers Alliance (GABA), an initiative that aggregates demand from food and beverage companies to help close this gap. Through a book-and-claim system, GABA members purchase Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) directly from verified green ammonia producers. Buyers gain a pathway to address fertilizer-related Scope 3 emissions that would otherwise sit out of reach, while producers receive the revenue certainty needed to bring new projects online.
