Todays Latest Updates: 10 June 2026

Biogas: USA. Vanguard Renewables recently celebrated the groundbreaking of its newest anaerobic digestion facility in Litchfield, Minnesota, marking the continued expansion of the company’s footprint in the Midwest. The facility will process more than 300 tons of food and beverage waste per day, providing regional manufacturers, retailers, and distributors with a reliable way to divert material from landfills at a time when growing regulatory pressure and sustainability commitments are accelerating demand for scalable organics recycling. Through anaerobic digestion, that material will be converted into renewable natural gas and nutrient-rich fertilizer. Link 10/06/2026.

Biojet/SAF: Brazil. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released estimates showing that global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production is expected to reach around 2.4 million metric tons in 2026, representing just 0.8% of aviation fuel use, at a cost to airlines of $4.3 billion. To enable a global SAF market with sufficient volumes at commercially viable prices critical for the airline financial and economic sustainability. A book-and-claim system is essential to transform the SAF market from local to global by making it accessible to airlines and SAF producers regardless of their domicile. A global SAF market must also be supported by harmonized standards that create enduring rules and fair competition. Link 10/06/2026.

Biojet/SAF: France. A European consortium led by Technip Energies could join forces to develop a 160,000 tonne-per-year (tpa) sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility at the Port of Dunkirk, France. The project would use the alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) pathway, in which renewable feedstocks such as sugars or waste biomass are fermented into alcohols like ethanol or isobutanol, then chemically dehydrated and hydrogenated into drop-in aviation fuel for blending with conventional jet fuel. France’s Tereos would supply the project’s agricultural feedstocks, while Airbus and Saffran are slated as offtake facilitators and potential end-users themselves. Link 10/06/2026.

Hydrogen: Denmark. French utility Engie and European Energy agreed to expand Denmark’s Kassø green hydrogen project to 150MW by 2030. Located in Aabenraa Municipality, the facility has been awarded €228m ($263m) in German subsidies to build on its existing 52MW capacity and to connect the planned Danish-German Hydrogen Backbone.

Marine fuels: The Netherlands. The Laura Mærsk reached a stepping stone in fuel trials Maersk’s first dual‑fuel vessel operated on 100% ethanol for the second time – but this time, with an important difference. The bunkering, which took place in Rotterdam, involved larger‑scale delivery by barge, allowing the company to test operational handling, supply chains and procedures closer to real‑world conditions than in earlier, smaller‑scale trials. Ethanol is one of several options being explored as the company works to expand its low‑emission portfolio. Link 10/06/2026.
