Todays Latest Updates: 14 August 2026

Biogas: Ireland. Gas Networks Ireland and Bia Energy have connected Ireland’s first biomethane production facility directly to the national gas network. The €90 million Huntstown, Dublin, plant can inject up to 120 GWh of renewable gas annually when fully operational, using agricultural, food and surplus packaged waste as feedstock. The project received almost €3.9 million in government support and will also produce digestate that can replace about 3,000 tons of chemical fertilizer annually. Link 14/08/2026.

Biojet/SAF: HongKong. EcoCeres has partnered with SF Group and China National Aviation Fuel Group (CNAF) to launch a customized Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) commercial fueling program, in collaboration with the Second Research Institute of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CASRI). Under the program, SAF produced by EcoCeres will be blended by CNAF and supplied to outbound freighter flights operated by SF Airlines, enabling up to a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional jet fuel.
