Feedstock: USA. Green Plains announced the launch of Farm Forward, a new initiative designed to turn policy innovation into farmer opportunity. Recent biofuels policy developments have created new opportunities to recognize qualifying farming practices and the role they play in producing lower carbon intensity feedstocks. Farm Forward provides a framework for participating farmers to share in the value created through regenerative agriculture practices while supporting and strengthening rural communities. Participating growers may be eligible to earn premiums ranging from 5 cents to 25 cents per qualifying bushel, with five performance bands designed to create multiple opportunities to maximize value returned to producers.

Marine fuels: Brazil. Bunker One has completed Latin America’s first bioethanol bunkering operation for an ocean-going vessel, delivering 500,000 liters of anhydrous ethanol to the CMA CGM IRON at the Port of Santos, Brazil. The fuel was supplied by Copersucar, one of the world’s leading sugar and bioethanol companies, for delivery to CMA CGM IRON, CMA CGM’s first 13,000 TEU container vessel equipped with a certified tri-fuel engine capable of operating on bioethanol. Bunker One executed the bunkering operation using its barge DONA ISA. The operation is believed to be the first bioethanol bunkering of a deep-sea container vessel in the region. Link 28/10/2026.
