Todays Latest Updates:  27 February 2026

Biofuels: Italy. Eni approved the final investment decision (FID) to convert certain units of the Sannazzaro de’ Burgondi refinery (Pavia, Lombardy) into a biorefinery. efineries will be completed by 2028 and will offer maximum flexibility in producing both HVO diesel (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) and SAF-biojet, Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

Biojet/SAF: Brazil. Topsoe signed an agreement with Petrobras to deliver technology and services for a potential facility at Petrobras’ Boaventura Energy Complex, located in Itaboraí, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The project will be based on Topsoe’s HydroFlex® technology, proprietary equipment and catalysts to enable the production of SAF and renewable diesel. Link 27/02/2026.

E Fuels: Japan. Inpex Corporation and Osaka Gas successfully injected green hydrogen-based synthetic gas from a test methanation facility into a natural gas pipeline in Japan. E-methane was produced by a test facility, connected to Inpex’s Koshijihara Plant, by combining hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and distributed through Osaka’s natural gas pipeline network. The gas, which is chemically identical to methane, is made by reacting CO2 and green hydrogen at a high temperature in the presence of a catalyst, in a methanation system developed by Osaka Gas.

Feedstock: USA. Atlantic Biomass, LLC, has announced the development of a new biomass processing system that it says can nearly double sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) yields without adding major costs. The company claims the technology could offer a more affordable pathway to large-scale renewable jet fuel production. According to Atlantic Biomass, the system can raise biomass-to-SAF conversion rates from about 42 per cent to 79 per cent. It operates two production routes at the same time: the traditional biomass-to-ethanol-to-SAF process and a separate stream that produces high-purity syngas. Link 27/02/2026.

Hydrogen: India. Waaree Clean Energy Solutions will build, own, and operate a 2.5MW electrolyser plant in Uttar Pradesh to produce green hydrogen and oxygen for a local hydrogen supplier. The Electrolyser-as-a-Service agreement with gas distributor Zero Footprint Industries (ZFI) will see Waaree design, engineer, supply, install, commission, own, and operate the 2.5MW alkaline electrolyser to support ZFI’s capacity expansion. The plant will supply around 4.1 million Nm³ of green hydrogen and two million Nm³ of green oxygen annually to ZFI under a 15-year offtake agreement. Link 27/02/2026.
