Ammonia production: India. AM Green Ammonia has secured a 10-year renewable ammonia supply contract worth at least €585 million through Germany’s government funded H2Global auction, with shipments from Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, to Germany expected to begin in 2029. Under the agreement, Germany’s Hintco will purchase the ammonia for resale in the European market, with the option to purchase additional volumes using proceeds from those sales. AM Green is converting an existing natural gas-based ammonia and urea production complex into a renewable ammonia facility using alkaline electrolysis. The plant will use renewable electricity backed by pumped hydro storage to meet European Union requirements. Link  09/10/2026.

Biobased chemicals: France. A new cosmetic product formulated by AFYREN is now available for skincare professionals and consumers. AFYREN unlocked a new innovation with 100% bio-based propionic acid (COSMOS-certified) produced via natural fermentation at the AFYREN NEOXY plant. The product is now available globally to skincare professionals and consumers. Propionic acid is a naturally occurring short chain fatty acid essential for maintaining a balanced skin microbiome. Emerging research suggests it helps modulate inflammation, strengthen barrier resilience, and maintain microbial balance – the keys to hydrated, resilient skin. Link 09/10/2026.

Biogas: Hungary. Anaergia, through its subsidiary Anaergia Srl, and TisVet, one of Hungary’s largest duck, and other poultry, producers, have entered into an agreement, under which Anaergia Srl is to supply technology and engineering services for a new anaerobic digestion facility in Hungary. This new anaerobic digestion plant is expected to include Anaergia’s proprietary feeding system, as well as mixing and dewatering technologies. It is anticipated that the plant will treat 122,000 tons per year of agricultural waste, producing 5 MW of electric energy. Link 09/10/2026.

Biogas: USA. Infinium introduced mSAF, a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) platform built on methane-based feedstocks. The offering converts renewable natural gas, biogas, flare gas and other qualified methane streams into low-carbon aviation fuel. Infinium indicates that  no single feedstock pathway can meet rising demand for sustainable aviation fuel on its own, so diversifying sources is key. Biogas, renewable natural gas and flare gas are already collected at landfills, dairies and wastewater facilities across multiple regions, offering new end uses for these streams. The mSAF platform also uses Infinium’s Reform technology, an electrified steam methane reformer designed to lower the carbon footprint of converting methane into syngas. Unlike conventional gas-fired reforming, which burns feedstock to generate heat, Infinium’s system uses renewable electricity instead. This preserves more feedstock carbon for fuel production and increases yield. Link 09/10/2026.

Biotechnology: France. AFYREN and organic fertilization specialist Terrial have renewed their strategic partnership through a new multi-year supply contract worth tens of millions of euros. The agreement covers a significant portion of the bio-based potassium fertilizer produced at AFYREN’s NEOXY biorefinery. The co-product arises naturally during AFYREN’s primary fermentation process. While the company utilizes natural microorganisms to convert non-food biomass into bio-based organic acids, it simultaneously recovers a potassium-rich streams from the organic feedstock. Terrial processes this mineral co-product into high-value organic fertilizer formulations marketed under the FORTI K+ brand. The compacted format allows farmers to apply the nutrient easily using standard agricultural spreading equipment. Link  09/10/2026.
