Todays Latest Updates: 03 August2026

Biogas: Canada. Convertus Group announced the successful financial close of C$135 million in project financing for its flagship biofuel facility located in York Region, Ontario. The facility is designed to process up to 200,000 tons of source-separated organic waste annually and is expected to produce between 350,000 and 400,000 gigajoules of renewable natural gas each year. In addition to renewable natural gas, the facility will produce low-carbon liquid fertilizer and food-grade liquefied carbon dioxide. Link 03/08/2026.

Biogas: Italy. Bankinter Investment SGIIC and Plenium Partners acquired 100% of BG Holding S.r.l., in the biomethane sector in Italy, through the Ecualia Capital fund. BG Holding is the parent company of two biogas plants in operation, Bioenergie Italia Soc. Agr. S.r.l. and ER Società Agricola a r.l., both located in Aprilia, in the province of Latina (Lazio region). The two plants, originally built as agricultural biogas facilities, are being converted for biomethane production. Once the conversion is completed, each plant will produce 517 scm/h (standard cubic meters per hour) of biomethane, which will be injected directly into the national gas network – Bioenergie Italia through Snam Rete Gas and ER Pantanelle through Italgas – with the start of the commercial operation planned between July and September 2026.

Biojet/SAF: The Netherlands. The European Commission approved, under EU State aid rules, two Dutch schemes with a combined budget of €290 million to support sustainable aviation fuels ('SAF'). The schemes will contribute to the objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal to accelerate the decarbonisation of EU industry, as well as of the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation to boost the supply and demand of SAF and accelerate the transition to climate-neutral aviation. The approved schemes will support projects estimated to produce around 285 kilotonnes of SAF per year, the equivalent of 350 million litres of kerosene, or around 3,500 intercontinental flights. The schemes will provide support to two promising technology pathways: advanced bio-SAF not produced through the Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids process ('non-HEFA advanced bio-SAF'), and synthetic aviation fuels ('e-SAF'). The Netherlands believes that supporting these two types of SAF now will assist their commercial development, fostering technological diversity. Link 03/08/2026.

Hydrogen: Spain. Moeve will break ground on the first 300MW phase of its Andalusian green hydrogen plant in September. The Onuba site in Huelva will form one part of the company’s planned 2GW Andalusian green hydrogen valley, with another development planned in Cádiz. The first 300MW are expected online by 2029, using alkaline electrolysers from Germany’s Thyssenkrupp Nucera. Moeve reserves the option to expand by 105MW depending on grid capacity. The project will produce up to 45,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year for use in heavy transport, aviation, maritime, and fertilisers. Link 03/08/2026.
