The U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office on Sept. 4 announced up to $58 million in funding to advance novel, high-impact chemical technologies that use domestically sourced alternative and waste feedstocks.
A U.K. official on Sept. 1 confirmed that the U.K. government does not intend to introduce replacement subsidies for small-scale biomass generators when the current Renewables Obligation (RO) support scheme expires in April 2027.
The U.K. Trade Remedies Authority on Sept. 10 announced it will not apply anti-subsidy duties to imports of renewable diesel from the U.S., as previously proposed duties “would not be in the U.K.’s economic interests.”
Nova Pangaea Technologies, the U.K. company with a unique process to create sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from waste biomass, has completed successful endurance trials that further validate its technology.
The U.K. is expected to consume a record 10.35 million metric tons of wood pellets in 2026, requiring an estimated 10.15 million metric tons of imports, according to a report filed with the USDA FAS Global Agricultural Information Network.
