The U.S. EIA maintained its forecasts for 2025 and 2026 renewable diesel production in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, released Oct. 7. The production outlook for “other” biofuels, which includes SAF, was also unchanged.
Scientists at ORNL conducted a meticulous analysis of the compounds released by plant roots into their surrounding environment. The analysis yielded an abundance of data that can guide research aiming to improve the way we grow energy and food crops.
A team of agricultural economists, environmental scientists and policy experts envisions a path toward a carbon-neutral agricultural future by expanding the reach of policies designed to promote low-carbon biofuels for transportation and aviation.
Transforming biomass into dense, durable and easily managed bales can bridge a critical gap in the renewable energy and biomass material supply chain.
