BDI-BioEnergy International and Ghent Renewables have successfully commissioned an industry-leading feedstock pretreatment plant at North Sea Port in Ghent, Belgium. The plant will strengthen the supply chain for sustainable fuels, including SAF.
Renewables are expected to account for more than 26% of U.S. electricity generation in 2026, increasing to nearly 28% in 2027, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, released May 12.
The U.S. EIA increased its forecast for 2026 renewable diesel production in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, released May 12. The 2026 forecasts for biodiesel and other biobased diesel fuels, which includes SAF, were maintained.
Topsoe has entered into an agreement with Texas based, BioVeritas. The agreement will enable fuel producers to license Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology alongside the BioVeritas Process to produce renewable fuels from second-generation feedstocks.
The U.S. exported nearly 50,000 barrels per day (b/d) of renewable diesel and other biofuels—a category which includes sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)—in the second half of 2025 (2H25), about 20% of the combined production for those fuels.
