Rolls-Royce is leading a new project to find smarter ways of using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to increase its effectiveness and role in reducing non-CO2 emissions, specifically those associated with contrail formation.
Tidewater Renewables Inc. on Nov. 13 reported that production at its renewable diesel facility in British Columbia was impacted in September and October by unplanned downtime. The facility is expected to be operating at full capacity by December.
Renewables accounted for a record 54.5% of U.K. electricity generation during the second quarter of 2025, according to data released by the U.K. government. Generation from plant biomass was up, but generation from other forms of bioenergy fell.
DHL Express has announced a significant SAF agreement with Phillips 66 that will see the delivery of over 240,000 metric tons of SAF over a three-year period. The majority of the SAF will be delivered to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The U.S. EIA maintained its forecasts for 2026 renewable diesel and biodiesel production in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, released Nov. 12. The 2026 outlook for “other” biofuel production, which includes SAF, was reduced.
