FROM THE JULY ISSUE: CEO of IGPC Ethanol Inc. and Chair of Renewable Industries Canada Jim Grey talks about how Canada is a good example of how biofuels can lead the way for greenhouse gas reductions.
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: Slow to start and with fewer gallons than targeted through the Renewable Fuel Standard, cellulosic ethanol is showing signs of steady growth.
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: Cellulose molecules are more complex than starch molecules, so employing the proper enzymes in cellulosic ethanol production is vital. Optimization research is ongoing.
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: American Coalition for Ethanol Senior Vice President Ron Lamberty lays out why oil refiners wouldn't use ethanol as a source of octane, under a high-octane fuel standard, without an RFS or RINs.
European renewable ethanol delivered an average of more than 70 percent greenhouse-gas savings compared to fossil fuels in 2017, according to new certified data from European ethanol producers.
The EPA has proposed to require 19.88 billion gallons of biofuels to be blended into the U.S. fuel supply in 2019, up from 19.29 billion gallons in 2018. The rule allows for 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol, but does not address hardship waivers.
With a long history of performance, cyclones play vital roles in dust collection and emissions reductions in a variety of biomass-related applications.
Air Liquide inaugurated a biomethane production unit and a multi-energy distribution station on June 22 in Cestas, France. The station distributes bio-natural gas for vehicles (bio-NGV) that is purified from biogas.
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: Sustainability reporting helps boost plant efficiency, and affects top and bottom lines.

FROM THE JULY ISSUE: Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor discusses the limits of E15 during summer months and the steps being taken to offer the fuel year round.
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: Energy efficiency projects in distillation, dryers and centrifuges are reducing expenses and natural gas usage, but also boosting plants' capacities.
The U.S. EPA has released renewable identification number (RIN) generation data for May, reporting that nearly 1.67 billion RINs were generated during the month, including nearly 22.23 million cellulosic RINs.
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: Energy recycling technologies and changing market dynamics provide new options for electricity production, and revive opportunities for old ones.
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: Grains Council hires new communications director, Growth taps industry veteran to head global markets, Seneca Cos. names vice president of safety and more
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: The energy efficiency push has achieved industry-wide results that experts hope can change outdated government and consumer perceptions of ethanol's benefits.
FROM THE JULY ISSUE: Analyzing data from computerized maintenance management systems can boost operational efficiency and streamline HR, equipment monitoring, inventory and more.
