In the US state of California, the Placer County Board of Supervisors has authorised county staff to prepare and release a request for proposals (RFP) for a proposed Cabin Creek biomass facility project in North Lake Tahoe - the Eastern Regional Landfill.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) announced $29 million in funding to drive research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of low-carbon-intensity, purpose-grown energy crops critical to accelerating a clean energy economy. The Regional Resource Hubs for Purpose-Grown Energy Crops funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will advance a domestic supply chain of alternative carbon sources necessary to produce biofuels and bioproducts to decarbonize the transportation and industry sectors, as well as innovate and grow the U.S. agricultural industry.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) skills are essential for workers in the bioeconomy and clean energy transition. The Department of Energy (DOE) has several opportunities with upcoming deadlines for students and educators to help expand knowledge, elevate career paths, and bring new tools into the classroom!
The cities of Ames, Madison and Washington DC have utilised Optimus Technologies for their snowplows which are using 100% biodiesel (B100) as the decarbonisation solution for their heavy-duty fleets.
A biofuel company working with NASA has announced plans to open a £9 million (€10.3 million) County Derry plant on a landfill site.

Despite being a renewable energy source, the use of biofuel is controversial, as growing few, highly productive crops for fuel can lead to biodiversity loss in the cropping systems where biomass is produced. A cropping system refers to the crops, their sequence, and the management practices on a given field.
Clean Fuels Alliance America welcomed EPA’s release of public data for the Renewable Fuel Standard, including final production volumes for last year
Sugar Valley Energy aims to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for the airline industry.
