American Airlines and Infinium delivered the first US commercial-airport batch of eSAF for a passenger flight, made from waste CO2 and renewable electricity at Corpus Christi. American's actual offtake ties to Project Roadrunner, targeting 2027. eSAF costs roughly 7x conventional jet fuel.
Gevo has launched gevocarbon.com, giving buyers direct access to its BECCS carbon removal credits from its North Dakota facility, which has stored over 580,000 tonnes of carbon in four years. Gevo ranks among the top five carbon removal suppliers by credits delivered, per CDR.fyi.
EcoCeres and Chindata signed an MOU to evaluate HVO as a drop-in diesel replacement for backup generators at Chindata's data centers, cutting emissions up to 94.4%. Both companies share Bain Capital as investor, extending EcoCeres' fuel strategy beyond transport into AI infrastructure.
The IMO's Net-Zero Framework remains unresolved after ten months of delay. A Singapore-tabled motion pushed adoption to October 2026, with China backing delay while Japan, South Korea, Greece and Cyprus abstained. Argentina, Liberia and Panama propose removing mandatory carbon pricing.
India and Japan have launched an initiative to build 1,000 biogas plants by 2030, powering 2.5 million CNG vehicles from farm waste and cattle dung. Maruti Suzuki approved four projects worth $58.8 million weeks later. Analysts flag fragmented supply chains as the real scaling challenge.
China's NEA published its first Green Fuels Development Report, showing roughly 8 million tonnes of oil-equivalent capacity across methanol, ammonia, SAF, ethanol, biodiesel and biogas. It also names its own challenges plainly: production costs remain 1.5-2x conventional fuel.
KLM and SkyNRG began construction on DSL-01, the Netherlands' first dedicated SAF plant, targeting 2028 production. KLM committed to buying 75,000 tonnes annually, worth nearly €3 billion, financing that enabled the project. KLM says SAF remains 3-4x costlier than conventional jet fuel.
India's green hydrogen sector is gaining momentum through incentives and competitive auctions, with prices down 17% to Rs 279/kg and green ammonia contracts at Rs 52/kg. With 158 projects in development, the challenge now is turning pricing gains into built capacity.
Delta and Shell Aviation signed a five-year SAF deal spanning five US airports through 2030, focused on building delivery and blending infrastructure alongside fuel volume. The pair will also evaluate alcohol-to-jet and power-to-liquid pathways.
The European Parliament voted 388-248 to block a Commission proposal classifying soybean oil as high-ILUC-risk. Donau Soja argued the methodology failed to distinguish traceable European-origin oil. The vote blocks the act but doesn't resolve the underlying methodology dispute.
The EU approved €103 million in Dutch state aid for methanol and hydrogen vessel purchases and retrofits, targeting short-sea shipping. It funds vessel hardware, not the fuel itself, methanol currently costs roughly double conventional marine gasoil on an energy-equivalent basis.
H4 Marseille Fos secured 50% of its biogenic CO2 needs from cement plant emissions via Rhône Décarbonation, France's first structured CCU chain. It follows a 16 July EDF power deal. The project targets 75,000 tonnes of e-SAF annually with FID expected 2028.
