All the estimates on a greater use of biofuels, including renewable diesel, are strong. The charts are all pointing up.
But there’s a big issue: Will there be adequate feedstocks so that this part of the energy transition — moving away from fossil fuels and toward a wide variety of less carbon-intensive fuels — can proceed?
That’s the key question energy consulting and advisory firm Turner Mason & Co. will tackle in an upcoming study.
It’s also a question that has a significant impact on...
Global marine fuel supplier and trader Bunker Holding and renewable fuels supplier Renewable Energy Group (REG) are partnering to “further develop the U.S. and EU marine markets for sustainable bio-based diesel,” they said Friday.
The agreement aims to advance the use of bio-based diesel in the shipping industry, with a focus on high-traffic areas in North America and Europe. The companies will expand the use of bio-based diesel in those regions where trials of B20 and B30 are being conducted.

A clear, odorless drop-in fuel has the potential to provide fleets with greenhouse gas emissions savings without having to fork out extra funds for new vehicles with high upfront costs.
Renewable diesel is produced using sustainable and renewable raw materials, including used cooking oil, technical corn oil and fish fat. These waste products that are at the end of their first useful life can be processed into a liquid fuel that provides more consistency than biodiesel, Matt Leuck, technical...
Canadian railway CN is delving into two sustainability initiatives that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a locomotive’s power sources.
First, CN (NYSE: CNI) and Wabtec (NYSE: WAB) announced Thursday that CN has purchased Wabtec’s FLXdrive battery-electric locomotive. CN plans to partner with Wabtec to put into service the next-generation technology, which CN says can reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 30%.
The acquisition was awarded financial support via the marine and...
