Chevron is building two major hydrogen production sites: a natural gas-based plant in Texas and a solar-powered electrolysis facility in California. The Texas site will connect with a carbon capture project, while the California project will supply low-carbon hydrogen for clean transport. These projects align with federal clean hydrogen hub goals and show Chevron's push to lead the hydrogen economy.
The White House is considering a plan to resolve over 160 pending small refinery biofuel waiver requests, some dating back to 2016. The move could impact biofuel credit markets, crop prices, and refinery operations, especially as refiners seek exemptions due to financial hardship. No final decision has been made, but the approach could shape U.S. biofuel policy and economic outcomes for both oil and agriculture sectors.
Venture Global has begun site work on its third LNG export facility, CP2 LNG, after securing final federal approvals. The project is set to supply low-cost U.S. LNG globally and support thousands of jobs and billions in tax revenue. CP2 will also integrate carbon capture and sequestration at the site, reinforcing the company’s low-emissions commitment.
Airlines are being urged to sign long-term contracts for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to drive up global production. Current SAF supply remains limited, covering less than 1% of fuel needs, threatening the industry’s net-zero targets. Bayer says stronger demand signals will help scale SAF from crops and waste sources.
Navitas and BrightLoop have partnered to deliver high-power hydrogen fuel-cell charging systems for heavy-duty transport using advanced silicon carbide technology. Their converters enable high energy density and efficiency, crucial for fuel-cell performance in harsh environments. This collaboration supports scalable, next-gen hydrogen applications in agriculture, transport, and industrial use.
Wise has partnered with Opna to fund £500,000 worth of nature-based and hybrid carbon removal projects in climate-vulnerable regions. The initiative aims to remove carbon while also supporting local jobs, gender equity, and ecosystem resilience. Projects include forest management and biochar in Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
Aggreko has switched four U.S. service centers, including its Texas HQ, from diesel to hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) biofuel. This cut diesel-related CO2 emissions by up to 60% while still supporting generator testing and site operations. The move is part of Aggreko’s broader push for sustainable energy practices across its facilities.
Global airlines reaffirmed their net-zero-by-2050 pledge despite growing doubts about the supply and cost of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Industry leaders criticized energy firms and aircraft makers for lack of support, while highlighting that SAF remains expensive and unevenly available. Airlines called for faster action from governments and suppliers to make the transition viable.
