Description
Verdagy and Mainspring Energy are launching a hydrogen-powered linear generator system using on-site clean hydrogen in Moss Landing, California. The project demonstrates a resilient, low-carbon power solution for grid-constrained and mission-critical environments. Operations are expected to begin by summer 2025, showcasing hydrogen’s role in flexible power generation.

Conestoga Energy has completed drilling its first Class VI carbon capture well near its Kansas ethanol plant. The facility will store over 150,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually and support future third-party storage. The company now prepares for EPA permit submission as it expands its CCUS and bioethanol strategy.
Microsoft signed a major deal with Sublime Systems to use low-carbon, electrochemically produced cement for its infrastructure. The partnership could cut over 600,000 metric tons of Scope 3 emissions and anchor a new U.S.-based green cement facility. This move also introduces new environmental attribute certificates (EACs) to scale decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors.
The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance has launched SAFc Connect, a new platform linking corporate buyers to sustainable aviation fuel certificate (SAFc) providers. It simplifies procurement, increases transparency, and helps companies meet decarbonization goals. Major players like JetBlue and British Airways are already onboard, with demand expected to grow sharply.
Boeing is investing $17.48 million CAD into two Canadian projects that convert sawmill waste and industrial CO₂ into sustainable aviation fuel. One project focuses on biocrude from wood residues; the other converts CO₂ emissions into synthetic jet fuel. These efforts support Boeing’s P-8A Poseidon deal with Canada and advance local clean fuel innovation.
Eni is in exclusive talks to sell a 49.99% stake in its carbon capture business to Global Infrastructure Partners. The deal would cover major CCUS projects in the UK, Netherlands, and potentially Italy. GIP would also co-invest in future developments to expand Eni’s CCUS platform.
The IMO’s new global emissions framework pushes shipping toward zero-emission fuels like e-ammonia and e-methanol. Analysts project ammonia—especially blue ammonia—will be the most cost-competitive fuel by 2037. But without stronger incentives now, e-fuels may not scale fast enough to meet long-term targets.
Gevo is selling its Minnesota ethanol plant to A.E. Innovation for $7 million while retaining its isobutanol-related assets for future SAF and chemical production. The site will serve as a hub for scaling new biofuel technologies. Gevo plans to continue innovating with isobutanol and low-carbon fuels alongside A.E.'s ethanol restart.
Microsoft partnered with shipping firm Norden to cut 10,000 tons of Scope 3 maritime emissions over three years using certified waste-based biofuels. The project used a book-and-claim model to transfer emissions reductions from voyages to Microsoft’s carbon accounting. This is part of Microsoft’s broader strategy to decarbonize its supply chain and invest in verified carbon removal solutions.
