Baltic SAF producer NorSAF has selected KBR Inc.'s proprietary PureSAF technology — originally developed by Swedish Biofuels AB — for a project in Latvia designed to produce 100,000 tonnes of SAF and e-SAF annually, which would make it the largest such facility in Northern Europe. The plant uniquely combines green hydrogen, bioethanol, and captured biogenic CO2 to produce drop-in jet fuel requiring no blending. Backed by aviation services group Avia Solutions, the project targets a final investment decision in early 2027 and full operations by 2030, with supply planned for airlines across the Baltics and broader European markets.
Japan’s Biggest Airlines Warn of Crisis Without More SAF
Japan’s two largest carriers, All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL), have jointly published their second SAF report — titled Toward Net Zero CO2 Emissions from Air Transport in 2050 — warning that the aviation industry faces a looming crisis if sustainable fuel production and cost reductions don’t accelerate significantly before 2030. SAF represented just 0.6% of global aviation fuel consumption as of 2025. The airlines are calling for a society-wide Co-creation Model in which SAF adoption costs are shared across government, industry, and travelers — framing the fuel supply challenge as a matter of Japan’s economic security.
EverGen’s Strong Q1: RNG Output and Finances Surge in Turnaround
Vancouver-based EverGen Infrastructure Corp. reported a significant operational and financial turnaround for Q1 2026, posting a 38% revenue increase to $2.63 million and a 23% jump in RNG production to 52,756 gigajoules. Adjusted EBITDA surged 93% to $870,000, while a new $13 million credit facility with Farm Credit Canada has shored up the balance sheet. Key milestones at its Fraser Valley Biogas and GrowTEC facilities — along with regulatory approval to construct an anaerobic digester at its Pacific Coast Renewables project — position the company for continued growth in Canada’s expanding RNG market.
South Carolina Creates Tax Credit to Support Landfill Gas-to-RNG Projects
Gov. Henry McMaster has signed SB 556 into law, establishing a new state income tax credit equal to 25% of equipment costs for producing renewable natural gas from landfill gas — capped at $5 million per taxpayer per year. The credit applies to tax years 2026 through 2029, can be carried forward up to 15 years, and is transferable to other eligible taxpayers. Regulated utilities receiving the credit are required to pass the benefit on to ratepayers.
Stark Tech Partners with Sagepoint Energy on 2 Landfill RNG Projects
Buffalo-based Stark Tech is teaming up with Carmel, Indiana-based Sagepoint Energy to develop two landfill renewable natural gas projects. Stark Tech will provide custom-engineered skid systems designed to enhance pipeline injection capacity and long-term operational scalability at both sites. The projects will convert landfill gas into pipeline-quality RNG, supporting decarbonization efforts and the transition toward cleaner energy across North America.
FreightWaves: Why the Moment for RNG in Heavy-Duty Trucking Has Finally Arrived
After more than three decades of slow build-out, renewable natural gas is gaining real traction in Class 8 trucking, according to FreightWaves. The combination of the new 15-liter natural gas engine, Clean Energy’s nationwide fueling network, and average fuel-cost savings of $3 or more per gallon is creating a tipping point for fleets seeking a near-zero-emissions alternative to diesel.
Pennsylvania DEP Awards Nearly $1.44 Million in Alternative Fuel Grants Supporting RNG and Cleaner Transportation
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection announced almost $1.44 million in awards through its Alternative Fuel Incentive Grant Program to help businesses cut gasoline reliance and improve air quality. The grants support deployment of cleaner fuels — including renewable natural gas — and associated vehicle and infrastructure investments across the commonwealth.
Taurus Canada RNG Awarded $10 Million from Government of Alberta for Fully Integrated Anaerobic Digestion Project
Taurus Canada Renewable Natural Gas Corp. has been awarded $10 million from the Government of Alberta to advance construction of a fully integrated anaerobic digestion and RNG project. The facility, planned at the Chinook Feeders site in Foothills County, will convert cattle manure and other agricultural feedstocks into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas, supporting Alberta’s emissions-reduction goals and the broader buildout of livestock-based RNG in Canada.
U.S. DOE Announces $6.9 Million for Nine Waste-to-Fuel Projects Targeting RNG and Renewable Transportation Fuels
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office and Vehicle Technologies Office selected nine projects to share $6.9 million in funding under the new WASTE (Waste Analysis and Strategies for Transportation End-uses) initiative. The selected research focuses on converting organic waste streams — including food waste, municipal wastewater sludge, solid waste, and manure — into transportation fuels and bioproducts, reinforcing federal support for the RNG and waste-to-energy pipeline.
WM’s Pheasant Point Landfill RNG Facility to Heat 11,500 Homes and Avoid 50,000 Tons of CO₂ in Nebraska
Waste Management (WM) has brought online a new renewable natural gas facility at the Pheasant Point Landfill in Bennington, Nebraska, capable of producing enough RNG annually to heat roughly 11,500 homes while avoiding approximately 50,000 tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions. The project illustrates the dual environmental and energy-security value of landfill-based RNG, transforming a methane liability into a long-term, dispatchable low-carbon fuel resource for the region.
