Someone educate me around how 2nd gen biofuel isn’t 🐴 💩 🧚‍♂️ .
Releases CO2. The crop residue or forestry biomass has to be transported and processed. CO2 reduction v fossil fuels? Break even at best. Props up fossil fuels. Displaces renewables.

Singapore company signs deals with Indonesian firms to scale biofuel production A Singapore-based bioenergy firm, Aligned Energy, has signed two memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with Indonesian partners to establish large-scale biofuel production and land restoration projects. The agreements mark the first push by Aligned Energy, which was formed in 2024, to develop sweet sorghum plantations and biomass-to-fuel projects across Indonesia. Sweet sorghum can be used as biofuel, producing lower emissions than traditional diesel. The fast-growing plant can also be used as a feedstock for bioethanol and as “green” naphtha, a key ingredent for plastics currently in short supply as a result of the Iran war. Under the first MOU with PT Beon Parama Energi (PT BPE), Aligned Energy plans to cultivate sweet sorghum on degraded former mining sites. The company aims to develop around 2,000 hectares of plantations on exhausted mining land in Bintan and nearby islands such as Kelong, and is ultimately aiming to produce up to 500 million litres of green diesel over 10 years across multiple sites, according to documents seen by Eco-Business. It is positioning the initiative as both a renewable energy project and a contribution to mining companies’ regreening obligations. Aligned Energy is led by Singaporean citizen Jean-Jacques Lavigne, who has worked in Southeast Asia for...

Singapore company signs deals with Indonesian firms to scale biofuel production in Bintan A Singapore-based bioenergy firm, Aligned Energy, has signed two memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with Indonesian partners to establish large-scale biofuel production and land restoration projects in the Riau archipelago. The agreements mark the first push by Aligned Energy, which was formed in 2024, to develop sweet sorghum plantations and biomass-to-fuel projects across Indonesia, starting with the district of Bintan and its surrounding islands near Singapore. Sweet sorghum can be used as biofuel, producing lower emissions than traditional diesel. The fast-growing plant can also be used as a feedstock for bioethanol and as “green” naphtha, a key ingredent for plastics currently in short supply as a result of the Iran war. Under the first MOU with PT Beon Parama Energi (PT BPE), Aligned Energy plans to cultivate sweet sorghum on degraded former bauxite mining sites. The Bintan island cluster has more than 8,000 hectares of retired bauxite mines, much of it left unrestored despite legal requirements for post-mining rehabilitation. The company aims to develop around 2,000 hectares of plantations on exhausted mining land in Bintan and nearby islands such as Kelong, and is ultimately aiming to produce up to 500 million litres of green diesel annually, according to documents seen by...

Canola may be key to Australia's biofuel A new report by agribusiness banking specialist Rabobank highlights the key role the nation’s canola could play as a biofuel in future energy transition and security. The report, ‘Fuelling the future: How the new biofuel demand wave could reshape Australia’s canola sector’, said with the uptake of electric vehicles largely confined to passenger transport and having limited impact on diesel and jet fuel usage, biofuels are increasingly being turned to globally to help reduce emissions in these “harder to abate” sectors. And with canola oil a key feedstock used in the production of biodiesel, this means the role of Australian canola in energy markets could grow. The report, by the bank’s RaboResearch division, said the rising demand for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) — particularly across the Asia–Pacific region — is opening a “rare strategic window” for Australia to capture greater value from its canola crop. The report’s lead author, RaboResearch senior grains and oilseeds analyst Vitor Pistoia, said diesel and jet fuel remain central to freight, mining and aviation, and these are key sectors where biofuels are gaining traction as a lower-emissions alternative. “For Australia, this creates a genuine opportunity to rethink how canola fits into both...

The Trump Administration's New Biofuels Targets Threaten Carbon-Rich Rainforests President Donald Trump stood on the Truman Balcony at the White House during the “Great American Agriculture Celebration” last week and announced what he called a “historic” boost to the nation’s farmers. The Environmental Protection Agency, Trump said, would require the highest-ever volume of crop-based biofuels to be blended into the nation’s gasoline supply, a move the administration promises will bring jobs and cashflow to an agriculture industry feeling the twin punches of the president’s tariffs and higher fertilizer prices linked to the war in Iran. Trump called himself a “true friend and champion” of the country’s farmers, a key political constituency that he is again actively and festively courting. But some analysts and researchers say the administration’s plan has a critical flaw: The U.S. doesn’t produce enough vegetable oil to satisfy the demands of the new blending targets. That means it will have to import more foreign vegetable oil, which will imperil climate-critical tropical forests thousands of miles away as they’re cleared to grow more oil crops. Beyond these negative climate impacts, the new targets will actually drive diesel prices higher, by 30 cents per gallon this year and 36 cents per gallon in 2027, according to the EPA...

Trump Administration Boosts Biofuels in Effort to Ease Farmer Woes Speaking at a White House event celebrating farmers, Trump announced a final rule raising the minimum amount of renewable fuels that must be blended into the U.S. fuel supply. Biofuels like ethanol, biodiesel, and renewable diesel are largely made with corn and soybean oil, meaning this rule could boost demand for those crops. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the rule under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The final rule sets Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) significantly higher than the previous amount, released under the Biden administration, and slightly higher than previously proposed levels. Biodiesel and renewable diesel production and use is expected to increase by 60 percent with the latest RVOs in comparison to the previous limits, according to the EPA. Under the rule, fuel made with foreign feedstocks or foreign-made fuel will have less compliance value than domestic fuels starting in 2028. In a press release, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the volumes are expected to create a $3 billion to $4 billion increase in net farm income. “At a time of significant economic pressure across agriculture, policies that strengthen domestic demand are more important than ever,” Rob Larew, president of the National Farmers Union, said in a statement...

Federal Water Tap, March 30, 2026: EPA Increases Biofuels Mandate, Expects Soil and Water Pollution Harm Too EPA’s new biofuels mandate, the highest yet, is likely to put more pressure on soil and waters. Without saying climate change, the USFS revises the definition of a ski area that operates on federal lands to allow for more non-ski activities. GAO testifies on ways to reduce federal exposure to the financial risk of flooding. EPA loan program will support a project to bring Lake Michigan water to Illinois communities with unsustainable groundwater use. An Interior Department watchdog’s audit finds that three of four federally-funded projects to place solar panels above irrigation canals are not proceeding due to the administration’s priorities. Water bills introduced or passed in Congress include data center water use, non-flushable wipes, and a Glen Canyon Dam modification. EPA’s internal watchdog assesses wildfire and inland flood risk for federal Superfund sites. EPA asks for public comment on water utility financial assessments. And lastly, senators from opposite sides of the political spectrum ask for data center energy reporting requirements. By the Numbers $610 Million: Loan announced for a project to bring Lake Michigan water to six communities in northern Illinois that rely on a shrinking aquifer. The loan to the Grand Prairie Water Commission is from the EPA’s...
