Varhad Capital signs MoU with Velocys to develop Make-In-India, cost‑competitive biomass-to-SAF projects HOUSTON and NAGPUR, India, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sustainable fuel technology provider Velocys and Varhad Capital Pvt Ltd (Varhad), an India-based Biofuel and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) project development company, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance a new generation of biomass-to-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) projects in India. The SAF opportunity in India is driven by abundant agricultural residues, rapidly growing aviation demand, and policy focus on domestic production. The challenge lies in delivering SAF at a favorable cost and scale. Under the MOU, the companies will engineer and design scalable biomass-to-SAF facilities using […]

The Trump Administration’s New Biofuels Targets Threaten Carbon-Rich Rainforests - Inside Climate News The U.S. doesn’t have enough bio-based diesel to meet the administration’s new mandate, so blenders will have to import yet more foreign crop-based oils.

insideclimatenews.org/news/3103202...

It seems this administration disregards human life, as their ignorant actions are likely causing long-lasting environmental damage that may not be evident until it is too late and long after they leave us.

Biofuels globally emit more CO2 than the fossil fuels they replace -… Biofuel demand continues to grow worldwide despite being responsible for 16% more CO2 emissions globally than the fossil fuels they replace. Using just 3%…

"Global #biofuels production emits 16% more CO2 than the fossil fuels it replaces."

"The same land could feed 1.3 billion people, while using just 3% of that land for solar panels would produce the same amount of energy"

“They enticed us by saying that they would till our land and give us the seeds, and we could also intercrop with greengrams and beans...I had to forgo maize because we were discouraged from intercropping both. The year the castor failed, I had no reserves of maize." #biofuels

Bad examples of #biofuels need to be brought up in public. Such as this.

Flaws that should have been practise of the past, such as putting the financial risk on developing country farmers rather than multibillion Eni

In theory it could work but needs a multi-functional co-development project.

Gov urged to back British farmers as Ensus plant set to reopen £100m support package offered to secure CO2 production amid ongoing Middle East crisis

The Government has been urged to back British farmers after it was announced Teeside's Ensus bioethanol plant is set to reopen. The CO2 production site has been awarded £100m in Government support. #Ethanol #Biofuels

UK CO2 plant to reopen amid fears Iran war could lead to shortage Teesside site mothballed in September given £100m by government to restart production for at least three months

You couldn't make this up: UK govt gives £100m to Ensus to reopen ethanol refinery for 3 months just to capture a bit of CO2 for fizzy drinks and other uses from fermenting lots of food (likely wheat): www.theguardian.com/business/202.... We're on the brink of a global food price crisis! #Biofuels

Dave Borlace this week looks at the lovely illusion of #biofuels, which can emit more CO2 than fossil fuels. At scale, a very cozy multi-industry alliance. More unforeseen consequences and unacceptable tradeoffs.

What happens when ships start running on food crops?

⚠️ More land pressure
⚠️ Higher food prices
⚠️ Greater strain on fragile food systems

#Biofuels risk shifting the burden onto African countries least responsible for emissions.

As IMO rules are shaped, this matters.
