Commercial aviation, shipping and automobile sectors emit over 9,100 million tonnes of CO2 on an annual basis. CAPHENIA’s operational principle is simple here: to play an active hand in reducing CO2 emissions from the concerned industries by offering renewable synthetic fuels at competitive prices.

We are pleased to share our feature interview in the World Climate Foundation bulletin, where our Corporate Development Director Ross Chiu explains how we are navigating long-term transition trends at Kerogen Capital. Key takeaways include: ✅ At Kerogen, we focus on established, rapidly growing verticals that require specialised skillsets and are underweighted by institutional capital: green baseload power; renewable fuels and chemicals; and green enablers in the energy transition space. ✅ Geothermal energy has the potential to catalyse the clean energy transition, given the unique profile of the technology in providing green baseload power, and to scale rapidly, driven by supportive policy environments in the UK and Europe. ✅ Second-generation biofuels, such as renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel made from used cooking oil and other waste streams, are crucial for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. These sustainable fuels can significantly leverage existing infrastructure while offering up to a 90% lower emission footprint compared to their fossil-based counterparts. Thanks to WCF for providing us with a unique forum for insights sharing, networking and collaboration.

In three days...book now! IrBEA's 22ND NATIONAL BIOENERGY CONFERENCE Excited about our line-up, speakers from Government, academia & business discussing the opportunities for bioenergy. Taking place on Thursday 12th October at the Royal Marine Hotel, Dún Laoghaire, Dublin, A96 K063. BOOK NOW: https://lnkd.in/e4Gda7EE SPEAKERS: https://lnkd.in/eQatgWqp The 2023 National Bioenergy Conference will focus on the theme ‘Bioenergy's essential role in emissions reduction and the energy transition’. The conference will be an opportunity for all stakeholders to discuss how bioenergy can be embraced as part of the energy transition to renewable energy technologies. The conference agenda will cover renewable heat, transport and electricity. In order to meet the Government’s ambitious targets for renewable energy and decarbonisation, Ireland must rapidly transition to renewable energy. Ireland must support sustainable, efficient and competitive renewable technologies that can also help deliver on security of supply. Bioenergy is well placed to satisfy these requirements. We will also look to emerging markets such as biochar, bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and carbon dioxide removals (CDR). Kindly sponsored by Bord na Móna and Gas Networks Ireland the conference will discuss how Ireland can further embrace bioenergy within the energy mix and discuss the positive impact the technology can make in emissions reduction and the energy transition. #bioenergy #biomass #biogas #biofuels #biochar #forestry #sustainability #circulareconomy ClonBio Group Limited Ken Worrell KPMG Ireland Green Biofuels Ireland Limited

Sappi’s Gratkorn Mill in Austria is advancing in its drive towards reducing the use of fossil fuels in its operations. Following the upgrade of its coal-fired steam boiler to multi-fuel capabilities - a move that reduced CO2 emissions by 30 per cent – they’re now expanding the share of biomass to be used as an energy source.   The next step in Gratkorn’s contribution to Sappi Europe’s decarbonisation roadmap is to improve its handling system and storage space to manage capacity, delivery, sorting and processing of increasing biomass levels.   Sappi’s decarbonisation roadmap includes close to 80 projects being carried out across our European mills by 2025. ‘Our roadmap identifies the path we have embarked on towards a carbon-neutral future,’ explains Sarah Price, Director Sustainability of Sappi Europe. ‘We’re already making good progress towards these targets, with a large number of projects already well-underway or completed.’   Thank you to our mill teams, whose dedication is central to Sappi’s journey towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and our 2030 science-based emission targets!   Read more here 👉 #sappi #decarbonisation #sdgs #climateaction

🌍 Rome recently hosted the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) Bioenergy Week 2024, an event annually organised by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). During the session “Sustainability criteria and GHG emission savings thresholds for gaseous biofuels in the EU”, conducted by Biljana Kulisic, BIP co-chair of Task Force 1, the crucial role of the Biomethane Industrial Partnership in achieving the EU Renewable Energy Directive’s targets was highlighted.   The session provided an opportunity to highlight the crucial role of stakeholder engagement and showcased the achievements and ongoing efforts of the BIP in driving the EU’s renewable energy agenda.  The session provided policy updates and projections for the biomethane industry:  🔸 An update to Annex VI is underway to account for fugitive emissions in biogas/biomethane production.   🔸 Eurostat reported 18.7 bcm produced in 2022, with 2.77 bcm injected into the natural gas grid and 0.17 bcm used in transport, marking a 1 bcm increase over the previous year.   🔸 Industry mobilisation of €18 billion by February 2024 is expected to yield visible results in the energy system by 2026-2027.   🔸 Innovations such as two-phase digestors, biochar, electrodes, and methanation are anticipated to enhance biogas production from the same feedstock.   🔸 The European Commission is taking actions to support the industry in developing sustainable and circular business models that would also monetise digestate as a local, organic source of nutrients and water, and utilisation of biogenic CO₂. #Biomethane #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #EU #GBEP #FAO #GreenEnergy

📰 📣Exciting news for the energy landscape! According to the Statistical Report of the European Biogas Association (EBA), biomethane production in Europe has grown significantly, reaching the capacity to cover the entire domestic demand for natural gas in Poland. This represents an impressive leap and a clear indication of the potential of biomethane in our transition towards more sustainable energy sources. 🚀🌱 In 2022, biomethane production increased by 20% to 4.2 bcm and was used in a variety of sectors: 22% in buildings, 19% in transport, 15% in power generation and 14% in industry. This underlines its versatility and its ability to power multiple areas of our daily lives. Most exciting is the projection in Denmark, where 100% of gas demand is expected to be replaced by biomethane by 2030, showing a firm commitment to more sustainable and cleaner energy. This growth also has economic implications, as every euro invested in biogas in Europe could generate an additional 50% value by 2030. 💰🌏 The increase in biomethane production is a clear sign that renewables are on the rise and essential in the fight against the climate emergency - another step towards a greener and more sustainable future for all! 👏🔆 Watch the News: https://lnkd.in/dy2Dkzxq #Ecofactories #Biomethane #WasteManagement #Sustainability #collaborativeeconomy #circulareconomy #enobableenergy #sustainableenergies #biomethane #greenplanet #greenenergy #energyprojects #sustainabledevelopment
