Could 2026 Be The Year For Further Global Biofuel Adoption?
Despite countries like the US rolling back climate-friendly policies, many countries around the world are doubling down on more sustainable energy sources. There is a growing recognition of the need to shift away from fossil fuels, and biofuels have an important role to play. The use of biofuels has been steadily increasing since the beginning […]
Should Biofuel Policy Focus On Producers Or Refineries?
The upcoming year is set to be significant for biofuel manufacturing for many years, and a series of choices made in 2025 and early 2026 could determine the demand for refining equipment and the pressure relief valves needed to maintain safe operating conditions. The loosening of zero-emissions vehicle mandates has ensured there will be a […]
What Changes Are Happening In The EU’s Biofuels Sector?
Germany has approved new biofuel laws which change the direction taken by the country’s previous coalition government. The previous government was intending to phase out the use of food and animal feed as biofuel ingredients. However, with the change of government following Germany’s most recent general election in February, a change of biofuel policy has […]
Will The European Union Allow Biofuel Cars In The Future?
The year 2026 appears to be particularly significant for the biofuel industry and the equipment required to make it function, as hugely ambitious plans intend to make it a critical part of the future of sustainable industry and transportation. At the centre of this is the Belem 4X Pledge, discussed as part of a wider […]
What Was The First Car Designed To Be Powered By Biofuel?
Whether seen as a transitional fuel or a vital sustainable lifeline to decarbonise heavy industry, biofuels are becoming a major topic of discussion when it comes to their role in industry, how to produce them sustainably, and what equipment, such as pressure relief valves, is needed to manufacture them safely. The much-discussed Belem 4x proposal […]
Will The World Quadruple The Use Of Sustainable Biofuels?
On a macro level, there are a remarkable number of varied approaches to handling biofuels, from seemingly winding down domestic production entirely to ramping it up and mandating ever greater blends between sustainable ethanol and existing petrol and diesel. The absolute biggest piece of news in this regard on a global scale is Belem 4x, […]
Can We Expect Global Biogas Markets To Take Off After COP30?
Many industries around the world that have traditionally relied on natural gas for fuel are keen to pivot to biogas, but feel they are being held back from doing so. That’s according to a joint letter released by the companies that have signed up to the Let Green Gas Count campaign. More than 230 global […]
Why Are Some Types Of Biofuels More Sustainable Than Others?
With a growing push to transition away from fossil fuels, biofuels are becoming increasingly desired and demanded, with that demand extending towards production equipment and pressure relief valves to handle the varying states of the biologically derived fuel itself. As a general rule, biofuels are less harmful to the environment than traditional fossil fuels and […]
What Are The Main Differences Between Biofuel Generations?
It is very easy to discuss biofuel as a relatively homogenous group of largely compatible fuels, in part because the end product is designed to be as compatible with existing engines as possible. Whilst the stated target is to be compatible with any car made after 1999, Bentley developed a drop-in biofuel that was compatible […]
What Is The Difference Between Racing Fuels And Petrol?
Motorsport runs on the cutting edge, and because of this, every component often operates within a very tight set of tolerances. This especially includes the fuel system and the engine, which is why racing fuels are stored in safety tanks with pressure relief valves due to the often more volatile mixes. The fuels are an […]
