Biden backs ethanol industry on low-emission aviation fuel tax credits
Aviation is seen as one of the few routes to increase ethanol demand amid rising electric vehicle sales
Reuters - The Biden administration said on Friday it will recognize a methodology favored by the ethanol industry in guidance to companies looking to claim tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a pivotal win for the politically powerful U.S. corn lobby.
Biofuels drive canola demand
Canola Council of Canada aims for yield research to meet demand
The Canola Council of Canada is seeking ways to increase yields to meet the rising demand for biofuels. “Biofuels seem to be taking the front-and-centre space for the oilseed sector, at least in Western Canada,” said Curtis Rempel, vice-president of crop production and innovation. Why it matters: The canola industry represents 207,000 jobs, $12 billion in wages and nearly

Canola demand equal to winter canola influx
Biofuel markets are on the rise and there’s probably more than enough demand to go around
Rising demand for oil due to the biofuel market will likely swallow any influx American winter canola might produce, experts say. “I think we’ll need all the supply that we can get,” said Curtis Rempel, vice-president of crop production and innovation with the Canola Council of Canada.

KAP members say “not yet” to biofuels
Producer fears that the province is putting the brakes on natural gas thus far unfounded
KAP members voted to tell provincial and federal governments and the public that farmers can’t power their operations on biofuels and current energy sources. “We’re very limited with the options that we have,” said Les Felsch, who brought the resolutions before KAP. “Windmills will not run grain dryers, solar panels will not run grain dryers
German plans to end crop-based biofuels would hit farmers
Any German government plans to stop crop-based biofuel production would severely hit farmers and cut rapeseed output, Thomas Mielke, CEO of Hamburg-based oilseeds analysts Oil World said Feb. 1. Smaller crushings of oilseeds in Germany would lead to a widening of the domestic protein deficit for animal feed and require increased imports of soybeans and
Bunge expects U.S. renewable diesel capacity of about five billion gallons by 2024
Chicago | Reuters — U.S. renewable diesel production capacity will more than double to about five billion gallons by 2024 from about two billion gallons, Bunge CEO Greg Heckman said on Tuesday. The agricultural commodities trader has not altered its own capacity plans due to a U.S. government proposal on biofuels announced last week, Heckman
