Podcasts about Biodiesel

Capitol News Illinois reporter Naomi Taxay talks with KMOX's Jade Aubrey about Illinois is officially the home of the soybean and state lawmakers are pushing biodiesel in hopes it will keep more.

Schwerlasttransport und Elektrifizierung – das ist kein einfaches Thema, und wer behauptet, es wäre eines, hat vermutlich noch nie einen 40-Tonner über die Alpen disponiert. Umso interessanter war das Gespräch mit Felix Kunath, Executive Director Full Truck Load, Heavy & Special Transport sowie Air & Ocean North bei Gruber Logistics. Gruber Logistics ist seit 1936 in Familienhand, heute an 60 Standorten in 15 Ländern aktiv und stark im Straßentransport, von Komplettladungen über Schwer- und Sondertransporte bis hin zu intermodalen Lösungen und Seefracht. 93 Prozent der Flotte fahren mit Diesel, Biodiesel oder HVO, 6 Prozent mit LNG oder Bio-LNG – und 1 Prozent elektrisch. Klingt wenig, ist in absoluten Zahlen aber konkreter: 15 E-Trucks in drei Ländern, Fahrzeuge im Zweischichtbetrieb, und ein Projekt in Planung, das einen E-LKW auf knapp 1100 Kilometer täglich bringen soll. Was Felix im Gespräch erklärt, ist vor allem das, was man von außen nicht sieht: die Planungslogik hinter dem E-Truck-Einsatz. Feste Korridore, vorab ausgewählte Ladestationen, eigene Ladepunkte an Standorten und Partnerschaften mit anderen Speditionen und sogar mit Kunden direkt. Das klingt nach Pragmatismus – und ist genau das. Wer im Schwerverkehr wirtschaftlich laden will, kann sich auf öffentliche Infrastruktur zwar verlassen, aber nicht zu den Preisen, die eine positive TCO-Rechnung erlauben. Wir reden auch über die Frage, warum das ursprüngliche Ziel von 50 E-Trucks bis 2025 nicht erreicht wurde – Felix benennt das offen: wirtschaftliche Lage, Infrastruktur, mangelnde Flexibilität bei Verladern. Und er erklärt, was er von Automobilherstellern, der Politik und der Ladeinfrastruktur braucht, damit der Hochlauf tatsächlich passiert. Daneben gibt es einen Ausflug in Richtung Wasserstoff: Gruber Logistics testet in Italien im Rahmen eines EU-Projekts einen umgebauten Scania als Brennstoffzellen-LKW – an der einzigen Wasserstofftankstelle des Landes. Felix ordnet das klar ein: Pilotprojekt, keine Strategie, keine unmittelbare Skalierungsperspektive. Das ist eine Folge für alle, die wissen wollen, wie Dekarbonisierung im Schwerlastbetrieb tatsächlich aussieht – nicht als Absichtserklärung, sondern als laufender Prozess mit echten Widersprüchen.

Vandaag start in Amsterdam een driedaagse conferentie waar de ontwikkeling van biodiesel centraal staat. Deze biobrandstof zou een groener en beter alternatief zijn voor fossiele brandstof. Maar hoe schoon is biodiesel eigenlijk? Hoe ziet het productieproces eruit? En is het echt het alternatief voor fossiel waar men op hoopt? Te gast is Mira Sys, onderzoeksjournalist bij Follow The Money, die in het onderwerp biodiesel gedoken is.

Die Themen: Timmy wird zu Biodiesel; Der Reformgipfel im Kanzleramt; US-Militär startet neue Angriffe gegen Iran; Hambacher Forst soll Urwald werden; Aiwanger predigt bei „Maischberger“ Verschwörungstheorien und Thomas Müller kritisiert Nagelsmann nach Neuer-Rückkehr Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference in Reno, Nevada.Dr. Kononoff begins with some renewable fuels history. Since the renewable fuels standard in 2007, corn production for ethanol has increased to around 50% of the crop going to ethanol production. With the subsequent increase in fuel has come an increase in distillers grains and the industry has learned how to use them to feed cattle better. Later, the government created additional policy for next-stage renewable fuels, which has spurred biodiesel production. Currently, just under 50% of the soybean crop goes to fuel production. Soybean meal availability has increased and costs have decreased over the past few years. Most of the soybean oil is solvent-extracted.   (5:57)Dr. Lock talks about increased acres of high-oleic soybeans in dairy-soybean crossover states. He summarizes some of the work his group has done on feeding high-oleic roasted whole soybeans as a replacement for soybean meal in the diet, citing the benefits of the oil in the diet as well as increased bypass protein. (15:41)The panel discusses whether canola meal, which is fairly high in oleic acid, would show similar benefits to feeding whole roasted soybeans. They also talk about how tariffs may or may not impact canola meal and canola oil prices. (24:26)Over time, the dairy industry has moved away from alfalfa as a protein source and toward soybean meal. The panel discusses the pros and cons of this change. (26:46)Dr. Kononoff gives his perspective on just how much soybean meal can be fed in dairy cow diets. Nitrogen excretion is an important consideration. He reminds the audience that renewable fuels policy is the reason behind many of the feed ingredient changes we've observed in the past 15-20 years, and that policy can change very rapidly. He emphasizes the industry needs to remain nimble and prepared to adapt. The panel also touches on pricing of feed ingredients in different parts of the country and how distillers grains are currently used in dairy diets. (31:08)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

In this episode, we welcome Denis Zaica, Chief Trading Officer at FincoEnergies and former Commercial Director of Biodiesel at Cargill. Denis shares his remarkable journey from Moldova to leading global commodity trading operations, beginning with cocoa trading at Cargill and now spearheading biofuel strategies at Finco. We discuss his transition from agriculture to energy, the role of trading in the energy transition, and how biofuels are influenced by global market dynamics—including current geopolitical tensions.

Biodiesel is growing in the Midwest, and Illinois is a primary example. The folks accelerating biodiesel programs just south of us also want to see Wisconsin expand biodiesel usage. Stephanie Hoff was recently in Illinois and Chicagoland with Clean Fuels Alliance America, looking at the whole chain of biodiesel production from the beans getting dropped off at the plant to riding on a boat on the Chicago River that runs on biodiesel. The state has tax incentives for using biodiesel, and it’s also helping advance sustainability goals. Pete Probst is the president of Indiginous Energy, which is a renewable energy consultant, working with groups like the Illinois Soybean Association and the Chicago Park District. Pete tells Stephanie Hoff that he loves renewable diesel so much, he rigged up his own ride back in the day to run on used cooking oil. He also talks about his role helping members of the B20 Club -- a partnership between the Illinois Soybean Association checkoff and the American Lung Association. It supports fleets running on biodiesel blends of 20 percent or higher. More showers possible today, but it's the wind you'll likely notice. That's the update from Stu Muck. Summer camp is something many kids look forward to. While the initial goal might be just having fun, it doesn't hurt to include some educational experiences too. Ben Jarboe finds out about the 4-H Summer Academy. It offers attendees a variety of track-based activities, seminars, campus tours, performances, and hands-on experiences. Summer Academy will be held at the UW-Madison Campus, where youth and adult chaperones will stay at Sellery Residence hall. Youth will be participating in a wide variety of track-based activities and seminars. They will be able to visit different locations on Campus and in Madison. They will also have the opportunity to hear from speakers, watch a performance from the 4-H Drama Company, and participate in a variety of fun hands-on activities! Polk County 4-H Agent, Lindsay Spindler, about why she's excited to be a part of the event.The spirit of June Dairy celebrations is crossing in waves across the state, but what about taking the enthusiasm outside the state? In this edition of Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin discussion, Pam Jahnke finds out about the value that trade shows bring to dairy producers. Samantha Castro is the Director - Buyer Missions & Trade Shows at Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. The volume of people and decision makers that can be reached at one trade show helps move the needle on product placement and ingredient inclusion for a lot of Wisconsin dairy processors. She explains how they use limited trade floor space to make sure they're involving Wisconsin cheesemakers in telling the story.

It's just about county fair season and already livestock's moving around the state. Remembering biosecurity before you leave the farm is an important message this year. Jeff Morris, UW-Extension Swine Outreach Specialist visits with Pam Jahnke about the simple measures exhibitors can take to protect not only their animals, but their entire enterprises.Smoke is back in Wisconsin this afternoon. Mild temperatures roll in. That's the update from Stu Muck.Tariffs and human health are turning into interesting stories in the "Windy City". Known for Lake Michigan beaches and urban parks, the Chicago Park District is using ever-higher biodiesel blends to reduce emissions and improve air quality in America's third-largest city. Lawn mowers, beach rakers, truckers, and tree trimmers are operating on blends up to B100 (100 percent biodiesel), achieving up to an 86 percent reduction in carbon emissions. The Chicago Park District estimates it has saved people about $67,000 in health care costs by improving the air quality with biodiesel. Michael Dimitroff, manager of Art Initiatives with Chicago Parks, wants to see the City of Chicago utilize more biodiesel across its fleets. He visits with Stephanie Hoff during a Clean Fuels Alliance tour, about the measures.Cody Koster, dairy analyst with EverAg, catches up with Pam Jahnke to focus on how dairy's maneuvering through tight heifer supplies and incredible prices for baby calves. Koster says this is a trend that will no doubt influence milk production, probably by this fall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of the Ohio Ag Net Podcast brings together the latest in livestock leadership, soil health, and farm policy updates impacting Ohio producers. Dusty Sonnenberg and Joel Penhorwood lead a timely conversation with Duane Stateler and Pat Hord – two Ohio hog producers now serving in key leadership roles with the National Pork Producers Council with Stateler currently servicing as President and Hord as Vice President. They dig into major industry topics including Prop 12 implications, biosecurity threats like screwworm, and how Ohio farmers are helping shape national pork policy. Joel also catches up with Amy Weaver of Farm Credit Mid-America to learn more about the Growing Forward Program – designed to support young, beginning, and small farmers with tailored resources and opportunities. Then, Dusty chats with Kate Shenk, Director of Regulatory Affairs with Clean Fuels Alliance America, about compelling new research on biodiesel's benefits – findings with a major upside for Ohio's agricultural economy. Finally, Joe Everett and Brianna Smith talk soil strategy with Dr. Manbir Rakkar of The Ohio State University. With rain-soaked fields and delayed planting on many minds, Dr. Rakkar discusses when waiting just a bit longer might be the healthiest option for your soils in the long run, though far easier said than done.

This week's guest is Mike Roeth, Executive Director of the North American Council for Freight Efficiency or NACFE.  NACFE has been around for over 15 years - originating from a workshop run by the Rocky Mountain Institute in 2009.  Their objective is to drive the development and adoption of efficiency enhancing, environmentally beneficial, and cost-effective technologies, services, and operational practices in the movement of goods across North America.  Mike has been leading NACFE in these efforts pretty much since its inception.  In the conversation, Mike discusses the concept of the “Messy MIddle” - a term that NACFE introduced to the industry.  The Messy Middle is the period between the trucking industry transitioning from a well established and known technology (that would be diesel internal combustion engines) to a future technology (zero emission battery electric vehicles).  Major technology transitions are never simple or clean, and NACFE recognizes this and analyzes how different powertrain technologies (to include Renewable diesel, Biodiesel, Natural Gas, Green Hydrogen, and battery electric) can be employed to bridge this middle ground.   In the podcast, Mike discusses how different trucking operations (payload, duty cycle, required range) are better suited to different powertrain technologies, highlights the challenges and hurdles to the adoption of these powertrain technologies, and outlines the roles that the various stakeholders play.
