Gevo is a leading renewable fuels and chemicals company focused on producing low-carbon alternatives to fossil fuels, including low-carbon ethanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and renewable natural gas. Its integrated carbon strategy features biogenic CO₂ capture and permanent storage, digital carbon tracking via the Verity platform, and modular Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology. The North Dakota Red Trail acquisition added a profitable ethanol plant, a large and scalable carbon capture system, and prime location for ATJ (SAF) expansion. In the longer-term, third-party CCS and ATJ-30 technology sales are significant drivers. 

Longtemps symbole de scandale sanitaire, l'« huile de caniveau » est devenue l'un des carburants les plus convoités de la planète. Recyclée à partir des cuisines et des égouts, l'huile de cuisson usagée alimente aujourd'hui la transition verte de l'aviation – au point de valoir plus cher que le kérosène. Derrière cette métamorphose se dessinent les fragilités d'une décarbonation accélérée sous contrainte. Pendant des années, la Chine a incarné le versant sombre de l'« huile de caniveau », recyclée illégalement et réintroduite dans l'alimentation. Rebaptisée UCO (« used cooking oil »), elle est désormais la principale matière première du carburant d'aviation durable (SAF). Une fois transformée, elle peut être mélangée au carburant fossile sans modifier avions ni infrastructures, tout en réduisant jusqu'à 80% des émissions sur l'ensemble de son cycle de vie. Dans un secteur où les alternatives technologiques – hydrogène ou avions électriques – restent lointaines, le remplacement du carburant s'impose comme la voie la plus rapide. Résultat : la demande explose, l'offre reste limitée, et l'UCO devient une ressource rare, parfois plus chère que le carburant conventionnel. Une transition verte qui fait grimper la facture Mais produire du SAF reste coûteux. Les marges se concentrent en amont, chez les fournisseurs d'UCO et les raffineurs, tandis que les compagnies aériennes absorbent l'essentiel du surcoût. En Europe, où des obligations de mélange sont déjà en vigueur, le prix du SAF peut atteindre jusqu'à cinq fois celui du kérosène. Selon l'Association internationale du transport aérien (IATA), cette hausse des coûts pèse lourdement sur un secteur aux marges déjà étroites. Plusieurs compagnies et raffineurs européens demandent désormais un assouplissement du calendrier, craignant qu'une transition trop rapide n'affaiblisse la compétitivité du transport aérien. La Chine au centre du jeu Premier exportateur mondial d'UCO, la Chine avance prudemment. Elle développe rapidement ses capacités de production de SAF, tout en réservant l'essentiel de ses volumes aux marchés étrangers soumis à des obligations climatiques. À ce stade, Pékin privilégie l'offre plutôt que la contrainte, sans objectif national obligatoire. À l'approche de l'entrée en vigueur des règles mondiales en 2027, une question demeure : la Chine imposera-t-elle à son tour des quotas domestiques ? La réponse pèsera lourd sur l'équilibre du marché – et sur le prix du carburant du futur. À lire aussiBiocarburant, un marché en plein essor grâce au secteur de l'aérien

This week on the podcast, our guest is Brandon Moffatt, Chief Development Officer at StormFisher Hydrogen. StormFisher Hydrogen develops projects that repurpose energy, water, and power, with a focus on green hydrogen and e-fuels across the North American market. The company is currently advancing a low-carbon methanol project in Varennes, Quebec. The conversation begins with an overview of green hydrogen–derived products, including e-methane, e-methanol, and green ammonia. Brandon explains why e-methanol is emerging as a leading end-use for green-hydrogen-derived fuels, particularly for marine shipping and aviation. The discussion then turns to Canada's competitive advantages in producing e-fuels, including access to low-carbon grid electricity in Quebec, Manitoba, and British Columbia, as well as the Canadian Investment Tax Credits (ITCs). With the United States rolling back support for green hydrogen in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) last summer, Brandon notes that Canada currently holds a policy advantage in North America. However, global competition remains strong, particularly from India, China, and the Middle East, where cost structures are advantaged. For Canada to remain globally competitive in green hydrogen-derived products, Brandon outlines several changes he believes are needed to Canada's existing ITC framework. These include:Allowing access to the full green hydrogen ITC when grid power is more than 90% non-emitting Extending eligibility to downstream equipment, including e-methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, consistent with how ammonia is treated  Allowing the use of carbon dioxide in fuel production to qualify for the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) ITCThe episode concludes with a deeper dive into the Varennes project, including the potential for local job creation and the anticipated timing for a final investment decision and first production. Content referenced in this podcast:S&P Canadian Electric Car Insights to Q3 2025 (Dec 2025) StormFisher Hydrogen's website Learn more about StormFisher's low-carbon methanol project in Varennes, Quebec Note, the ARC Energy Funds are an investor in StormFisher Hydrogen.

Zak Mir caught up with Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia, to discuss the company's strategy and progress in the fast-evolving hydrogen and clean energy space.The company pioneering leader in converting non-recyclable mixed waste plastics, tyres, and hazardous waste materials into hydrogen and carbon-free fuels, announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Saudi Investment Recycling Company (“SIRC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.A practical route from waste plastics to sustainable aviation fuelHydrogen Utopia has taken a major step forward with a signed Memorandum of Understanding with the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The agreement frames a clear industrial pathway: convert non-recyclable mixed waste plastics, tyres and hazardous wastes into syngas, turn that syngas into hydrogen, and then use a Fischer-Tropsch route to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).Why this mattersSeveral factors make this announcement strategically important. First, the technology that Hydrogen Utopia deploys is already commercial at scale in the United States and elsewhere, removing the usual "pilot" uncertainty. Second, the supply chain in Saudi Arabia and the backing of state investment structures create a rapid route to large-scale deployment. Third, SAF is set to be in structural shortage for years as regulations and airline decarbonisation commitments push demand far ahead of current supply.There will be a shortage of SAF for the next 20 or 30 years. How the process worksThe core steps are straightforward: Feedstock: non-recyclable mixed plastics, tyres, hazardous wastes and potentially landfill-mined material. Thermal conversion: Hydrogen Utopia's melter system produces a very clean syngas stream. Hydrogen production: the syngas is used to extract hydrogen and a carbon monoxide stream suitable for downstream synthesis. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: CO and hydrogen are converted into long-chain hydrocarbons which are upgraded to kerosene-grade SAF. A critical technical advantage is the exceptionally clean syngas produced by the melter. Cleaner gas reduces catalyst contamination in the Fischer-Tropsch process, which is a 70-year proven pathway to synthetic fuels and a preferred industrial route for high-quality SAF.Saudi support and Vision 2030 alignmentThe project sits squarely within Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 ambitions: reducing waste, building new domestic industries and diversifying the economy. The level of enthusiasm reported from government ministries, local supply chain partners and state investment vehicles stands in contrast to the slower, more cautious approach seen in many European markets.Hydrogen Utopia emphasises that Saudi stakeholders are motivated not only by commercial returns but by national development goals. That outlook has translated into rapid progression from initial discussions to a greenlight for project development by the Public Investment Fund.Commercial and financial outlookThe project team is building a business model during Ramadan with an expected internal rate of return close to 20% once finalised. Funding interest appears strong: in addition to PIF/SIRC engagement, multiple family offices and other agencies have signalled readiness to contribute to an estimated project capital requirement in the hundreds of millions of dollars.SAF typically carries a significant premium to conventional Jet A1 because of constrained supply and rising regulatory demand. Hydrogen Utopia targets a competitive production cost with a headline figure in the region of $200 per barrel, which would place the output among the cheaper SAF options globally.Scale, locations and feedstock securityPractical deployment options are flexible. The chairman highlighted potential sites such as Jubail, which has suitable infrastructure. Importantly, feedstock is abundant: municipal waste streams, tyres, and legacy landfills can be tapped. Saudi authorities have even discussed the possibility of landfill mining to supply material, which would both unlock feedstock and remediate old disposal sites.The technology does not require brand-new, high-specification industrial customers. That means the solution can be exported and deployed across a wide range of countries, including developing markets that need affordable, fundable projects. The combination of a strong project IRR and state backing makes third-party financing more straightforward.Market access and offtakeOfftake discussions are already feasible: PIF owns aircraft leasing and airline interests that could naturally absorb SAF volumes. Meanwhile, global aviation mandates are rising, with regulators in the EU, UK and elsewhere moving to require increasing shares of SAF in jet fuel. That regulatory tailwind is a major driver for long-term demand and supports the project's commercial case.Why Hydrogen Utopia stands out Proven commercial pedigree — existing operational plants and a TRL9 classification reduce technical risk. Feedstock diversity — not dependent on limited biofeedstocks that constrain other SAF routes. Strategic partners — backing and interest from sovereign investment, local ministries and private capital. Exportable model — design and economics that can be replicated across the GCC and beyond. Risks and considerationsEvery industrial roll-out faces typical hurdles: final engineering design, securing long-term offtake contracts, refining plant siting and permits, and managing construction and operations. Market pricing of SAF will remain volatile as policy, feedstock availability and competing technologies evolve. That said, strong state support and an existing commercial track record materially lower execution risk.Where this could leadThe combination of large-scale feedstock, clean syngas chemistry, an established Fischer-Tropsch route and committed capital creates a near-term pathway to SAF production at scale. If the project secures final approvals and funding as anticipated, it could become a replicable model for tackling global plastic waste while supplying a growing, high-value low-carbon fuel market.Final noteConverting hard-to-recycle wastes into hydrogen and SAF is not only a strong climate and waste-management play. It is also a commercially sensible route that leverages industrial chemistry proven for decades. With strategic support and clear demand signals from aviation regulators, the coming years could see rapid scaling of projects that turn environmental liabilities into high-value, decarbonised fuels.

In this episode, we speak with Adam Klauber, Chief Sustainability Officer at World Energy, who has been at the forefront of developing book and claim mechanisms for sustainable aviation fuel since its earliest days.He discusses:The co-claims approach: Why aviation needed to diverge from renewable electricity market models by enabling both airlines (scope 1) and their corporate customers (scope 3) to claim emissions reductions from the same SAF molecules, unlocking new sources of funding.What it took to get early deals done: How some of the earliest SAF buyers like Microsoft moved before the supporting infrastructure was fully in place, including clear registries and standardised accounting rules, and why that early willingness mattered.Insetting vs offsetting: The moral hazard of buying cheap offsets outside aviation, and how insetting addresses this while maintaining economic efficiency.Making SAF contracts “bankable”: How long-term commitments from credible corporate buyers can help producers secure debt capital at lower interest rates, thereby lowering financing costs and easing the SAF price premium over time.Building market infrastructure that benefits the whole sector: Why World Energy deliberately builds frameworks that benefit competitors, recognising that growing the overall SAF market serves everyone's interests and that no single company wins with only a trickle of supply.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Gene Gebolys, founder and CEO of World Energy, who delves into the intricacies and future of SAF.

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Joe Kerns, a 30-year industry veteran and Iowa State University graduate who has worked across procurement, risk management, nutrition, hedging, livestock marketing, and operational benchmarking. Joe doesn't sugarcoat the situation—and his perspective raises uncomfortable but necessary questions about the future of U.S. agriculture, especially pork production.Joe explains why he believes the pork industry is on the brink of becoming “a serf to the packer,” tracing the roots back to the 1998 hog price collapse and the financial community's push for mandatory packer contracts. The result? The negotiated cash market has collapsed from roughly 17% in 2002 to around 1% today, leaving producers without meaningful price discovery and shifting risk almost entirely onto the farm.We also tackle the growing loss of faith in USDA reporting, including:Corn yield overestimations that led to bad marketing decisionsThe September 2024 hog supply miss that sent futures $20/head higherDeclining participation in USDA reports and what that means for accuracyHow flawed data distorts markets, hedging decisions, and producer confidenceBut this episode isn't just about problems—it's about opportunity.Joe outlines how producer-driven, anonymous data aggregation could flip the power dynamic back toward farmers. With enough participation, predictive analytics could unlock insights across genetics, nutrition, management, equipment, and animal health—turning farm data into a monetized advantage instead of a liability.We also explore:Why pork producers may actually be agriculture's quiet sustainability success storyHow efficiency gains from genetics and feed conversion are reshaping protein productionWhy beef prices are likely to remain elevated—and why politics are missing the pointThe hard reality behind renewable diesel, SAF, and global energy policyWhat happens to independent producers if nothing changesThis is a candid, data-driven conversation about power, control, and survival in modern agriculture—and why the next decade may determine whether independence remains viable at all.

Together, they dive into the game-changing potential of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for slashing airline emissions, zero in on what's fueling the explosive growth in SAF demand, and unpack the real-world hurdles of getting new projects off the ground. The conversation also takes on the tough question of how airlines can afford SAF when it's still much pricier than fossil jet fuel, explores feedstock bottlenecks and the rise of new production methods, and breaks down the biggest risks ahead—from the need for unified policy to the crucial role of industry collaboration and ongoing innovation.

In this episode, we speak with Nanna Baldvinsdottir, co-founder of IðunnH2, about how Iceland's unique energy system could turn the country into a green fuel bridge between Europe and North America. A veteran of Iceland's power sector, Nanna has spent two decades working in renewables before turning to hydrogen and e-fuels development.Nanna shares how IðunnH2 is developing a 300 MW, ~70,000 tonne-per-year e-SAF project near Keflavík International Airport, designed first to decarbonise Icelandic aviation and only then supply the wider world via book-and-claim. She explains why social licence for new wind power, local energy security, and predictable permitting make Iceland a testbed for scaling e-fuels where other regions are still stuck on the drawing board.Nanna discusses:Why SAF, not hydrogen export, came out on top in IðunnH2's feasibility work – and how switching mid-study unlocked a path to true commercial scale rather than niche pilot projects.The Helguvík project: locating a commercial-scale e-kerosene facility a stone's throw from Iceland's main international airport, using 100% renewable power contracted via long-term PPAs.Book-and-claim as a strategic tool: using it to serve committed early partners like Luxaviation and other motivated buyers outside Iceland, while keeping the bulk of production for Icelandic decarbonisation.Moving beyond “Jet A price parity”: why chasing price parity with fossil jet fuel misses the point since jet fuel is heavily subsidised and untaxed, and how 15-year price stability can be more valuable to airlines than simply being the cheapest.Her role as a “system builder”: why e-fuel plants are far more complex than traditional power projects, and what it takes to keep partners aligned on timelines, risk, margins, and ambition.The wider Icelandic hydrogen roadmap: how aviation, maritime, and road transport could all draw on the same hydrogen and e-fuels backbone as the market matures.Learn more about the innovators who are navigating the industry's challenges to make sustainable aviation a reality, in our new book “Sustainability in the Air: Volume 2.” Click here to learn more.Feel free to reach out via email to podcast@simpliflying.com.

Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict.

SHOW 11-12-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1930 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize.

Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1215-1230 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages. Zimmerman speculates that Jared Isaacman's conservative-leaning public appearance at Turning Point USA might have convinced Trump to renominate him for NASA Administrator. 1245-100 AM Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA.

Blood spilled in Sudan's el-Fasher massacre is visible from space. What led to the latest dark turn of events that took place after the Rapid Support Forces seized the city in Northern Darfur from the Sudanese Armed Forces? In this episode, first recorded in 2024, the Global Jigsaw digs into the prehistory of Sudan's civil war. We focus on the power struggle between two men: Hemedti, in charge of the RAF, and Burkhan, the general leading the SAF. We ask who are the foreign powers aiding them, and why.
