Arab Digest editor William Law's guest this week is the Sudanese analyst Kholood Khair. With the RSF conducting a massacre in the city of El Fasher in Darfur questions need to be asked and answered about the role the United Arab Emirates is playing in supplying weapons to the RSF. And Western governments including the UK need to bring pressure on both warring sides - the RSF and the SAF- to secure a meaningful ceasefire as the world's worst humanitarian disaster continues to unfold.

Comentário de Ralph de Carvalho: Náutico vive interferência política, Sport busca o 11º técnico sob críticas, e Santa Cruz projeta reconstrução com foco na SAF. O comentarista Ralph de Carvalho, o Bola de Ouro da Rádio Jornal, analisou os bastidores e os desafios atuais dos três grandes clubes de Pernambuco Náutico, Sport e Santa Cruz , em um momento marcado por disputas políticas, má gestão e reestruturação. No Náutico, o técnico Hélio dos Anjos se declarou cabo eleitoral de Bruno Becker, afirmando publicamente que só permanecerá no clube caso Becker seja reeleito. Apesar disso, a chapa de oposição, liderada por Pablo Vitório, também demonstra preferência por Hélio, que segue acumulando autonomia e recursos para moldar o futuro do time. Segundo Ralph, o treinador já influencia dispensas e contratações, participando ativamente da montagem do elenco de 2026. Entre os dispensados estão Bruno Mezenga, Patrick Alan e Hélio Borges. No Sport, o presidente Yuri Romão busca um novo treinador o 11º de sua gestão , o que levou Ralph a questionar sua competência na condução do futebol rubro-negro. O comentarista lembrou que Romão errou em todas as dez contratações anteriores, incluindo Gustavo Florentín, Lisca e Anderson Moreira. Ralph também criticou a negociação de Juba, liberado de mão beijada para o Bahia, sem que o Sport recebesse os R$ 3 a 4 milhões devidos. Outro ponto questionado foi a venda da joia da base Riquelme para quitar parte do valor do jogador Carlos Alberto, que não deu retorno técnico nem financeiro. O comentarista sugeriu que o presidente adote uma comissão técnica independente para definir o novo treinador, evitando decisões isoladas e repetição de erros. Já o Santa Cruz vive um momento mais estável. O clube segurou o meia Patrick Alan, destaque em finalizações e aproveitamento de rebote considerado por Ralph o melhor do estado nesse quesito. O Tricolor mira o acesso à Série B em 2026 e se prepara para disputar a Série C com base estruturada, em meio ao processo de instalação da SAF, vista como um passo decisivo para o futuro do clube.

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.

Soybeans are all over the headlines right now but you might not realize they drive American ag—and North Carolina is a prime case study. Charles Hall, Executive Director of the North Carolina Soybean Producers Association, returns to break down what's actually moving the market this year: tight farm margins, a potential price rally that hasn't materialized, and a flood of supply with limited in-state storage. We cover why 75% of NC beans are rated good-to-excellent yet profitability remains elusive, how a 1.6M-acre crop meets constrained crush capacity after an ADM plant closure, and why six-hour delivery lines are more than an inconvenience—they're a cost center. Hall explains China's stop-start purchases, Brazil's rapid expansion (and quality trade-offs), and how shifting tariffs hit farmers twice—at the elevator and on input invoices. We dig into weed resistance, the dicamba drift debate, and why new chemistries take ~20 years to clear regulation. On the opportunity side: renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel are reshaping crush margins by pulling harder on oil than meal. We also hit risk management wins (higher reference prices, improved crop insurance) and why the farm “safety net” still hangs inches above concrete. If you own rural land, lease ground, or care about U.S. food and fuel security, this episode lays out the stakes—straight. Key Takeaways Margins are thin: Inputs up, prices not keeping pace; profitability remains “right on the bubble.” Big crop, tight logistics: ~1.6M acres in NC; ~75% rated good/excellent; limited storage and recent crush capacity loss create delivery bottlenecks. China & tariffs: New-crop U.S. purchases lag; tariff volatility depresses demand and raises input costs (equipment, herbicides, nutrients). Brazil vs. U.S.: Brazil gained China share post-2018; quality/logistics trade-offs vs. NC's local hog & poultry demand. Weed resistance is constant: Fewer approved chemistries, dicamba drift concerns; regulatory timelines are long. Energy demand shift: Renewable diesel/SAF increasingly drive crush margins via soy oil, not just meal. Risk management: Higher soy reference prices and crop insurance tweaks help, but the “safety net” is still low.

In this episode, we speak with Matthew Ridley, Director of Sustainability and Innovation at the oneworld Alliance, who shares the story behind the groundbreaking $150 million Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) fund launched in partnership with the alliance's member airlines and Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV).Ridley discusses:The alliance investment advantage: How pooling resources across oneworld members creates access to world-class venture capital expertise, superior deal flow, more diverse portfolios, and geographical networks.Breakthrough Energy's unprecedented value: Why partnering with BEV provides access to talent airlines struggle to attract, plus synergies with investments in nuclear fusion, energy transmission, and geologic hydrogen.Next-generation focus vs. current needs: How the oneworld BEV fund targets technologies that can take aviation beyond 5-10% SAF adoption to truly change the trajectory of decarbonisation, complementing existing investments.Breaking the alliance mould: How oneworld moved beyond traditional codeshares and interlining to tackle “initiatives of scale”, and how they attracted Singapore Airlines to join despite not being a oneworld member.Reframing aviation's challenge: Why the problem isn't aviation itself, but rather the emissions from jet fuel, the only aspect of flight that hasn't changed since the Kitty Hawk.Ridley also shares insights from his seven years building IAG's Hangar 51, where he led first-mover investments in ZeroAvia and LanzaJet, and explains why SAF isn't a transition fuel but rather a permanent solution once emissions are addressed.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Pasha Saleh, Head of Corporate Development at Alaska Airlines, who shares how the airline is investing in sustainable aviation technologies to achieve its ambitious climate goals.

After a quiet September, October travel activity was stimulated by various national holidays (including Golden Week in China, Chuseok in South Korea, Diwali/Deepavali in India, Malaysia & Singapore and Undas in the Philippines). These created air travel spikes that set the scene for the region's highly anticipated end-of-year peak season, with destinations making promotional plays to attract each other's holidaymakers. We begin by looking at the accession of Timor Leste to ASEAN and the prospects of a peace settlement between Thailand and Cambodia. We address 2025's biggest regional story, scam centres - and their broadening impacts on tourism sentiment (and policy) as South Korea's government issues a travel ban for parts of Cambodia. Is a pan-Asian summit the only way to effectively tackle this scaling cross-border issue? Plus, we look at Thailand's policy of attracting charter flights from Chinese tier-2 cities, the Philippines restores e-visa access for Chinese tourists and Singapore enacts a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate. Finally, we head to Macau where concerted promotional campaigns to attract visitors from South East Asian nations are garnering results. 

Im Sudan spielt sich zurzeit nach Einschätzung der Vereinten Nationen die schwerste humanitäre Krise der Welt ab. Aktuelle Berichte und Bilder aus der Stadt Al-Faschir zeugen von der unermesslichen Gewalt, die vor allem Zivilisten erleiden. Die Stadt war der letzte Ort in der Region Darfur im Westen des Sudans, die noch unter der Kontrolle der sudanesischen Streitkräfte (SAF) stand. Kämpfer der paramilitärischen RSF-Milizen posten aktuell Videos, wie sie Al-Faschir einnehmen und Menschen hinrichten, die versuchen zu fliehen. ARD-Korrespondent Ramin Sina im Studio Kairo berichtet von den aktuellen Entwicklungen im Sudan und von dem unermesslichen Leid der Menschen dort. Wir klären aber auch ganz genau, welche Fraktionen sich da eigentlich gegenüberstehen und was die Hintergründe des aktuellen Konflikts sind.

L'armée soudanaise (SAF) a officiellement reconnu son retrait de la ville stratégique d'El-Fasher, dans le nord du Darfour, après dix-huit mois de siège mené par les Forces de soutien rapide (RSF). Cette décision, confirmée par le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan à la télévision nationale, marque un point de bascule dans une guerre qui a déjà fait des dizaines de milliers de morts et provoqué le déplacement de plus de douze millions de civils.

Send us a textOn this week's episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, Jeff Bonar, Chief Executive Officer of privately held CapCO2 Solutions, joined Tim Gerdeman, Vice Chair & Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Water Tower Research, and Peter Gastreich, Energy and Sustainable Investing Analyst at Water Tower Research to discuss: 1) how CapCO2 Solutions uses biogenic CO2 captured from ethanol biorefineries and intermittent wind power to produce low-cost, high volume green methanol; 2) what makes the process more efficient and cost-effective than traditional or competing methods; 3) how the technology also can support the production of SAF; 4) why and by how much green methanol demand is rising; 5) how the technology benefits the economics of ethanol plants, reduces emissions, and supports rural communities; and 5) how strategic partnerships and modular design enable rapid scaling and integration into existing ethanol facilities.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mar Fernández-Méndez, founder of MacroCarbon and professor at the University of Bremen, about her journey from Arctic ice researcher to seaweed entrepreneur. Dr. Fernández shares how she's turning pelagic sargassum into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) while creating a carbon-negative process that enhances marine biodiversity.Dr. Fernández discusses:How Sargassum differs from other algae approaches, avoiding the pitfalls that have plagued microalgae biofuel attempts for decades.MacroCarbon's integrated biorefinery that produces multiple revenue streams: bio-stimulants for agriculture, biochar for permanent carbon sequestration, carbon black for tyres and batteries, and ultimately SAF through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.The company's unique approach to hydrogen production, generating its own hydrogen internally rather than requiring external green hydrogen inputs.Competitive economics at scale: producing SAF for lower than current market biofuel prices, while being species-agnostic and able to use any brown or green seaweed.Securing partnerships with Iberia, Airbus, and Repsol through Spain's All 4 Zero Challenge, with plans to produce test samples for certification and eventual off-take agreements.The roadmap from pilot to first-of-a-kind commercial facility in the Canary Islands, then expansion to Morocco, Azores, Cape Verde, and the Caribbean.Balancing academia and entrepreneurship: maintaining her professorship while commercialising proven technology, and the parallels between academic grant-writing and startup fundraising.The importance of storytelling in deep tech, moving beyond just having good data to communicating vision effectively for investors.The "BlueSaf Plus" vision for 2035: carbon-negative biofuels that enhance marine biodiversity by maintaining floating ecosystems, proving we can have both healthy oceans and sustainable aviation.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'.

Comentário de Ralph de Carvalho: A Produtividade do Atacante Ciel: O primeiro assunto trata da contratação e longevidade do jogador Ciel, atualmente com 43 anos de idade. Apesar da idade que geralmente marca o fim da vida útil no futebol (cerca de 35 a 38 anos) Ciel é artilheiro e entrega em campo o que se espera, sendo disputado por várias equipes. Ele está no CSA de Alagoas, onde a direção busca um contrato mais longo (até dezembro de 2026), e recentemente ele foi emprestado ao Tirol do Ceará para disputar a Taça Fares Lopes, demonstrando sua eficiência e produtividade. O Processo Eleitoral no Náutico: O segundo tema foca no processo eleitoral do Clube Náutico Capibaribe, com atenção ao prazo de inscrição das chapas. A chapa de situação, que deve ser liderada por Bruno Becker para presidente e Ricardo Malta para vice, está consolidada. Houve uma possibilidade de chapa de oposição com Plínio Albuquerque e Roberto Selva, mas essa ideia não vingou, indicando que o clube pode ter uma chapa única. O atual presidente, Bruno Becker, é esperado para oficializar sua candidatura no momento da inscrição. Débitos e SAF no Santa Cruz: O terceiro assunto é a situação do Santa Cruz, que passou a ser cobrado publicamente, com ameaças de inclusão dos débitos na Câmara Nacional de Resolução de Disputas (CNRD). A entrada do débito no CNRD pode causar punições severas, como a impossibilidade de inscrever novos atletas. O Vila Nova de Goiás, através do presidente Hugo Jorge Bravo, cobra R$ 700.000 referentes à venda do meia João Pedro. Além disso, o presidente do Tubarão de Santa Catarina cobra valores devidos pelo empréstimo do atacante Geovani. Questiona-se se os débitos são responsabilidade do Santa Cruz ou da futura SAF, a Cobra Coral Participações, sendo estranho que uma SAF comece a ser instalada já gerando ou assumindo um passivo. Apesar das cobranças, o Santa Cruz continua contratando jogadores, como Andrei, Ianson e Pedro Costa.

Musa (a.s.); İsrailoğullarına, Erîhâ'ya, yâni Beytülmakdis toprağına girmelerini emretti ve: “Ey kavmim! Allâh'ın, size takdir ettiği mukaddes toprağa giriniz! Arkanıza dönmeyiniz! Sonra nice zararlara uğrayanların haline dönmüş olursunuz!” dedi. Onlar ise: “Ey Musa! Doğrusu orada zorbalar gürûhu (Âd kavmi kalıntısı) var! Doğrusu, onlar, oradan, çıkıncaya kadar, biz, oraya katiyen giremeyiz! Eğer onlar, oradan çıkarlarsa, biz de muhakkak oraya giricileriz.” dediler.Peygamberine aykırı davranmaktan korkmakta olan kimselerden, Allâh'ın, kendilerine nimet ihsan ettiği iki er: “Onların üzerine şehrin kapısından giriniz! Bir kere, ona girdiniz mi, hiç şüphesiz ki, siz galipsinizdir. Artık, Allâh'a güvenip dayanınız, gerçekten imân etmiş kimselerseniz!'' dedi. Onlar ise: “Ey Musa! Onlar (Zorbalar), orada bulundukça, biz, oraya ebediyen giremeyiz! Artık, sen, Râbb'inle berâber git! Bu suretle ikiniz onlarla harp ediniz! Biz, mutlaka burada oturucularız!” dediler.Musa (a.s.): “Yâ Râb! Ben, kendimle kardeşimden başkasına mâlik olamıyorum, sözümü geçiremiyorum. Artık sen, o fâsıklar güruhunun arasını ayır!” dedi. Allâh (c.c.): “Muhakkak, orası, kendilerine, kırk yıl haram kılınmıştır. Onlar oldukları yerde (Tîh çölünde) sersem sersem dolaşacaklardır. Artık sen, o fâsıklar gürûhu hakkında tasalanma!” buyur du. “Hani, Musa kavmine: “Ey kavmim! Ben, size hakîkaten Allâh'ın peygamberi olarak gönderilmiş olduğumu bildiğiniz halde, niçin beni cezâlandırıyorsunuz?” demişti. İşte onlar, hakdan sapıp eğrildikleri zaman, Allâh da onların kalblerini hidayetten döndürdü. Allâh, fâsıklar gürûhuna hidayet etmez.” (Saf s. 50)(M.Asım Köksâl, Peygamberler Tarihi, s.78-89)

El sector aeroespacial se encuentra en una encrucijada estratégica, con la aviación española alcanzando cifras récord de 184 millones de pasajeros en la temporada de verano de 2025. Sin embargo, este dinamismo está amenazado por profundas tensiones estructurales: la deuda del Gobierno con las aerolíneas por el descuento de residente asciende a 700$ millones de euros y la disrupción en la cadena de suministro global costará más de 11.000 millones de dólares.Este capítulo analiza cómo el crecimiento coexiste con riesgos sistémicos, como la erosión de la cultura de seguridad impulsada por el empleo atípico (que afecta al 10,3% de las tripulaciones) y la deshumanización organizacional, resultando en un alarmante sub-reporte de fatiga (solo el 20,8% de la tripulación la reporta siempre).En el horizonte estratégico, la sostenibilidad exige una transición monumental. El Combustible Sostenible de Aviación (SAF) se consolida como la palanca clave, posicionando a España ante una oportunidad histórica para convertirse en un hub de producción de energía verde, a pesar del complejo "laberinto regulatorio".Finalmente, exploramos la nueva carrera espacial: la empresa española PLD Space emerge como actor disruptivo al planear un hito sin precedentes en Europa, intentando la recuperación de la primera etapa de su cohete orbital Miura 5 desde su vuelo inaugural en 2026, buscando establecer el estándar de la reutilización en el continente.

以下のようなトピックについて話をしました。 01. Google Opalで誰でも簡単AI自動化 Google Opalは、Googleが開発した革新的なノーコード自動化ツールです。プログラミング知識がなくても、自然言語での指示だけでAIを活用したワークフローやミニアプリを構築できます。 3つの主要メリット ①プログラミングの壁を完全撤廃し、誰でも数分でツールを作成可能 ②GeminiやImagenなどGoogleの最新AIモデルと、Google SheetsやSlidesとのシームレスな連携 ③アイデアを即座に形にするスピード感と、URL一つでの簡単共有 基本的な仕組み チャットエリアに「〜を作って」と要件を入力するだけで、AIが自動的にワークフローを生成。生成されたワークフローはビジュアルなフローチャートで表示され、各ステップの編集も直感的に行えます。ワークフローは「ユーザーインプット」「生成」「アウトプット」「アセットの追加」の4つの構成要素で構築されます。 豊富な活用事例 記事執筆からバナー画像生成まで行うブログ投稿アプリ、YouTubeサムネイル生成、SNS投稿作成、プレゼンテーション自動作成など、コンテンツ制作からビジネスプロセス効率化まで幅広く活用できます。Opalは、AIの力を誰でも簡単に業務に取り入れられる画期的なツールです。 02. Claude Skills機能リリース AnthropicがチャットAI「Claude」の新機能「Claude Skills」をリリースしました。この機能は、専門知識や組織的な文脈を事前に与えて「スキル」として呼び出せるシステムです。 従来のAIモデルが単独エージェントで処理するのに対し、Claudeは複数エージェントを組み合わせた「マルチエージェントシステム」を採用し、より高度で複雑な作業を可能にしています。Claude Skillsは、手順・組織知識・ファイル操作能力などの補助により、Excelの操作や組織ガイドラインに準拠した出力など、専門的なタスクを効率的に実行できます。 実例として、ゲーム会社の新作資料から自動でスライド資料やポスターデザインを生成するデモが紹介されました。Claudeは必要最小限の情報のみを読み込むため、高速処理が可能です。開発者は「マトリックスでネオがカンフーをロードするようなもの」と表現しています。 スキルは「SKILL.md」ファイルを基本とし、複数ファイルを組み合わせて構成されます。ユーザーのメッセージに応じて自動的にスキルがトリガーされ、直接的な指示は不要です。ただし、悪意のあるスキルによるリスクもあるため、信頼できるソースからのインストールが推奨されています。 Claude Skills は、Claudeアプリ（Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise）、API、Claude Codeで利用可能で、今後はスキル作成の簡素化や組織内共有の仕組み開発が予定されています。 03. PerplexityのAIブラウザComet無料公開 PerplexityのAIブラウザ「Comet」が2025年10月2日に全世界で無料公開され、話題となっています。Cometは従来のブラウザとは異なる「エージェント型ブラウザ」として設計されており、「思考の速度でブラウジングする」をコンセプトに、ユーザーが自然言語で指示するだけでAIが自動的にウェブ操作を実行します。 主な特徴として、常駐AIアシスタント「Comet Assistant」がサイドバーに配置され、いつでも自然言語での指示が可能です。エージェント機能により、オンラインショッピングでの価格比較、メール管理、SNS投稿、情報収集など複雑なタスクを完全自動化できます。また、複数タブの内容を統合理解し、音声入力にも対応、YouTube動画の要約や特定箇所への自動ジャンプも可能です。 導入は簡単で、Perplexityの公式サイトからダウンロードし、Chromeのブックマークや拡張機能をそのままインポートできます。基本機能は無料で利用でき、Perplexity Pro（月額20ドル）やMax（月額200ドル）プランでより高度な機能が使用可能です。 開発背景には、PerplexityがGoogleにChromeのデフォルト検索エンジン採用を提案したものの拒否されたため、独自ブラウザ開発に至った経緯があります。ChromiumベースのためChromeユーザーは違和感なく移行できますが、リサーチに時間がかかるため、リアルタイム検索が必要な場合は従来ブラウザとの併用が推奨されています。 04. HondaJetが100％持続可能燃料で世界初飛行成功 HondaJetが世界初の100％持続可能航空燃料での試験飛行に成功 ホンダ エアクラフト カンパニーが開発・製造するHondaJetが、ベリーライトジェットカテゴリーのツインエンジンジェット機として世界で初めて、持続可能な航空燃料（SAF）を100％使用した試験飛行に成功しました。 現在、ASTM Internationalの認可制により、既存のジェット燃料へのSAF混合率の上限は50％に設定されていますが、今回の試験により100％SAF使用の可能性が確認されました。試験では、HEFA-SPKとHDO-SAKを混合した100％SAFを使用し、米国ノースカロライナ州グリーンズボロ周辺を飛行後、ピードモント・トライアド国際空港に着陸。通常のジェット燃料と同等の飛行性能を実証しました。 HondaJetは独自の機体設計により同クラスで最も燃費効率の良いビジネスジェット機として評価されており、HACIは2024年10月に全米ビジネス航空協会から「持続可能な飛行部門認証」を取得しています。また、Hondaは国際団体でSAFの安全性評価と規格化支援に参加し、業界をリードする取り組みを続けています。この成功は航空業界のカーボンニュートラル達成に向けた重要な一歩となります。 05. JAXA、HTV-X1搭載H3ロケット打ち上げ延期 JAXA（宇宙航空研究開発機構）は2025年10月19日、新型宇宙ステーション補給機1号機「HTV-X1」を搭載するH3ロケット7号機の打ち上げ延期を発表しました。当初10月21日に予定されていた打ち上げは、種子島宇宙センターでの天候悪化予想により延期され、少なくとも10月23日まで天候回復が見込めないため、新たな打ち上げ日は未定となっています。 HTV-Xは2020年まで運用されていた「HTV（こうのとり）」の後継機として開発された無人補給機で、従来機と比較して貨物搭載能力が1.5倍に向上しています。質量5.82トン、容積78立方メートルの物資を搭載可能で、ISS離脱後も最長1.5年間の単体飛行が可能な設計となっています。 今回のHTV-X1には、生活必需品や実験機器のほか、船外実験用の各種装置が搭載されています。特に注目すべきは、ISS離脱後の技術実証ミッションで使用される超小型衛星放出システムや次世代太陽電池などの先進技術です。 H3ロケット7号機は「H3-24W」形態での初飛行となり、これまでで最大の打ち上げ能力を持ちます。また、将来の月・惑星探査ミッションに向けて、自律飛行安全システムの実証やNASAの通信衛星を経由したデータ取得実証も行われる予定です。 06. ローソンがリチウム電池回収開始 ローソンがリチウムイオン電池回収実証事業を開始 株式会社ローソンは、環境省の実証事業に参画し、2025年10月15日から茨城県守谷市と神戸市内の計4店舗で、使用済みリチウムイオン電池内蔵製品の店頭回収を開始します。 近年、リチウムイオン電池の不適切な廃棄による発火事故が深刻化しており、2023年度にはごみ収集車やごみ処理施設での火災事故が8,543件発生しています。守谷市では2024年12月に処理施設で火災が発生し、現在も復旧していない状況です。 今回の実証事業では、モバイルバッテリー、加熱式・電子たばこ、携帯電話・スマートフォンを対象とし、店舗に設置した回収ボックスで製品を回収します。回収された製品は各市が回収し、リサイクル工場へ搬入されます。守谷市ではKDDI社が携帯電話等のリサイクルを担当します。 2026年4月からこれらの製品は「指定再資源化製品」に追加され、メーカー等には自主回収・再資源化が義務化される予定です。ローソンは三菱総合研究所、KDDI、荏原環境プラントなどと連携し、持続可能な資源循環モデルの構築を目指します。 本ラジオはあくまで個人の見解であり現実のいかなる団体を代表するものではありません ご理解頂ますようよろしくおねがいします

Send us a textThis week, kindness is in full bloom as we celebrate Petal It Forward — the annual goodwill initiative now in its 11th year, with nearly 500 participants spreading smiles a few stems at a time.We're joined by our partners and friends from across the nation to share stories, laughter, and the joy of giving. Mimi dusts off her news reporter jacket and hits the streets to interview participants, friends, and Freshies, capturing the heart of the day of the floral industry.  From salons to schools, coffee shops to fire stations, the floral pros everywhere teamed up with local businesses to create connections and brighten communities.Here in Miami, we partnered with Esmeralda Farms, Petal Productions, New Bloom Solutions, and many others who helped make this year's celebration extra special.And the buzz didn't stop there — with pages of news coverage lighting up Google, even on the small screen, it's clear that flower power is real! Thanks to groundbreaking research supported by SAF and top universities like the University of North Florida, Harvard University, and Rutgers University, we know flowers truly lift moods, reduce stress, and strengthen social bonds.We also discuss photographing flowers, with our favorite photographer.  Tune in to hear stories behind Petal It Forward.

In this episode, we speak with Tamara Vrooman, CEO of Vancouver International Airport (YVR), who shares how the airport has committed to achieving net zero by 2030, and the detailed roadmap they've developed to get there.Vrooman discusses:YVR's accelerated net zero timeline: How they moved from a 2040 target to 2030 by creating a detailed, measurable roadmap with component parts that track progress.Four pathways to net zero: Capital build improvements (including Canada's largest geo-exchange system with over 800 wells), conservation initiatives, sustainable fuels adoption, and comprehensive data monitoring.Airports' role in energy transition: How centrally providing electrification and sustainable energy infrastructure to all airport users creates far greater impact than individual airline or tenant initiatives, positioning airports as critical energy hubs.Building British Columbia's SAF ecosystem: YVR's partnerships with Air Canada, the provincial government, and regional airports to address the SAF supply chain challenge.ACI Level 4+ certification and accountability: Why data-driven accreditation matters for validating progress, enabling peer collaboration, and ensuring return on investment.The SAF supply-demand paradox: Airlines are willing to purchase SAF and demand exists, but inconsistent supply remains the critical bottleneck.Vrooman also shares leadership insights from her past roles, including leading Vancity Credit Union to achieve net zero and serving as British Columbia's youngest female Deputy Finance Minister, where she helped design North America's first carbon tax. If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Christina Cassotis, CEO of Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), who shares her vision for transforming the airport into a sustainable aviation hub.

A temporada mais confusa e turbulenta da era SAF chega à reta final. Restam 10 jogos para o torcedor saber se o Botafogo volta ou não à Libertadores, já com a certeza de que será um ano sem título. A derrota contundente para o Flamengo expõe falhas gritantes dentro e fora de campo. Afinal, quem foi o grande responsável pelo fracasso alvinegro em 2025? John Textor e o planejamento inexistente? Davide Ancelotti e a inexperiência de quem faz seu primeiro trabalho como técnico? Ou os jogadores, que não justificam em campo o alto valor do terceiro elenco mais caro do Brasil? Rafa Barros, Pedro Dep, Sérgio Santana e Camilo Pinheiro Machado analisam, e vale tudo pra tentar entender esse roteiro confuso e de difícil solução.

A disparada dos preços do cacau nos últimos anos dá o que falar na Amazônia e impulsiona um movimento tímido, porém crescente, de produtores rurais que decidem reduzir o rebanho de gado e apostar na matéria-prima do chocolate. Na economia da floresta em pé, o cacau desponta não apenas como uma alternativa promissora de renda, como pode ser vetor de recuperação de áreas desmatadas.  Lúcia Müzell, enviada especial da RFI a Marabá, Assentamento Tuerê e Altamira (Pará) Na região de Marabá, na fronteira leste do desmatamento da Amazônia no Pará, restam apenas vestígios do que um dia já foi tomado pela floresta. Dos dois lados da rodovia Transamazônica, obra faraônica do período da ditadura militar, predominam extensas áreas de pastagens para a criação de gado.   É neste contexto que culturas agrícolas alternativas à pecuária, ou pelo menos complementares, aparecem como um caminho para conter este processo de avanço da agricultura em direção à mata. O cacau é uma das que melhor se associa à floresta nativa da Amazônia.   Sob a copa de árvores como cumaru e andiroba, e com manejo adequado, a planta é mais resistente às pragas, tem maior durabilidade e dá frutos de melhor qualidade, com maior valor de mercado.  Ao contrário de outros grandes produtores mundiais, em especial na África – onde a monocultura de cacau “a pleno sol” leva ao desmatamento –, no Brasil o plantio do fruto hoje ocupa áreas já degradadas ou em consórcio com outras culturas.  O pequeno agricultor Rubens Miranda, 73 anos, chegou a Marabá aos 17 e, desde então, trabalha na roça e cria gado. Mas desde 2016, a área de pasto da sua propriedade de 27 hectares está cada vez menor – dando lugar a uma variada produção em sistema agroflorestal (SAF), da qual o cacau é estrela.  "Estou com só 25 cabeças agora. Eu tinha 70 quando eu comecei a investir no plantio", conta ele.  Produção de cacau por agricultores familiares No Pará, líder nacional no setor, mais de 80% da produção do cacau vem da agricultura familiar e 70% se desenvolve em sistemas agroflorestais como este, de acordo com um levantamento de 2022 da Embrapa Amazônia Oriental. Mas nem sempre foi assim.   Na era dourada do cacau na Bahia, que alçou o país a maior produtor mundial no século 20, a produção em monocultura empobreceu a Mata Atlântica no nordeste. As lições da história agora servem de alerta para o avanço da cultura na Amazônia.  "O que a gente vê no cacau é um exemplo de retorno de atividades agrícolas rentáveis trazendo árvores para o sistema. A gente entende que os consórcios são muito bem-vindos, fazem bem para a cultura do cacau, e são uma solução mais adequada para o que a gente está vivendo, especialmente as mudanças climáticas", indica João Eduardo Ávila, engenheiro agrônomo do Imaflora (Instituto de Manejo e Certificação Florestal e Agrícola).   O instituto é um dos que levam capacitação técnica para os pequenos agricultores não repetirem os mesmos erros do passado. "A cacauicultura tem um potencial enorme de renda para as famílias, para que elas não fiquem só dependentes da pecuária", frisa.   A cultura também exerce um papel positivo contra a crise climática: com manejo adequado e à sombra de outras árvores, tem potencial de acumular até 60 toneladas de carbono por hectare no solo, operando como sumidouro de CO2 em regiões que sofrem cada vez mais as consequências do desmatamento.   Retorno financeiro é maior, mas não imediato  Mas o cultivo do fruto exige paciência e dedicação: a safra demora cerca de quatro anos para começar, a poda é trabalhosa e, para sair pelo melhor preço, a amêndoa precisa ser fermentada. No final, o retorno financeiro compensa – o quilo é comercializado a cerca de R$ 60, podendo chegar a R$ 90, conforme a qualidade.   Os preços fazem os olhos de Rubens Miranda brilhar. Agora que consegue produzir mais no mesmo espaço de terra, ele se arrepende de, no passado, ter aberto tanta mata para criar gado. "Se fosse hoje, em uns cinco hectares eu trabalhava. Teria sido suficiente."  Organizações da sociedade civil e outras instituições, como a Embrapa e o Ministério Público, além do governo do Pará, fazem um trabalho de longo prazo para convencer os agricultores familiares a migrarem para práticas agrícolas mais sustentáveis. Os gargalos são muitos: conhecimento técnico, logística, dificuldade de acesso aos mercados e, principalmente, recursos limitados para viabilizar a transição.  "Nessa nossa região, é muito importante essa quebra de paradigmas, mostrar que é um resgate a um sistema produtivo que foi se perdendo ao longo do tempo. O monocultivo e a pecuária aqui na região é muito forte por questões históricas: aquela ideia de que você precisaria desmatar tudo para instalar um sistema novo", comenta Gilmar Lima Costa, engenheiro agrônomo do Ministério Público do Pará.  " Você vê muitas extensões de áreas degradadas justamente pela falta de manejo adequado nas pastagens. Não faz a adubação, não faz a correção do solo, não faz a divisão das pastagens e, sempre que é possível, eles adentram e fazem a abertura de uma nova área, sendo que não era necessário fazer isso."    Batalha pelo sustento do dia seguinte Os técnicos do Instituto de Desenvolvimento Florestal e Biodiversidade do Pará (Ideflor Bio) percorrem o Estado para acompanhar a transição destes agricultores e oferecer mudas de espécies nativas da Amazônia, e assim estimular a recomposição florestal. Mas Marcio Holanda, gerente do escritório regional em Carajás, reconhece que os que trabalham em SAF ainda são uma minoria.   "Hoje, com as mudanças climáticas, a gente tem que incentivar, apoiar e buscar condições, buscando parceiros, se juntando para que os sistemas agroflorestais cumpram também a missão ambiental, num processo de reflorestamento, e na questão da geração de renda desses agricultores, porque já é comprovado que é viável", afirma.  A 300 quilômetros a oeste, a organização Solidaridad busca aumentar a conscientização na região de Novo Repartimento e no Assentamento Tuerê, conhecido como o maior da América Latina. Historicamente, os assentamentos de terras registram índices superiores de desmatamento do que outras áreas da Amazônia – uma herança da campanha de ocupação da região por meio da devastação, a partir dos anos 1960.   Para grande parte dos pequenos produtores, a maioria imigrantes de outros estados do Brasil, a principal preocupação é garantir o sustento do dia seguinte, salienta Pedro Souza dos Santos, coordenador de campo da entidade.  "Isso é um desafio para nós. Quando a gente vê como era antes, o que é hoje, com o marco do Código Florestal, e o que pode ser no futuro, a gente tem que colocar tudo isso para o produtor, que antes ele não enxergava. Ele enxergava só o agora", diz. "A gente vem colocando na cabeça do produtor que ele pode produzir sem agredir, sem desmatar e que, nessa área aberta, ele pode ter o uso das tecnologias para ele avançar e ter uma produção sustentável. Mas ainda falta muito. Nós somos um pingo na Amazônia, tentando fazer essa transformação, dia após dia, ano após ano, fazendo aquela insistência, voltando lá de novo, dando acompanhamento", afirma Santos.  Cacau como ferramenta de regeneração florestal O agricultor Jackson da Silva Costa, na localidade de Rio Gelado, simboliza essas vulnerabilidades da região. Desde o ano passado, a venda da produção de gado dele está embargada por desmatamento ilegal. Para voltar ao mercado, Jackson precisará recuperar a mata que derrubou ilegalmente em 2023.   Nos seus 24 hectares de terra, ele já produz cacau há muito tempo. Agora, o aumento da área destinada ao fruto vai ser o caminho para a regularização do passivo ambiental gerado pela pecuária.  "O entendimento que a gente tem é o seguinte: 'você não pode desmatar'. Só que chega um ponto em que é assim: 'eu vou fazer aqui e depois eu vou ver o que vai dar'", relata Costa. "Eu tenho consciência de que eu fui errado e por isso eu perdi. A conta chega e não tem para onde correr. Eu vou ter que pagar o que eu devo."   Pagar o preço, para ele, significa isolar os 5 hectares desmatados e deixar a floresta se regenerar. Em consórcio, poderá plantar cacau e outros frutos compatíveis com a mata, como o açaí ou o cupuaçu.  "Esse capim aqui já não vai me servir. Eu vou deixar ele já para iniciar o processo de reflorestamento", indica, ao mostrar uma área entre o local onde ele já plantava cacau e o que restou de floresta virgem na sua propriedade. "Eu vou deixar que árvores nativas cresçam. Mas com o cultivo do cacau que vai vir, com certeza vai dar uma rentabilidade maior. E quando eu for replantar, eu já quero colocar cacau de qualidade."   Histórias de sucesso do chocolate da Amazônia  Os encontros com a equipe da Solidariedad são importantes para manter a motivação de agricultores como Jackson, em meio às dificuldades de uma vida com poucos confortos. Nas conversas, Pedro traz as histórias de sucesso de cacauicultores da região, que conquistaram até prêmios no exterior pela qualidade do chocolate produzido na Amazônia.  "O entendimento de que o produtor tem que esperar o momento certo para as amêndoas chegarem no ponto, tem que mandar uma amostra para teste e só depois vender, demora. A maioria aqui são produtores pequenos, que querem colher, processar todo o manejo rapidamente e logo vender", ressalta. "Mas quando ele faz o cacau fino, que é uma minoria muito baixa, e vende por um preço melhor, ele não quer sair mais. "   Há cerca de 10 anos, a produção do Pará superou a da Bahia, antiga líder histórica do setor no Brasil. Na região de Altamira, maior polo produtor do Estado, a fabricante Abelha Cacau transforma o produto da região não apenas em chocolate, como explora o universo de 30 derivados possíveis do cacau – mel, suco, chá, manteiga, adubo e até cerveja.   "De um quilo de cacau seco, a gente consegue extrair, em média, quase metade de manteiga, que hoje está a R$ 200. Ou seja, só esse derivado já tem mais de 100% de lucro", explica. "E se eu pego o que resta para fazer cacau em pó, vai vir mais R$ 200 o quilo. Ou seja, eu estou vendendo a R$ 60, onde eu poderia tirar 400. E se eu transformo isso em barras de chocolate, eu multiplico isso por mais dez. O valor agregado só vai escalonado".  O Brasil hoje oscila entre o sétimo e o sexto lugar entre os maiores produtores mundiais da commoditie. O setor busca recuperar posições no ranking, mas sob bases diferentes das que impulsionaram os prósperos ciclos do cacau nos séculos 19 e 20.   A meta é dobrar a produção atual e chegar ao fim da década com 400 mil toneladas por ano. "A gente está vendo que isso está acontecendo, não só a ampliação da área, mas também novas tecnologias, variedades mais produtivas existentes, adubação, orientação técnica, tecnologias de equipamentos para beneficiar as amêndoas de cacau", salienta João Ávila, coordenador do programa Cacau 2030, do Imaflora.  Um dos objetivos do programa é promover a rastreabilidade da cadeia, essencial para garantir a sustentabilidade do cacau brasileiro. "Ainda é muito incipiente, quando comparada as outras cadeias, como café, por exemplo", reconhece Ávila. "Mas a gente já tem uma cartilha com um passo a passo mais claro, para que todo mundo tenha sua participação responsável, tanto no ambiente fiscal quanto socioambiental."   * Esta é a quarta reportagem da série Caminhos para uma Amazônia sustentável, do podcast Planeta Verde. As reportagens, parcialmente financiadas pelo Imaflora, vão ao ar todas as quintas-feiras até a COP30 em Belém, em novembro.

//The Wire//2300Z October 8, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS HEAT UP IN CHICAGO AS LOCAL FORCES RESIST FEDERAL POLICING OF CRIME. DC CHURCH BOMBER DETAILS RELEASED, INDICATING INITIAL REPORTS WERE MISLEADING. DOJ TARGETS 2A GROUP AS JUDGE ORDERS DOXING OF ALL NONPROFIT MEMBERS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Illinois: The situation in Chicago remains tense following a general state of unrest surrounding illegal immigration policing efforts. Over the past few days, several incidents have taken place, which have contributed to the declining security situation around the city. A few days ago, a vehicle ramming attack was conducted on an ICE convoy transiting through the city. During the incident, a general state of chaos developed and ICE agents requested local police to assist with the incident. This call for assistance arrived at dispatch, where a stand-down order was given. All Chicago Police Officers were ordered to not assist ICE agents, even though a state of life and death was already underway.Analyst Comment: There has been a lot of media spin regarding this incident, but the audio tape of the radio traffic of this incident confirms beyond all doubt that the stand down order was given. As a result of this incident, a substantial federal response should be expected. A few hundred National Guard soldiers have been deployed throughout Chicago as of last week, all of which have been emplaced as security forces to guard federal buildings. However, since the relationship between local and federal officials has become antagonistic (per the orders of the Mayor and Governor), it would not be surprising to see some much heavier forces on the ground in Chicago very soon.Washington D.C. - Following the arrest of a man outside St. Matthew's Cathedral on Sunday, more details have come to light regarding the case. Police initially reported that they made contact with the man after he set up a camping tent on the front steps of the church before Mass. After causing a scene, it was initially reported by authorities that the man was searched, and a Molotov incendiary device was found. However, this was not the full story...a search of his possessions revealed that the man had over 200 homemade IEDs, along with a manifesto specifically referencing his desire to target Supreme Court Justices (along with a longer list of other targets).Analyst Comments: The details of this incident are a far cry from what DC Metro Police initially reported. Authorities also left out the details that they never even made contact with the man regarding his tent; when police tried to approach him initially, he threatened to throw an IED at them. To get the man to stand down and surrender, police had to agree to read the man's manifesto, which they did, ending the incident. Despite the scale and context of this attempted terror attack, the DoJ has not made any comment on whether Louis Geri will face federal terrorism charges.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Also in Washington, controversy has emerged following the targeting of a Second Amendment nonprofit organization by the Department of Justice. The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is an organization that launches lawsuits against entities which restrict gun rights. Recently, they launched a lawsuit against the federal government, challenging the federal ban on FFL's from selling handguns to individuals under the age of 21. During this lawsuit, discrepancies arose, which required an injunction to be filed regarding who was involved in the lawsuit. During the legalistic developments in this case, DoJ attorneys were able to convince a federal judge that all of the members of the SAF were part of the lawsuit...not just the nonprofit itself, or those invested in the lawsuit. In short, what this means is that a federal judge has ordered a gun rights non profit to turn over a list of all of their mem

Send us a textOn this week's episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, Bruce Fleming, Chief Executive Officer of Montana Renewables, an unrestricted subsidiary of Calumet (NASDAQ ticker CLMT), joined Tim Gerdeman, Vice Chair & Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Water Tower Research, and Peter Gastreich, Energy and Sustainable Investing Analyst at Water Tower Research to discuss: 1) the company's role as the largest SAF producer in the Western Hemisphere; 2) key advantages including repurposing existing hardware for SAF production and proximity to carbon preference markets; 3) low cost expansion plans to reach up to 10x current SAF capacity by 2028; 4) the imminent squeeze in SAF markets and potential upward pressure on pricing; 5) the need for open feedstock policies and support of domestic agriculture and energy security; 6) top misconceptions about the SAF industry; and 7) other key topics.

Policy is slamming the countryside. Chris Clayton (DTN/Progressive Farmer) explains how tariffs, China's pivot to Brazilian soybeans, and a USDA shutdown are colliding with harvest to pressure basis, storage, and cash flow—and to derail rural land sales. We dig into why China (historically 25–33% of U.S. soybean demand) is buying from Brazil (COFCO/ports, crush), how that drives basis widening and elevator capacity issues, and what could actually move the needle: biofuels (biodiesel/renewable diesel, ethanol, SAF). We also lay out shutdown fallout—FSA farm ownership/operating loans stalled, CRP payments paused, NRCS (EQIP/CSP) frozen—plus the limited upside from CCC/ECAP‑style aid. If you buy/sell rural land or advise landowners, this is the unvarnished read on farmland values, buyer pools, and the next 3–6 months. Why It Matters Deals slip/die: FSA loans are stopped, shrinking the buyer pool just as post‑harvest listings hit. Cash crunch: Basis widening + storage pressure at harvest reduce liquidity for down payments and improvements.

In this episode, we speak with Trevor Best, Co-founder and CEO of Syzygy Plasmonics, who shares how his company's proprietary photocatalytic technology converts waste biogas into sustainable aviation fuel, and has the potential to reach fossil jet fuel parity. Best discusses:NovaSAF's unique value proposition: converting biogas from landfills, dairy farms, and wastewater treatment plants into SAF, simultaneously addressing methane emissions whilst decarbonising aviation transport.The technology's competitive advantage: using light instead of heat which enables the use of raw biogas without extensive cleanup, scaling efficiently at smaller sites, and increasing yield by incorporating CO2 into the fuel rather than separating it out.Strategic targeting of stranded biogas assets that are far from natural gas grids, which helps secure feedstock at low prices $5-6 per MMBtu, making jet fuel parity achievable.How Syzygy is building the world's first biogas-to-SAF plant in Uruguay, that can produce 400,000 gallons of SAF anually, serving as proof of concept before scaling to 100,000 tons per year by 2030 through clustered developments.The global biogas opportunity: the International Energy Agency estimates reserves could theoretically produce 580 million tons per year of SAF, exceeding total global jet fuel consumption, though 95% remains stranded today.Best also shares his leadership philosophy: the importance of listening over talking, the inevitability of failure in entrepreneurship, and why persistence matters more than avoiding mistakes.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Dave Kettner, President and General Counsel at Virent, who shares the company's pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future in aviation.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses significant developments in gun rights, including a recent court ruling that affirms the right to carry firearms in post offices. He emphasizes the importance of joining organizations like the NRA and SAF to support these rights. The conversation also touches on the evolution of gun laws, community responsibility, and the contrast between gun owners and those who oppose them. David Codrea joins the discussion, providing insights into current events and legislative updates affecting gun ownership. Takeaways The recent court ruling allows firearms in post offices for members of SAF and FPC. Joining gun rights organizations is crucial for advocacy and support. Gun owners are often the most peaceable members of society. The left often initiates violence while blaming gun owners. Community engagement is essential for responsible gun ownership. Historical perspectives show that gun rights have evolved significantly. Legislative changes are happening, and gun owners must stay informed. Support for gun rights is a collective effort that requires unity. The importance of understanding the criteria for restoring gun rights is paramount. Current events in Canada reflect trends that could affect U.S. gun rights.

Farm margins are tight and the headlines aren't lying—tariffs, fertilizer and machinery costs, and labor constraints are hitting producers. Jackson Takach (Farmer Mac) breaks down what's signal vs. noise. What we cover: Tariffs 101: Section 301 (unfair trade), 232 (national security), and IEEPA actions (the biggest bucket and under legal challenge). Why these hit steel/aluminum and fertilizer components—and how that flows to implement and input prices. Costs that pay back vs. pure drag: seed tech and risk-reduction can be worth it; fertilizer, machinery and labor are harder to offset—2026 looks tighter than 2025. Adaptation that actually helps: proven tech + regenerative practices to reduce input reliance. Bankruptcies: Chapter 12 filings are up in Arkansas and Nebraska—rising from 2023–24 lows back toward 2018–20 levels. Regional stress drivers: soy/rice/cotton marketing pain and flooding in AR; feedlot squeeze and weaker soy export pull in NE. Policy + relief: ongoing US–China trade talks; ~$15–20B of prior-year USDA aid still to deploy; Farm Bill politics and PLC “facelift” dynamics. Opportunities: growing global protein demand, renewable diesel/SAF, and more U.S. soybean crush capacity. Labor & immigration: H‑2A works for seasonal crops; year‑round gaps push automation. AI's real role: better data sense‑making and lending workflows—not replacing credit decisions. Land values: Midwest stabilizing/slipping, Southeast firming, West = water‑dependent.

Aviation and marine transport together account for approximately 15% of global oil consumption—a substantial share driven by sectors that are among the hardest to decarbonize. Unlike road transport or power generation, these industries face unique constraints: the high energy density required, long operating ranges, and the limitations of onboard storage mean that electrification or hydrogen solutions remain technologically and economically unfeasible in the near to medium term.In response, policymakers and industry leaders are increasingly focusing on low-carbon liquid fuels as transitional solutions. Chief among these are Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), both of which can be used in existing infrastructure and engines with minimal modification. These fuels can be of biological origin—typically derived from waste oils, agricultural residues, or purpose-grown feedstocks—or synthetic origin, such as Power-to-Liquid (PtL) fuels produced via electrolysis and CO₂ capture.Globally, significant efforts are underway to scale up these alternatives. The European Union, for instance, has introduced blending mandates through the ReFuelEU Aviation and FuelEU Maritime regulations, requiring a gradual increase in the share of SAF or other renewable fuels used in transport. These policies are supported by a range of subsidies, research programs, and emissions trading mechanisms (e.g., EU ETS inclusion for aviation and shipping), all designed to stimulate supply and demand for cleaner fuels.To help unpack the complex interplay of technical, economic, and regulatory challenges, we invited Callum McPherson, Chair of its Sustainable Business Forum and Head of Commodities at Investec, a London-based investment bank. With a mandate to structure and trade a wide array of fuels, Callum provides real-world insight into how these markets are evolving—and the limitations that remain.Some of the key topics Laurent and Gerard explored with Callum included: Which green fuels have realistic pathways to scale, and which are unlikely to work due to poor energy return on investment, unsustainable feedstocks, or prohibitively high costs? How will regional mandates, particularly those in the EU, impact global markets—and will they be enforceable in practice? What role will synthetic fuels play, given their dependence on clean electricity, high capital costs, and still-immature supply chains?What emerges is a highly nuanced picture. Despite the political momentum and technological progress, the fundamental economics remain challenging. Current estimates suggest that the cost of abating one tonne of CO₂ in these sectors can easily exceed €1,000 requiring considerable public support, whether stick or carrot.High costs and regulatory uncertainties are probably some of the reasons why Shell has decided not to complete the construction of a SAF refinery in Rotterdam.Laurent and Gerard conclude that while green fuels are a necessary part of the decarbonization toolkit, they are far from a silver bullet. The financial and ecological trade-offs are significant, and at current cost trajectories, these fuels will make only a marginal dent in overall emissions curves—at least in the near term.  Finally, an excellent book on the general topic of biofuels by Michael Grunwald:  "We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate."“The views and opinions expressed by Callum Macpherson are his own and are provided for information purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice, recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any financial products or commodities.

Dr. Stephen Beaton is Co-founder and CEO of Circularity Fuels, which develops compact reactors that turn waste carbon streams into high-value fuels and chemicals. Rather than compete with fossil fuels from the start, Stephen identified high-purity methane for lab-grown diamonds as a beachhead market—where Circularity's product is 80–90% cheaper than incumbents while proving the core technology needed for clean liquid fuels.Stephen earned a chemistry PhD at Oxford and built deep expertise in synthetic fuels during his U.S. Air Force career, including overseeing jet fuel quality control in the Middle East and launching the Air Force's e-fuels program. His insight: build a fuels company that doesn't begin with fuel.Today, Circularity Fuels operates demonstration reactors in diamond facilities and is scaling toward biogas-to-SAF production using the same reactor platform. The company has raised $3M in venture funding, including from DCVC, plus $5M in grants from ARPA-E, NSF, and the California Energy Commission.
