A biogas-to-fuel SAF system developed by the US startup Syzygy Plasmonics is sparking a fresh round of interest, now that the Iran war has cut the cost gap between sustainable aviation fuels and conventional kerosene jet fuel.
A mere quarter ago, we were celebrating the first time ever Latin America had seen more than 100,000 EVs sold in only three months.
