#EPA investigating the supply chains of at least 2 #renewable fuel producers.

The production of #biodiesel from sustainable ingredients, like used cooking oil, can earn refiners #environmental & #climate subsidies under the EPA’s #RenewableFuel Standard. But some supplies labeled as used cooking oil are actually cheaper & less #sustainable virgin palm oil, which is associated w/ #deforestation & other environmental damage.

Exclusive: US EPA says it is auditing biofuel producers' used cooking oil supply

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has launched investigations into the supply chains of at least two renewable fuel producers amid industry concerns that some may be using fraudulent feedstocks for biodiesel to secure lucrative government subsidies.

I'm skeptical of the over-unity efficiency claims, but this system would be a fascinating precursor to a magnesium fuel electrolytic refinery system.

Green hydrogen, power generation tech based on compressed air storage, solid-oxide electrolysis cells

Scientists in Korea have developed a compressed air storage system that can be used as a combined cooling, heat, and power system and provide heat and power to solid-oxide electrolysis cells for hydrogen generation. It showed an overall roundtrip efficiency of 121.2% and over-unity efficiencies in the range of 100% to 120%.
