Agreement for renewable fuels production

Topsoe has entered into an agreement with Texas-based sustainable fuels and chemicals technology company BioVeritas to unlock advantaged feedstocks for existing infrastructure. The agreement will enable fuel producers to license Topsoe’s HydroFlex® technology alongside the Bio-Veritas Process™ to produce renewable fuels from second-generation feedstocks, such as woody biomass, corn stover, wheat straw, and similar waste and residual biomass. The BioVeritas Process™ converts second-generation feedstocks to advantaged intermediates, called KEY-Tones™ that can be processed by Topsoe’s HydroFlex® technology to unlock production of renewable fuels using second-generation feedstock.

Yassir Ghiyati, Chief Commercial Officer, at Topsoe said: “Through this agreement we see a clear opportunity for HydroFlex® and the BioVeritas Process™, to expand feedstock pathways that can help make more SAF and renewable fuel projects viable and support broader deployment globally.”

Zambia implements sulphuric acid export permits

The Zambian government has introduced a new permit system to manage the export of sulphuric acid, which came into effect on 27 March, 2026, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry. The move comes at a time of significant exceptionally high prices and sourcing challenges in the global sulphur market, adding another layer of tightness for regional consumers. The Ministry stated that the measure is designed to correct a "critical market imbalance" and ensure supply for the country's domestic industries. The system aims to safeguard local downstream sectors that rely on the acid, while still ensuring that the needs of the export market are met, it said.
