Decarbonising the transport sector is one of the most pressing challenges in the global fight against climate change.
While electrification is a viable solution for light mobility, aviation and maritime shipping require alternative fuels that offer high energy density and compatibility with existing infrastructure.
In this context, advanced biofuels produced through... [Read More]

Bioethanol utilises biological materials like plants to extract sugar for fermentation. The type of biomass determines the biofuel generation.
Algae, which is associated with third generation biofuel, has advantageous characteristics that can be more efficient and sustainable compared to first and second generation biofuels.
Pretreatment of third generation biofuel... [Read More]

Asia’s development potential as a biofuels production resource continues to grow, driven by ambitious energy transition objectives and equally bold net zero targets.
While hugely diverse and progressive, however, the region could never be termed a risk-free, or even low-risk, investment environment.
There is, nevertheless, much to recommend it as a focus for advancing... [Read More]

Europe’s transport emissions remain stubbornly high. Efficiency gains from vehicle hybridisation help – and while fully electric vehicle sales are growing – they remain a very minor fraction of the EU’s overall passenger vehicle fleet. Every year spent waiting for future solutions locks in millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases (GHGs) unnecessarily.
Additionally,... [Read More]
