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]

BiofuelsPartners and EnergyPro have forged a new strategic partnership aimed at advancing the development of HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) trading within the EMEA market. This collaboration is an important step towards creating a more connected and transparent renewable fuels value chain and accelerating the integration of supply... [Read More]

Indonesia is taking a major step toward its renewable energy goals with the advancement of its ambitious B50 biodiesel mandate, positioning the country at the forefront of global biofuel innovation. Following successful laboratory engine testing of a 50 % palm oil–based biodiesel blend, the nation is preparing for road trials ahead of a full rollout in 2026. Currently... [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]

Bangkok Airways has officially announced the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on its commercial flights. The initiative took effect earlier in the summer. Captain Puttipong Prasarttong-Osoth, president of Bangkok Airways Public Company Limited, said: “The official use of SAF on commercial flights marks a significant milestone in the airline’s transition...

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]

China is the world's largest importer of rapeseed and in August, the country imposed preliminary anti-dumping duties on rapeseed sourced from Canada, after having already introduced tariffs on rapeseed meal and rapeseed oil in March. However, China still relies on imports of rapeseed and rapeseed products, as its domestic output is insufficient to fully meet demand.... [Read More]
