In China, SHEIN has signed an agreement with DHL to adopt its GoGreen Plus service, supporting the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) within air cargo logistics. The collaboration forms part of SHEIN’s broader efforts to explore approaches for reducing carbon emissions associated with air transport, while engaging with broader industry initiatives to scale sustainable […]
In China, EcoCeres Inc. has launched a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) pilot program in China, codenamed “Project Spark”, together with The Second Research Institute of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CASRI), China National Aviation Fuel Group (CNAF), China Southern Airlines, Air China Cargo, Sichuan Airlines, and Huarong Chemical, completing a closed loop SAF green value […]
In China, in a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, a research team led by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with Prof. WANG Guoxiong from Fudan University, achieved efficient bicarbonate-mediated integrated carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and electrolysis to CO through an ionomer-driven reaction microenvironment […]
In China, against the backdrop of global efforts to combat climate change and accelerate the energy transition, equipment manufacturing giant Weichai is contributing green and low-carbon solutions to the shipping and public transport sectors with its diversified clean energy power systems. In Singapore, a global maritime hub, Weichai is actively exploring the application of alternative fuels such […]
In China, with more than 3,600 tons of biomethanol bunkered, the CMA CGM OSMIUM has become the first vessel in the fleet to run on biomethanol – a low-carbon fuel offering lifecycle greenhouse gas emission reductions of 65% compared with conventional marine fuels. She was bunkered at Shanghai’s Yangshan Port, in what also turned out […]
In China, a research team has developed a new strategy to improve catalysts used to remove nitrogen oxides from industrial emissions. By using ethanol during catalyst preparation, the scientists significantly enhanced the performance of manganese based carbon catalysts, achieving very high pollution removal efficiency at relatively low temperatures. The findings were published in the journal […]
In China, Nextchem, through its technology licensing subsidiary Conser, has been awarded a licensing and Process Design Package for its biobased dimethyl succinate and 1,4-butanediol coproduction technologies, dubbed NX CONSER MAN and NX CONSER Duetto. The licensee was not named, although Nextchem did reveal it was a major state-owned chemical player in China. The agreement […]
In China, purification of bioethanol from fermentation broths is a critical step in renewable fuel production. Pervaporation has emerged as a sustainable and highly efficient method for bioethanol extraction. In this process, mixed matrix membranes containing specialized nanofillers can selectively separate ethanol from water. However, the performance of these membranes is often limited by the agglomeration […]
In China, scientists have developed an improved method to convert municipal wastewater sludge into higher quality renewable fuel while significantly reducing harmful nitrogen compounds, offering a promising pathway for cleaner energy and sustainable waste management. Municipal sludge is a by-product of wastewater treatment that is produced in massive quantities worldwide. Managing this material remains a […]
In China, ChemNet reports the Ministry of Commerce has greenlighted Zhoushan Biofuel Oil Blending Supervision Plan while allowing for marine biofuel blending and export. The country is trying to shift its reliance on imported biofuels for blending, building upon the 50,000 tons of biofuel bunkered last year compared to neighboring rivals like Singapore who bunkered […]
