A consortium comprising of six firms have collaborated to develop Asia’s first green e-methanol plant. Capable of converting captured biogenic carbon dioxide and green hydrogen produced from renewable electricity into green e-methanol, the pilot plant will be established in Singapore and the low-cost fuel will be supplied to the maritime industry.

Uniper, Hydrogenious and Jera Americas have entered into a joint study agreement with Adnoc to explore hydrogen transportation between the UAE and Germany. Hydrogenious’ Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology will also be used for this venture.

Sasol has joined Aireg, the Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy which aims to encourage de-fossilization of the aviation industry. Sasol will bring its expertise with the Fischer-Tropsch process not only to the member companies but also to firms across the entire value chain for producing sustainable aviation fuels.

Led by Enagás and Acciona, the Power to Green Hydrogen Mallorca Project is developed on the island of Mallorca in Spain. The company aims to reduce CO2 emissions on the island by up to 21,000 tons annually after full implementation of its green hydrogen ecosystem.

Vynova has recently installed a hydrogen-fired steam boiler at its Tessenderlo site in Belgium and is also planning to add another boiler by the year end. With these, the firm intends to reduce CO2 emissions by 10,000 tons per year at its site.

Ammonia is commonly used in fertilizer because it has the highest nitrogen content of commercial fertilizers, making it essential for crop production. However, its production releases carbon dioxide. Electrochemical processes could reduce this impact on the climate.
