Horse Powertrain’s D20 range-extender engine burns 100% methanol at 47% brake thermal efficiency, offering a credible e-methanol end-use pathway for road electrification without full battery dependency.
A P2H2 and Repsol demonstration using anion-exchange-membrane electrolysis has exceeded projected system lifetimes of 50,000 hours, a result that directly compresses the levelised cost of green hydrogen feeding Power-to-Liquid e-fuel plants.
UMeWorld’s Project Verdant has crossed a critical process-engineering threshold, advancing into Front-End Engineering Design contractor selection for its sustainable aviation fuel facility in Malaysia.
European sustainable aviation fuel prices surged 31% in Q2 2026 to $2,830 per tonne, driven by Strait of Hormuz disruption and the removal of RED III double-counting credits — a stress test that reveals how thinly engineered today’s SAF supply chain really is.
The European Commission has approved a €103 million Dutch state-aid programme to fund newbuilds and retrofits converting passenger and cargo short-sea vessels to methanol and hydrogen propulsion.
Twenty organisations spanning shipping, ports, energy and equipment sectors have joined China’s new Methanol-Fuel Shipping Supply Chain Innovation Alliance, signalling a coordinated push to engineer an end-to-end e-methanol production and bunkering infrastructure.
Geological hydrogen emerges as a potential clean energy source, with exploration efforts accelerating despite limited technical data on extraction and processing infrastructure.
