India may hope to be a disruptor in decarbonisation, but China has been working on it for 25 years – and is some way ahead. The argument was made as part of a wide-ranging panel discussion at gasworld’s Asia-Pacific Industrial Gas Conference 2025 in Bangkok today. Speaking as part of a panel debate moderated by GWGI’s Rob Cockerill, Ravin Mirchandani of Ador Group noted that China has built the scale and developed technologies for decarbonisation, and it can also offer unmatched prices: something like a quarter of the European cost base in many contexts. “That reality puts other regions, like Europe, in real jeopardy,” he added. … to continue reading you must be subscribed To access hundreds of features, subscribe today!

China’s Dalian Shipbuilding Industry (DSIC), part of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), has delivered a new liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) carrier to Northern Lights, a joint venture (JV) encompassing three European oil majors: Shell, Equinor, and TotalEnergies.

Finnish technology company Liquid Sun has launched what it claims is Europe’s first sustainable synthetic aviation fuel (eSAF) pilot plant in Espoo. The unit – built from two large shipping containers – converts biogenic carbon dioxide and hydrogen produced with renewable electricity into synthetic crude oil, which is then refined into eSAF. The pilot has been engineered to meet industrial-scale requirements and the first sample of eSAF crude is ready. Driven by EU aviation regulations, demand for eSAF is set to grow rapidly although it must overcome a range of challenges including hight costs, energy requirements, project funding, policy certainty and feedstock availability. The next step in the pilot production phase is to refine the eSAF crude into synthetic fuel and obtain the certification required under the eSAF regulatory framework. Liquid Sun will strive to scale… Read More »Europe’s first eSAF feedstocks produced in Finland | Methanol & e-fuels
