LPG fuel costs half the price of petrol and produces fewer emissions, yet it's vanishing from Australian roads. Now some motorists are asking why this locally produced alternative isn't part of the conversation about fuel security.
Electric scooters and e-bikes are flying off the shelves in New Zealand as rising petrol prices push more people toward affordable, eco-friendly transportation. TradeMe searches for e-scooters jumped 68% compared to last year, signaling a major shift in how Kiwis get around.
Singapore is building a facility that will produce 100,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually, helping Asia's aviation industry shift away from carbon-heavy jet fuel. The plant on Jurong Island could make Singapore the region's leading green aviation fuel hub. #
Chinese researchers have created a plant-inspired process that converts carbon dioxide and water into fuel components using nothing but solar energy. The breakthrough could provide sustainable alternatives for industries like aviation and shipping that can't easily switch to electric power.
A Houston company just cracked the code on turning landfill gas into clean jet fuel using light instead of fire. Their first commercial plant in Uruguay will cut aviation emissions by 90% while making fuel cheaper than the fossil version.
Australia is turning agricultural waste and other biomass into clean diesel and jet fuel, tackling both emissions and energy independence. The country imports 50 billion liters of fuel annually, but scientists say homegrown alternatives could power planes, ships, and remote industries within years.
Vietnam is making major moves to produce cleaner airplane fuel that could transform air travel across Southeast Asia. The country's new policies and investments signal a breakthrough for green aviation.
Researchers discovered a breakthrough form of clean energy material by tracking what happens during heating, revealing hidden "in-between" stages that could power better solar fuels and batteries. The unexpected find shows that the journey from raw ingredients to finished product matters just as much as the destination.
A new fuel cell platform can now power data centers and factories without burning fossil fuels, running on hydrogen or biofuels with 75% efficiency. The technology works like a battery that never needs charging, converting fuel directly into electricity without harmful emissions.
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory created a breakthrough method that turns ethanol into jet fuel in just one step, potentially making sustainable aviation fuel affordable enough for airlines worldwide. The technology could help meet aviation's massive fuel needs while cutting emissions.
More than 25 countries just committed to dramatically scale up clean fuel production by 2035, marking a major shift in global energy policy. The move comes as new research shows clean fuels could transform hard-to-decarbonize industries while creating thousands of jobs.
A Chilean forestry company is turning sawdust into jet fuel, partnering with local gas distributors and German engineers to create sustainable aviation fuel from forest waste and renewable hydrogen. The circular economy project could produce 300 tons of clean fuel annually starting in 2027.
The University of Sheffield just opened the UK's first specialized lab to test sustainable aviation fuel, helping producers cut through red tape faster. The breakthrough could speed up Britain's shift to cleaner skies while boosting fuel security.
The Gambia brought together fuel industry leaders, regulators, and consumer advocates to build a roadmap for safer, higher-quality fuel nationwide. The move promises cleaner air, better engines, and stronger ties with neighboring countries.
A Korean research team has built a pilot plant that turns trash into jet fuel, producing 100 kilograms of sustainable aviation fuel every day from landfill gas. The breakthrough could help airlines slash carbon emissions while solving two problems at once: waste and pollution.
Australia is preparing to double its emergency fuel supply to 60 days, ensuring the nation can withstand global oil crises. The $800 million plan would add over 1 billion litres of storage for petrol, diesel, and jet fuel.
The East Coast is building a massive hydrogen fueling network to help freight trucks go green without the long charging waits of electric vehicles. Federal funding of $750 million is creating fuel stations from Boston to Washington D.C., solving the chicken-and-egg problem that's kept clean trucks off the road.
Sweden just unveiled a comprehensive national plan to become Europe's leader in sustainable aviation and maritime fuels, positioning itself to meet soaring demand while creating thousands of green jobs. The Nordic nation is already producing sustainable aviation fuel at eight times the EU average.
Deep beneath Michigan's surface lies geologic hydrogen, a naturally occurring clean fuel that could power ships and trucks without emissions. Governor Whitmer just launched an initiative to tap this billion-year-old energy source that requires far less energy to extract than manufacturing hydrogen from scratch.
Chinese researchers created a material that mimics plant photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into fuel using only sunlight. This breakthrough could produce sustainable fuel that works with existing gas stations and engines.
