Mexican authorities just shut down one of the country's largest fuel theft operations, seizing $7.2 million in assets and arresting 14 people after a year-long investigation. The criminal network had smuggled over 564 million liters of fuel worth $1.3 billion since 2023.
The US Treasury and Mexico's financial intelligence unit just launched joint sanctions targeting a major cartel fuel smuggling operation that generates tens of millions annually. This cross-border partnership marks a new era of cooperation in dismantling cartels' non-drug revenue streams.
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. #
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.
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.
Nigeria's navy intercepted 44,000 liters of stolen fuel and arrested eight suspects in Rivers State, dealing a major blow to oil theft networks. The weekend operation shows the country's fight against fuel smuggling is gaining ground.
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.
Singapore is building Asia's largest sustainable aviation fuel plant that will produce 100,000 tons of eco-friendly jet fuel annually. The facility uses breakthrough technology that turns waste into fuel ready to power planes without any blending required.
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 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.
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.
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.
For every dollar invested in fossil fuels this year, nearly two dollars are flowing into clean energy. Even when you add massive government subsidies to fossil fuels, clean energy still comes out ahead.
Chinese researchers just solved a problem that's stumped scientists for decades, turning carbon pollution into clean fuel three times faster than before. The breakthrough could help recycle CO2 emissions while producing methanol, a fuel that powers everything from ships to everyday products.
Scientists created a self-regulating solar device that transforms water and CO2 into usable fuel, eliminating the need for expensive batteries. The breakthrough could make clean fuel production simpler and cheaper for everyday use.
Tasmania just passed emergency laws allowing the government to cap fuel prices when they spike unreasonably. With fuel hitting $2.87 per liter in some areas, the new rules also force companies to report supply levels and face penalties if they don't comply.
