e-fuels: India. Honeywell UOP India  signed an MOU with NTPC Green Energy to explore the potential use of Honeywell’s eFining technology for e-SAF production, using green hydrogen and carbon captured from NTPC’s plants. NTPC Green Energy has a $21.6 billion green hydrogen hub project at Pudimadaka in Andhra Pradesh set to be complete in 2027, and this additional technology could potentially be an add on to it. The project expects to produce 1,500 metric tons per day of green hydrogen and 7,500 tonnes per day of green methanol, green urea and SAF. Link 30/04/2025

Feedstock: Spain. Repsol and Bunge announced a major milestone in the development of renewable fuels in Europe: the incorporation of intermediate novel crops in the production of renewable fuels. Specifically, camelina and safflower will be processed into low-carbon intensity oils and used as feedstock to produce hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a fully compatible drop-in replacement for conventional diesel fuel or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Repsol will utilize advanced technology in its industrial assets to convert these oils into renewable fuel, creating a new pathway for the development of renewable fuels in Spain. Link 30/04/2025

Hydrogen: Germany. Hydrogenious LOHC was granted  a permit to build and operate a hydrogen storage plant based on liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology. The ‘Hector’ plant at Chempark Dormagen in North Rhine-Westphalia will store around 1,800 tonnes of hydrogen per year in Hydrogenious’ LOHC benzyltoluene to advance further research into the technology and supply its planned release plant. Hydrogen produced by Hydrogenious’ shareholder Covestro Deutschland, at its chlorine electrolysis plant, will be used during the project. Link 30/04/2025

Hydrogen: USA. Hyundai will bring a new hydrogen fuelling station online this autumn to serve its fleet of 21 heavy-duty trucks transporting parts to its electric vehicle battery factory in Georgia, US. The 1,200kg per day station will be installed in Pooler, 10 miles outside of the Port of Savannah, near the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) and could be expanded to supply up to 4,200kg of hydrogen per day. Though the source of the hydrogen is still to be confirmed. Link 30/04/2025

Marine fuels: USA. BWC Terminals (BWC) celebrated the official completion of its expanded renewable fuels terminal at the Port of Stockton, marking a significant milestone in strengthening California’s renewable fuels and maritime infrastructure. The state-of-the-art terminal includes the first newly constructed Marine Oil Terminal Engineering and Maintenance Standards (MOTEMS)-compliant dock built in California in nearly 30 years. It will play a vital role in advancing the renewable fuels supply chain across the state. It is designed to safely and efficiently transfer renewable diesel and biodiesel from marine vessels, supporting California’s efforts to decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors such as heavy-duty transportation.
