Indonesia’s government says its B50 biodiesel mandate was tested across six sectors, including shipping and rail, and is reviewed every three months. Launched on 9 July, it aims to cut diesel imports alongside a 100 GWp solar programme.
MPA and the China Classification Society renewed their MOU to expand collaboration on maritime decarbonisation, including green fuel value chains, marine electrification and energy efficiency, building on joint work since 2023 such as B100 biofuel on harbour craft.
Malaysia Airports and Malaysia Aviation Group hosted Aviation Sustainability Day 2026 to align airport and airline decarbonisation, with SAF among the topics. MAG is the first Malaysian airline group to retire CORSIA-eligible units, with 80,100 units retired.
Aviation ICAO CORSIA decarbonisation including SAF, hydrogen and emerging fuels, with focus on airlines, policy and supply chains.

Coverage of methanol fuels including bio- and e-methanol for shipping, production pathways and market adoption.
All in Methanol
Rolls-Royce received DNV's Methanol Readiness Certificate for its mtu Series 4000 engines, confirming retrofit capability for future dual-fuel methanol operation. It follows 5,000 hours of methanol engine testing since 2025, targeting offshore vessels, ferries and mega yachts.
Low-carbon fuels for road transport including biofuels, hydrogen and electrification, with policy and market insights.

Coverage of bioethanol markets, production technologies and policy developments across transport and industrial sectors
All in Ethanol
India is reportedly set to bar sugarcane juice, syrup and B-heavy molasses for ethanol from the 2026-27 supply year, as opening sugar stocks fall to 3.75 million tonnes. Grains supply about three-quarters of ethanol, and E20 is expected to hold.
Latest biomethane and biogas developments, including feedstocks, upgrading technologies and policy frameworks.
All in Biogas
An IEA Bioenergy Task 40 synthesis of five case studies across Austria, Germany, Sweden, the US and the North Sea finds regionalization and commoditization are mutually inclusive, not competing strategies. US sugar depots' standardized feedstock model is flagged as foundational for scaling SAF.
Insights into ammonia as a fuel, including maritime applications, production technologies and global trade developments.
All in Ammonia
Germany unveiled its fossil fuel transition roadmap at the UN, becoming the third country after France and the Netherlands to do so, aiming to reduce costly fossil fuel dependence. Germany's biodiesel association welcomed its continued emphasis on sustainable biofuels.
The London Brief pulls together a genuinely rare mix for one afternoon: aviation, maritime and land transport fuels people who normally operate in separate conferences, sharing one stage at Surveyors House, Westminster, on 19 October, 1-5pm
