In July, we delivered our first joint Train-of-Trainers course on renewable PtX fuels for shipping with the International Maritime Organization’s GreenVoyage2050 Programme, as part of our strategic collaboration. Last week, we built on this momentum by launching a toolkit to streamline maritime and energy policy implementation in a joint workshop hosted by the Port of Tanjung Pelepas and the Malaysia Marine Department.

We released a CBAM Readiness Toolkit to provide concrete support for producers preparing for the definitive EU CBAM period. Our policy experts are also supporting the CBAM & ReH2 Helpdesk run by MED-GEM. The first sessions brought together ministries and companies from Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt. This year, our CBAM training informed policymakers and companies in Brazil, Chile and Namibia.

Our Train-of-Trainers saw Kenyan experts take part in an intensive three-week training course in Germany. Through site visits, technical sessions and peer-to-peer learning, the participants gained knowledge of PtX technologies that they can pass on to others back home, helping to expand capacity across the region.

On World Shipping Day in September, we launched a study with the Kenya Maritime Authority and the Global Maritime Forum to identify the most promising Green Shipping Corridors from Kenya. These green corridors could transport goods such as coffee to Germany and flowers to the Netherlands.

This year, our aviation experts delivered training on sustainable aviation, focusing on fuels, in Addis Ababa, Bangkok and São Paulo. As a contribution to the ACT SAF programme of the International Civil Aviation Organization, these sessions will be rolled out further in 2026.

We discussed our work on modelling infrastructure needs for PtX in South Africa, identifying synergies with Namibian infrastructure, and integrating PtX into the country’s overall energy planning with the responsible South African policymakers.

Our recent work has delivered practical guidance on how Argentina can produce RFNBOs that comply with EU regulations, how to fast-track permits, and how to use PtX to help the country reach its climate goals. This guidance supports project developers in bringing projects on the ground.

Based on over four years of project activities in South Africa, this report sets out a strategic roadmap for South Africa’s PtX development. It identifies industrial, regulatory, and infrastructure enablers to drive sustainable growth, global competitiveness, and socio-economic transformation through PtX.

Kenya’s cut flower industry, a major exporter and rural employer, is under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This baseline study demonstrates how green ammonia for fertilisers, synthetic fuels, and ammonia-based refrigeration could defossilise the value chain.

Argentina has strong potential to export certified renewable hydrogen and PtX products to Europe. This study outlines EU certification requirements, analyses challenges for Argentinian projects, and provides guidance to developers aiming to supply competitive, certified PtX and green hydrogen products.

Argentina’s emerging PtX sector navigates complex permitting procedures across federal, provincial, and municipal levels. This report outlines the full permitting landscape, identifies bottlenecks, and provides actionable recommendations, from national guidelines to one-stop digital services, to reduce regulatory risk and accelerate project rollout.
