European oil refineries bet on green projects to secure long-term future
Pressured by environmental regulations and competition from modern plants, European refineries have been trying to ramp up production of cleaner products such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and biofuels to meet regulatory demand for such fuels.
ITOCHU to supply low-carbon methanol fuel for NYK Line at Port of Ulsan
