On November tenth, a groundbreaking collaboration between Malaysias PETRONAS, Italys Enilive, and Japans Euglena initiated the construction of a new biorefinery in Malaysia. This pioneering project, set to commence operations in the second half of 2028, aims to produce sustainable fuels on a large scale. The facility, located in Pengerang, will process up to six hundred and fifty thousand tonnes of renewable materials annually, creating cleaner alternatives to traditional fuels such as sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogenated vegetable oil, and bio-naphtha. This venture marks a significant step for Malaysia in becoming a key hub for advanced biofuel production in Asia, aligning with the regions growing need to reduce its carbon footprint in transportation, particularly aviation. The project is central to PETRONASs strategy, expands Enilives global biofuel efforts, and signifies a milestone for Euglena in commercializing algal biofuels and expanding decarbonization solutions in the ASEAN region.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
