EcoCeres Inaugurates First Renewable Fuels Plant in Malaysia, Strengthening Global Leadership in SAF

27 Jan 2026

EcoCeres announced the official commissioning of its state-of-the-art renewable fuels plant in Johor, Malaysia, marking the company’s first facility in the country and a key milestone in its global expansion strategy. This project consolidates EcoCeres’ position in the international renewable fuels market and underscores Hong Kong’s role as a strategic platform for innovation and sustainable investment.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Dr. Peter Lee, Chairman of Towngas and a founding investor in EcoCeres, and Matti Lievonen, CEO of EcoCeres, along with Dr. Noraini Ahmad, Malaysia’s Minister of Plantations and Commodities. Government representatives from Malaysia and Hong Kong, as well as customers, strategic partners, shareholders, and senior management, were also present, reflecting the project’s importance to regional cooperation for a low-carbon economy.

The new plant leverages patented waste-to-fuels conversion technology developed in Hong Kong and previously validated at EcoCeres’ facility in Zhangjiagang, China. This technological platform has positioned the company as one of the world’s leading producers of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by volume.

The Johor facility represents a significant advancement in EcoCeres’ regional infrastructure, contributing to Malaysia’s net-zero emissions goals and reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a “superconnector” for financing, developing, and scaling up sustainable energy projects in Asia.

By transforming waste and non-fossil fuels into high-value, low-carbon renewable fuels, EcoCeres is responding to the growing demand from sectors such as aviation, shipping, chemicals, and mining, while supporting Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap.

With the addition of the Johor plant, and together with its Zhangjiagang facility, EcoCeres now has a combined global capacity of approximately 770,000 tons of renewable fuels per year, strengthening a Hong Kong-based regional platform focused on global decarbonization.
