Port Klang, Malaysia – In a landmark move for sustainable aviation in Asia, Bin Zayed International (Asia) and FatHopes Energy have announced a strategic partnership to develop an integrated sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) refinery in the heart of Malaysia’s port city.

This collaboration unites BZI’s global investment vision with FatHopes Energy’s strong 15-year track record in waste-derived biofuels. The initiative not only seeks to build infrastructure but also to transform aviation’s energy model from Asia to the world.

“This isn’t just a refinery. It’s a new way of flying, driven by sustainability and a local vision,” said Vinesh Sinha, CEO of FatHopes Energy.

The project is aligned with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap and represents a key advancement in energy security, the circular economy, and climate commitment. From local waste to international airlines, Malaysia is positioning itself as a regional leader in the transition to cleaner and more resilient aviation.

Diamond Aircraft Reorganizes Volocopter, Securing Its Future in Germany

April 25 2025

Bruchsal, Germany – March 20, 2025 – The renowned Austrian company Diamond Aircraft Group, with over 40 years of experience in the aviation industry, has announced the integration of Volocopter, a pioneer in the development of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Volocopter’s headquarters will remain in Bruchsal, Germany.

This strategic integration will allow Diamond Aircraft to expand its portfolio into the promising electric urban air transport sector, optimize operating costs, and support Volocopter on its path to VoloCity certification by 2025. It also ensures the continuity of Volocopter’s highly skilled team and the evolution of its next-generation aircraft.

Bin Chen, President of Diamond Aircraft, highlighted the partnership as a key step in consolidating Europe as a hub for aviation innovation, while Tobias Wahl, Volocopter’s bankruptcy administrator, praised the team’s commitment and celebrated the strength of the new strategic partner.

With this transaction, Diamond Aircraft strengthens its leadership in general aviation and positions itself as a key player in the sustainable air mobility of the future.

Zipline in Rwanda, an initiative by the Rwanda Biomedical Centre to centralize malaria medications and deliver them on demand with Zipline.

April 25 2025

In malaria-endemic areas, timely access to medications is critical, especially for children under five. Before Zipline, many rural health centers suffered from shortages of second-line malaria treatments, forcing patients to wait hours or even days to receive them.

Healthcare staff at Gakoma Hospital in Gisagara District have already noticed significant improvements since the start of this pilot program. One staff member explained, “Previously, emergency requests took approximately two hours from the time the order was placed at the regional warehouse. Regular refill orders could take up to one or two days. Now, with Zipline, these medications arrive in as little as 27 minutes.”

Faster delivery means faster care and renewed community confidence in the health system. Jackson Kalinijabo, Gisagara District Health Director, has witnessed the impact of Zipline’s service firsthand: “Receiving anti-malarial products, such as artesunate, through Zipline has been a game-changer for health centers in Gisagara District. Faster drone deliveries directly translate into faster care, saving lives in our communities. We believe this innovative approach, along with other interventions, brings us closer to eradicating malaria in our district.”

But this shift isn’t just about speed. It’s about using Rwanda’s existing resources more efficiently. With centralized inventory and on-demand delivery, health centers no longer need to stockpile expensive second-line treatments like artesunate-pyronaridine or dihydroartemisinin, which were sometimes used indiscriminately for mild cases. These medications are now delivered only when needed, reducing waste and ensuring they are preserved for the most critical cases.

Centralizing malaria supplies for these districts with Zipline also minimizes expiration, reduces transportation costs, and relieves pressure on rural clinics. Early treatment of malaria, before it becomes severe, not only improves patient outcomes but also eases the burden on the health system by reducing the high costs associated with treating advanced cases.

Jeremy Baines, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at EcoCeres, shares his latest article.

April 24 2025

· Why recent price drops under the #SAF hashtag don’t reflect its true potential
· How policy delays and trade barriers are holding back progress, and what we should do instead
· Why bold action now will prevent a supply crunch later
· How EcoCeres is leading the charge with strategic investments, including our new refinery in Malaysia

The message is clear: the era of fossil-fueled aviation is coming to an end. Demand for SAF will increase, and the industry must prepare today to avoid being grounded tomorrow.

ClimeFi has initiated rating coverage of Deep Sky, the world's first technology-agnostic project developer for direct air capture.

April 24 2025

Climate analysis firm ClimeFi has begun rating coverage of Deep Sky, a Canadian company that bills itself as the first technology-agnostic direct air capture (DAC) project developer.

Coverage kicks off with Deep Sky Alpha, a pilot project located in Alberta that seeks to test up to ten different DAC technologies using different solvents and sorbents. The goal is to identify the most effective under real-world conditions for later commercial implementation.

This project marks a key milestone for ClimeFi, as it is part of its analyst rating system, aimed at providing technical and forward-looking information to institutional buyers interested in carbon credits based on CO₂ removal.

According to ClimeFi, Deep Sky Alpha is currently the highest-rated DAC project in its evaluation library, the largest in the market for carbon removal projects. The score is supported by the project’s diversified approach, which reduces technical risks and accelerates implementation capacity.

In addition, ClimeFi confirmed that the evaluation is underway for Deep Sky One, the company’s second project, which seeks to capture CO₂ on a commercial scale.

The Canadian company is committed to a strategy that seeks to validate technologies in the field before scaling up, thus offering a more secure and agile path to generating quality carbon credits.

Cosmo Oil Marketing and STARLUX Airlines Sign Agreement on SAF

April 23 2025

The SAF marketed under this agreement was launched after receiving a grant from the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) in 2021, aimed at establishing a supply chain model for SAF production from domestically sourced used cooking oil. It is the first locally manufactured SAF to be mass-produced in Japan and has obtained ISCC CORSIA and ISCC EU certifications. These certifications are part of the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) initiative, which recognizes compliance with international standards for sustainable products. The fuel will be produced by SAFFAIRE SKY ENERGY LLC, a joint venture formed by Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd., JGC HOLDINGS CORPORATION, and REVO International Inc., and supplied to STARLUX Airlines at Kobe Airport through Cosmo Energy Group beginning in fiscal year 2025.
