SCO countries agree to closely work together on emerging fuels

Nations belonging to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) have agreed to work closely together on emerging fuels, such as hydrogen and ammonia, and biofuels like ethanol, at a meeting of energy ministers of the grouping on Tuesday.

The move will see China, Russia and others collaborate with India on emerging fuel technology, energy modelling, and transition goals.

“The parties recognise that emerging fuels can play a critical role in promoting a circular economy by efficiently utilising biological resources to produce various high-value marketable products with least possible impact on the environment,” read a joint statement issued after the meeting.
