Airbus, in collaboration with DLR, is responsible for characterising and analysing the impact of 100% SAF on ground and in-flight emissions. Safran focuses on compatibility studies related to the fuel system and engine adaptation for commercial and helicopter aircraft and their optimisation for various types of 100% SAF fuels.

Airbus, Dassault Aviation, ONERA, the French Ministry of Transports and Safran have launched the first in-flight study of a single-aisle aircraft running on unblended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

During the flight test over the Toulouse region on 28 October, one CFM LEAP-1A engine of an Airbus A319neo test aircraft operated on 100% SAF. Initial results from the ground and flight tests are expected in 2022.

The unblended SAF is provided by Total Energies. It is made from Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), which primarily consists of used cooking oil, as well as other waste fats. HEFA is made of paraffinic hydrocarbons and is free of aromatics and sulfur. Approximately 57 tonnes of SAF will be used for the entire test campaign. It is produced in Normandy close to Le Havre, France. The 100% SAF will also be utilised for compatibility and engine operability studies on the Safran Helicopters Arrano engine used on the Airbus Helicopters H160, which are expected to start in 2022.

Airbus, in collaboration with DLR, is responsible for characterising and analysing the impact of 100% SAF on ground and in-flight emissions. Safran focuses on compatibility studies related to the fuel system and engine adaptation for commercial and helicopter aircraft and their optimisation for various types of 100% SAF fuels. Safran will perform LEAP engine ground tests with 100% SAF at its Villaroche facilities later this year to complete analysis. ONERA is supporting Airbus and Safran in analysing the compatibility of the fuel with aircraft systems and will be in charge of preparing, analysing and interpreting test results for the impact of 100% SAF on emissions and contrail formation. Dassault Aviation is contributing to the material and equipment compatibility studies and verifying 100% SAF biocontamination susceptibility.

The study – known as VOLCAN (VOL avec Carburants Alternatifs Nouveaux) – contributes to global decarbonisation efforts currently underway across the entire aeronautical industry, and is benefiting from a financing of the France Relance recovery plan, the part thereof dedicated to the decarbonisation of aviation, which is implemented by DGAC under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, French Minister of Transports. The study’s ultimate goal is to promote the large-scale deployment and use of SAF, and certification of 100% SAF for use in single-aisle commercial aircraft and the new generation of business jets.

We are proud to be an investor in MyCloudFulfillment since series A, and continue our support in series B. COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption towards digital lifestyle by consumers and digital transformation by corporates. In the past 2 years, we have seen the rapid rise of social commerce and e-commerce in Southeast Asia, as more people go online. Startups that enable social commerce and e-commerce like fulfillment and logistics firms will continue to greatly benefit. MyCloudFulfillment, a seamless one-stop fulfillment provider, offering inventory storage, order packaging, and last mile delivery to e-commerce, social commerce and omnichannel businesses, is a key critical enabler of today’s social commerce and e-commerce trends. As a payment partner of MyCloudFulfilment, we are looking forward to continue to work closely together.”

SCB 10X announces new investment in leading e-commerce fulfillment solution startup “MyCloudFulfillment”MyCloudFulfillment CEO and Co-founder Nithi Satchatippavarn added, “As a one-stop supply chain management solution for e-commerce, MyCloudFulfillment best suits omni-channel stores. We connect multiple sales channels such as marketplaces, CMS websites, live commerce, and others. In addition to API connectivity, our system also includes features to help automate sales, such as bundled arrangements, promotion management, and other features. Our services can also be tailored to the needs and characteristics of each store. Apart from that, our warehouse is flexible to accommodate highly volatile orders. However, the Company’s goal doesn’t stop at warehousing services. Our ultimate goal is to serve as an important enabler for online businesses. From the beginning, we’ve always believed that in everything we do we want to enable online businesses manage their stores efficiently so that they can achieve sustainable growth. Today we are enabling our customers with warehouse management. However, what we are keen to do next is to enable to reduce their costs for dormant stocks and increase sales opportunities. We will be able to do so by turning merchant databases into data analytics. One of the tasks that our development team plans to implement next year is to embrace machine learning to create inventory intelligence, starting from collecting in-depth consumer data and stock movement behavior for each store. This analytics process will transform that data into strategic information useful for decision making, allowing sellers to adjust stocks based on demand, identify unprofitable and profitable products, and implement suitable sales models for particular products.”

UVBGPs acquisition of the entire stakes of E-COGEN means the immediate gaining of the ownership of the three co-generation assets with a combined installed capacity of 360 megawatts (MW) operated by E-COGENs subsidiaries. UVBGPs acquisition of E-COGEN is expected to be completed by 2021.

, a partnership between B.Grimm Power PCL and Univentures PCL, is acquiring Eastern Power Group PCL’s subsidiary Eastern Cogeneration Co Ltd (E-COGEN).

UVBGP’s acquisition of the entire stakes of E-COGEN means the immediate gaining of the ownership of the three co-generation assets with a combined installed capacity of 360 megawatts (MW) operated by E-COGEN’s subsidiaries. UVBGP’s acquisition of E-COGEN is expected to be completed by 2021.

Dr. Harald Link, Chairman and President of B.Grimm Power PCL (BGRIM), said the E-COGEN acquisition underscores a good business partnership, a cornerstone of BGRIM’s growth strategy that dates back more than 25 years. It is in line with BGRIM’s business expansion and comprehensive infrastructure service offerings.

Kampol Punsonee, President of Univentures, noted that the E-COGEN acquisition supports the company’s strategy of restructuring and balancing the investment, diversifying the risks from relying solely on real estate business, and earning revenues and profit from other venture streams.

BGRIM – Univentures JV in E-COGEN buyout Acquisition incorporates 3 co-gen facilities with 360-MW capacity

UVBGP is owned 45% by BGRIM, Thailand’s leading industrial power producers and 55% by the real estate concern Univentures.

UVBGP is a collaboration of BGRIM and Univentures to jointly invest in the energy business that supports real estate development and other ventures. Those ventures cover various forms of energy projects such as combined cycle cogeneration power plants, rooftop solar power systems, floating solar power schemes, biomass power, hybrid power, energy solution services and smart grid projects. UVBGP targets to increase its generation portfolio to 500 MW by 2025.

E-COGEN has two subsidiaries namely SSUT Co Ltd and PPTC Co Ltd.

SSUT runs two combined cycle cogeneration power plants with a total capacity of 240 MW of electricity and 60 tonnes per hour of steam. The plants at Bang Pu Industrial Estate, Samut Prakan Province, have been in operation since December 2016.

PPTC has since March 2016 been operating a combined cycle cogeneration power plant, capable of producing 120 MW of electricity and 30 tonnes per hour of steam, in Lat Krabang Industrial Estate on Bangkok’s outskirts.

The electrical output from the three units has been supplied 90 MW to Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) under a 25- year agreement, while the remaining electricity and steam production is piped to industries in the industrial parks.

Meanwhile, Dr Link said BGRIM will leverage on its experience and expertise to improve the efficiency of these three co-generation plants continuously in the future.

Currently, BGRIM has 50 power plants in commercial operation with a total installed capacity of 2,894 MW. The company aims to ramp up its total installed capacity to 7,200 MW of secured PPA by 2025 and further to 10,000 MW by 2030 with an annual revenue of more than 100 billion baht being targeted.   

BGRIM is working to be a leading global energy company and setting an important long-term goal to become a net-zero carbon emissions organisation by 2050. That goal is in line with BGRIM’s vision of “Empowering the World Compassionately” based on the principles of generosity in business to create value for society and growing alongside Thailand.
