On Aug 17 Shanghai Electric Group delivered and bunkered 8,000 tonnes of China-produced green methanol at Shanghai Yangshan Port to a CMA CGM freighter, marking the green methanol sector’s move into batch deliveries. The fuel was produced at Shanghai Electric’s Taonan integrated wind-power–biomass green methanol demonstration project in Jilin, using corn-stalk biomass and wind‑generated green hydrogen. The product does not rely on fossil or coal feedstocks and reduces full life-cycle carbon emissions by over 65% versus conventional methanol.

South African regulators plan to require central clearing for OTC derivatives, aiming to complete new rules within two years and for final rules to take effect before 2028, the South African Reserve Bank said. The reform, intended to boost transparency and reduce risk, hinges on central counterparties obtaining licences and becoming operational. The Prudential Authority and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority closed a consultation on June 5 on eligibility criteria for central clearing; they propose ZAR‑denominated interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements as the first mandatory‑clearing products, with other contracts phased in based on industry feedback and market Data Talk. SARB data show over R150 trillion of rand‑linked OTC derivatives notional traded domestically and offshore (about US$9.3tn).
