Large-scale deployment of green fuels cannot be achieved without the backing of standards and certification, regarded as “soft infrastructure”. Without a certification system to define and trace the green credentials of fuels, green premiums cannot be realised, and relevant policy targets will hardly be delivered.On 15 July 2026, the China Clean Transportation Partnership (CCTP) held its themed salon Transport Consumption Pathways and Institutional Development for Large-Scale Green Fuel Deployment in Beijing. Yu Hui, Dean of the Research Institute at China General Certification Center (CGC), delivered an invited keynote address. He comprehensively outlined the green fuel certification regime under the EU’s regulatory framework for shipping decarbonisation, as well as the roadmap for developing China’s own sustainable fuel certification system.

China’s green fuel sector is currently at a pivotal juncture of energy transition, moving past technological demonstration toward concentrated commercial production. The industry focus has accordingly shifted from “whether production is technically viable” to “who will consume the output and how such fuels can be applied”.On 10 July 2026, Guanglian Pang attended and delivered a keynote speech at the 33rd themed salon hosted by the China Clean Transportation Partnership (CCTP), titled Transport Consumption Pathways and Institutional Development for Large-Scale Green Fuel Deployment. In his address, he systematically analyzed the opportunities, challenges and pathway options facing the green fuel industry as it advances from capacity expansion to the stage of market uptake and consumption accommodation.

Electric heavy-duty trucks are expanding their operational scope from mines and ports to broader highway networks. Nevertheless, enabling megawatt-level ultra-fast charging to underpin this transition entails challenges extending well beyond technological hurdles alone.On 22 April 2026, the China Clean Transportation Partnership (CCTP) co-hosted its 32nd themed salon together with the Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute, Tsinghua University, centering on Key Constraints and System Synergy for the Large-Scale Development of Megawatt-Level Ultra-Fast Charging.During the roundtable discussion, representatives spanning charging operators, vehicle manufacturers, power grid authorities, research institutions and frontline logistics practitioners held in-depth exchanges on megawatt-level ultra-fast charging. The dialogue went far beyond technical discussions centred on enhanced charging speed, delving deeper into major core constraints encountered in real-world deployment, including application scenarios, technical standards, power grid adaptation and economic viability.

New energy heavy trucks are gaining rapid adoption at ports, mining areas, steel plants and regional arterial routes, with energy replenishment efficiency emerging as the decisive factor governing their rollout pace.On 22 April 2026, the China Clean Transportation Partnership (CCTP) and Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute, Tsinghua University co-hosted a themed salon in Chengdu titled Key Constraints and System Synergy for the Large-Scale Development of Megawatt-Level Ultra-Fast Charging. Lili Li delivered a presentation systematically outlining the technical progress and industrial outlook of megawatt-scale ultra-fast charging.This article is compiled based on his speech, focusing on answers to three core questions: Why do electric heavy trucks require megawatt-level ultra-fast charging? Where does the technology currently stand? What bottlenecks remain ahead of its large-scale commercial rollout?

As global climate governance enters a phase of intensive action, the green transition of hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping and aviation has become a focal point. As a key emission reduction pathway, green liquid fuels are forming a systematic advancement framework spanning from international rules to national policies, and from industrial standards to market mechanisms.Source: Remarks by Researcher Zhang Wenbo from the Institute of Ecology and Sustainable Development, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, at the 31st CCTP Themed Salon
