Michael Walsh may be one of the few voices who have credibility when he predicts that the clean-fuel landscape in Asia Pacific and the world will change dramatically in only a few years.
Clean fuels, together with clean fuels, play a critical role in alleviating the severe air quality issues in Asia. However, the region remains fragmented in the regulation and application of clean fuels. ACFA takes a look at the definition of clean fuels, their role as well as the issues and challenges Asia faces in meeting the clean fuel challenge.
We start the series with a chat with Ahmed Alumar, the current President of ACFA and Vice President of SABIC Asia Pacific.
