CBR Sustainability Partners and EC Impact establish strategic partnership to accelerate SAF and low-carbon fuel markets in Asia-Pacific
CBR Sustainability Partners has entered a strategic partnership with Singapore-based climate-tech company EC Impact to jointly advance climate solutions with a specific focus on low-carbon fuels, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and sustainable Maritime fuel (SMF) initiatives across Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
The collaboration aims to combine regional market access and ecosystem expertise with deep technical, regulatory and commercial capabilities in ClimateTech. Together, the partners will support the development of scalable, sustainable fuel value chains while strengthening connectivity between Asian and European markets.
Complementary strengths – bridging regions and capabilities
The partnership is built on complementary capabilities that combine strong regional market access with deep technical and strategic expertise, enabling the development of scalable and implementable SAF and low-carbon fuel solutions across Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific.
- EC Impact brings a strong local presence in Southeast Asia, with in-depth understanding of regional markets, stakeholder landscapes and policy environments. Through its development of Asia’s first digital marketplace for SAF certificates, EC Impact supports transparent demand creation, facilitates access to financing and strengthens the regional ecosystem for aviation decarbonisation.
- CBR contributes extensive expertise in green molecules, including methanol, hydrogen and ammonia, as well as it’s derivatives. This is complemented by capabilities in feasibility and pre-feasibility studies, techno-economic analysis, funding strategies, bankability support, sustainability strategy, regulatory frameworks and certification, as well as hands-on implementation support across complex transformation projects.
Clients will benefit from integrated support across the full value chain – from market entry and stakeholder engagement to opportunity identification, feedstock assessments and project development. The partnership further enables cross-regional collaboration, including the facilitation of offtake agreements into the European market and support for European technology providers entering Asia-Pacific markets.
Building a sustainability ecosystem in Asia-Pacific
Through this collaboration, both partners aim to contribute to the development of a strong regional ecosystem for sustainable fuels and aviation decarbonisation. EC Impact’s close connections to regional stakeholders, including initiatives linked to institutions such as the Asian Development Bank, complement CBR’s growing international footprint and experience across global markets.
By combining local insight with international expertise, the partnership is positioned to support clients in navigating complex regulatory environments, scaling innovative solutions and advancing the transition to net zero aviation.
A Partnership for the Future of Climate Solution Markets
"At EC Impact, our mission is to build a transparent and scalable SAF ecosystem in Asia. Partnering with CBR enables us to combine strong local market access with deep technical expertise – creating the conditions required to accelerate project development and connect supply with global demand.”
“This partnership is about building more than individual projects – it is about enabling a connected ecosystem for sustainable fuels in Asia-Pacific. By combining our strengths, we can support clients in navigating regulatory complexity, unlocking market access and scaling technical solutions that drive meaningful decarbonisation.”
