-- 總部位於新加坡的電燃料開發平台eFuels SEA週五發布聲明稱，該公司已推出一個平台，旨在利用美國公司Infinium的技術，在東南亞地區推廣電燃料生產。 eFuels SEA表示，其目標是開發能夠將捕獲的二氧化碳和再生電力轉化為可持續航空燃料和其他低碳產品的設施，並與現有基礎設施相容。這些項目將同時滿足區域需求和出口市場。 Infinium的製程結合了再生能源、水和廢棄二氧化碳，生產可直接取代現有燃料的液體燃料。該公司自2023年以來一直在德克薩斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂運營一家商業規模的工廠，並正在該州建設第二家工廠，計劃年產能約為23,000噸。 eFuels SEA計劃在東南亞地區推出三到五個項目，其管理團隊在能源市場、專案融資和工業開發方面擁有豐富的經驗。 eFuels SEA聯合創始人兼首席執行官David Wang表示：“通過利用Infinium成熟的技術，我們有信心為該地區帶來經濟效益，增強能源安全，並實現氣候影響。” Infinium執行長Robert Schuetzle表示，此次合作將擴大該地區可持續燃料的供應，該地區在擴大生產規模方面擁有「得天獨厚的優勢」。 eFuels SEA指出，此次合作正值新加坡、馬來西亞、泰國和印尼等國推進氫能和碳管理策略之際。

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says
Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.
