CRecTech Featured on CNBC
CRecTech was featured on CNBC on November 13, 2025, as part of a segment exploring innovative climate-tech startups tackling hard-to-abate emissions in the shipping and heavy industry sectors. The feature highlighted CRecTech’s novel approach to converting captured CO₂ into green methanol, a drop-in marine fuel that can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of global shipping.
During the interview, Dr. Lim Kang Hui discussed the urgency of decarbonizing maritime transport, which accounts for nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. He explained how CRecTech’s catalytic process offers a commercially viable pathway to produce low-carbon methanol at scale, using renewable hydrogen and waste CO₂ as feedstocks.
The CNBC feature brought significant visibility to CRecTech’s mission and technology, generating inbound interest from potential investors, strategic partners, and maritime operators across Asia and Europe. The segment underscored the growing momentum behind alternative marine fuels as the International Maritime Organization’s 2030 and 2050 emissions targets draw closer.
