Delray Beach, Fla. -- Aug. 31, 2026 -- The global transformer monitoring market will grow from $3.11 billion in 2026 to $4.98 billion by 2031, a 9.9% compound annual growth rate, according to MarketsandMarkets.

Jinan, China -- September 01, 2026 -- Niutech Technology Group Co., Ltd. signed a sales contract with a major global energy company for an industrial continuous pyrolysis line that converts plastic waste into feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel, the Jinan-based firm said Aug. 31, 2026. The system, rated at 10,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year, will retrofit one of the client's large-scale refineries to run the full chain from plastic pyrolysis oil to hydrotreated SAF. Niutech said the deal marks its first entry into the client's equipment supply chain.
The European Union's ReFuelEU Aviation regulation requires a 2% SAF blend starting in 2025, rising to 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. Used cooking oil, the dominant SAF feedstock today, remains in short supply, pushing energy companies to test plastic waste as an alternative pyrolysis oil source.
