Futuria Fuels sees a sustainable future for the liquid fuels industry. Through collaboration, we have already started building it. Here’s how.
A business unit of SHV Energy, Futuria Fuels is innovating on-purpose production of sustainable fuels predominantly in the form of renewable liquid gas.
SHV Energy has been safely delivering energy to customers across the world for over 125 years. We pioneered the introduction of bioLPG to the market in 2018. SHV Energy focuses on the off-grid market. It is critical that we develop sustainable alternatives in this sector if we are to achieve global sustainability and net-zero targets.
Futuria Fuels was founded by SHV Energy to lead the global advocacy of sustainable molecules, aiming to deliver viable sustainable fuel to off-grid customers. Through collaboration, we are building partnership and investment opportunities which will directly result in the defossilisation of liquid gas for customers and suppliers.
The Futuria Fuels team and our partners are already hard at work.
Futuria Fuels is bringing together the brightest minds in the LPG industry, academia, and technology providers to change off-grid fuels.
We are developing on-purpose processes to produce:
These technologies are leading the off-grid sector to a defossilised future, where fuels are created from a wide range of sustainable feedstocks.
Futuria Fuels may be new, but we’re building on a strong heritage within the SHV Energy family. We’ve been busy. Across the world, we already have 22 active projects and counting.
These include research, development, technology, construction, and proof of concept activities. If you’d like to get on the Futuria Fuels map, you can find out how here:
