For over 125 years, SHV Energy has been delivering off-grid fuels around the world. Having already transitioned from coal to oil and from oil to LPG, we are now energised to develop a future with sustainable fuels.

As the drive to tackle climate change and to hit net-zero targets has risen, SHV Energy displayed vision by establishing us, Futuria Fuels - a dedicated business unit whose mission is to enable innovation that will accelerate the development and availability of sustainable fuels. Through collaboration, partnership, and investment, we will make this happen.

The result will be the scaling of on-purpose production of renewable liquid gas. This will allow us to drop in sustainable molecules in existing infrastructure and immediately reduce carbon emissions.

Comstock Fuels' proprietary fuel technology converts woody-biomass into C6 sugar and BioleumTM, a unique blend of hydrocarbons. These intermediates can be processed into renewable fuels using fermentation, hydrotreating, and catalytic chemistries.

CPFD Software is advancing multiphase simulation and technology. Our flagship product, Barracuda Virtual Reactor®, is a physics-based engineering software package that simulates the three-dimensional, transient, fluid-particle hydrodynamics, heat balance, and chemical reactions in industrial fluidized bed reactors and other fluid-particle systems.

Virtual Reactor™ enables researchers and engineers working with diverse sustainability, renewables, and decarbonization technologies to explore a broad range of ideas, reduce physical testing costs, and minimize development risk, all while accelerating commercialization, scale-up, and overall time to market. The simulation results provide an objective basis for effectively communicating technological merits to partners, customers, and investors, while increasing market exposure and bolstering patent applications.

The Virtual Reactor technology can be accessed via software licensing, services, or custom collaborative arrangements.
