Welcome to SHV Energy

The SHV Energy Group is a global organization specialising in lower carbon and renewable energy solutions.

It focuses on operating companies that provide 'off natural gas grid' energy applications, services and advice for domestic and commercial customers. It is committed to continually develop energy solutions for this group of customers to enable them to benefit from the latest applications in some of the more remote parts of the world.

Currently SHV Energy is the leading supplier of LPG in the world and this is its core business. This form of energy is the cleanest available conventional fuel for consumers situated beyond the natural gas grid. When it is used in cogeneration or as a back up for renewable technology, substantial carbon savings can be made.

SHV Energy is also an investor in LNG, sustainable biomass distribution, cogeneration technology and small scale solar technology.

SHV A Journey with Energy

The creation of SHV Energy is actually just a natural part of a journey that started over 100 years ago. In 1896 when the founding fathers of SHV formed the company, they wanted to ensure a safe secure and affordable source of energy for their customers. At that time the energy choices for homes and businesses were more limited and coal was still the backbone of the energy market throughout Europe.
This business expanded through acquisition, organic growth, developing innovative practices and by putting the needs of the customer at the heart of the business. SHV also diversified into a number of other market sectors – most notably the wholesale business.
By the latter half of the 20th century, people were moving away from coal for a number of reasons including its high carbon content and other polluting emissions that were becoming less acceptable to consumers and society as a whole. This is when SHV decided to put the expertise gained within the coal distribution market to good use and invest in LPG.
