Integrating value chains to scale impact
In May, SkyNRG broke ground on the Netherlands’ first plant dedicated to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). As a bioLPG offtaker, SHV Energy views SAF production not only as an aviation solution, but as a source of renewable by-products that support off-grid energy users. Early collaboration enabled partners to unlock the value of bioLPG, demonstrating how integrated value chains can accelerate broader decarbonisation.
Expanding production pathways
A Joint Development Agreement with Astomos Energy and Furukawa Electric marks a further step in expanding renewable LPG (rLPG) supply. By exploring alcohol-based feedstocks, the partnership aims to combine globally available raw materials with high propane selective conversion technology – both key enablers for industrial-scale production.
Exploring circular pathways
SHV Energy is also exploring routes to convert hard-to-recycle plastic waste into circular fuels. Through plastic pyrolysis (thermal processing), waste plastics are transformed into recycled oil and upgraded into products such as propane and butane. This pathway creates additional renewable liquid gas (rLG) supply, supports circular economy outcomes, and provides flexibility in meeting evolving regulatory requirements.
Supporting a practical energy transition
Together, these developments reflect a consistent focus: building a diversified portfolio of partnerships and production pathways to scale renewable liquid gases and support an energy transition that works in the real world.
