Our value to our customers

Our mission to continue serving over 30 million customers worldwide with unique energy combinations while taking responsibility to ensure a clean future.

SHV Energy is proud to provide energy for hundreds of applications, ranging from cooking to heating to powering low-polluting vehicles. We serve our customers through our market-leading LPG companies on four continents: Europe, Asia, North and South America.

It is our mission to help clients find unique energy combinations, going beyond our responsibility of simply supplying energy.

Everyday we provide people and businesses beyond the gas grid with the opportunity to switch from high-polluting, carbon-intensive fuels to cleaner forms of energy. Our aim is to continue developing new solutions that power a better and cleaner future.

LPG & bioLPG

LPG is a gas easily stored in liquid form in small, medium or large containers. BioLPG is made from completely renewable crop-grown and waste feed stocks.

LPG & bioLPG are commonly used in gaseous form and can therefore power normal gas appliances such as cookers, heaters, and boilers. In rural areas, they can provide a self-contained source of gas for a variety of applications. When these are used to replace the current, more popular fuel options, significant carbon savings can be made. LPG & bioLPG are also used in many parts of the world to power vehicles and, in developing countries, to replace hazardous solid fuel for cooking stoves.

LNG

LNG is natural gas refrigerated to a very low temperature and stored as a liquid.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) can be seen as natural gas in liquid form, having been reduced to a liquid state by a process of cooling, to a temperature of minus 162°C. Once it reaches the receiving facility, the LNG is transferred to special storage tanks. It is kept there in liquid form at near atmospheric pressure and temperatures of minus 160°C. Then, it remains in storage until required for redelivery.

Biobased and renewable fuels

A growing part of our energy portfolio is composed of biobased and renewable fuels.

Our plan for sustainable development over the next 20 years is to ensure that the source and supply of our clean, safe and efficient gas products becomes increasingly renewable, bio-based and lower carbon.
