<h4>Our mission is to decarbonise the transportation industry, and we devote our technology, time and talent to advancing the transition to sustainable low-carbon fuels.</h4>
<h4>In 2010 we set a challenge to produce an alternative fuel which could compete with fossil fuels from both an environmental and economic perspective. In this time we have developed and patented breakthrough technology, which successfully achieves this and more.</h4>
<h4>Through innovative development, optimisation of process, design of reactor and components, the construction of a pilot plant and the consistent analysis and testing of chemicals and fuels, we have created a commercial ready process. The technology can convert various organic waste materials into a low-carbon drop-in waste derived Advanced fuel. Furthermore, we are able to undercut the costs of fuels from fossil origin, while remaining environmentally friendly with current GHG savings of 85% in its production. Our pilot plant is located in Spain, with a production capacity of 150 litres/hour of fuel. The site is being used as an R&amp;D and feedstock analysis plant for future projects.</h4>
<h4>The company vision is to become the sustainable fuel company for the future, providing low-carbon and clean fuel to distributors and consumers around the globe in industries such as maritime, aviation, HGVs and consumer cars.</h4>
<h3>Values</h3>
<h4>We focus on impact – we work on problems that have the biggest impact.</h4>
<h4>We innovate to better serve our planet – we believe innovation is crucial in tackling climate change.</h4>
<h4>We act with integrity – do what’s right, even when it’s hard.</h4>

Revolutionizing transport with low-carbon fuels, achieving 85% GHG savings using organic waste.

What is XFuel anyway? 🚀🌳⛽Our mission is to decarbonise the transportation industry, and we devote our technology, time and talent to advancing the transition to sustainable low-carbon fuels.For the world to reach net-zero, we urgently need sustainable liquid fuel replacements now. Over the last 10 years, XFuel has developed and patented technologies to produce sustainable low-carbon road, marine and aviation fuels only from wastes of biogenic and non-biogenic origin.Our road and marine fuel is a drop-in replacement to fossil fuels, not requiring blending, engine modifications or infrastructure investment in energy distribution or storage. Our project capital requirements are up to 5x lower, and our production costs are comparable or lower than fossil fuel market prices. We have a pilot plant in Mallorca, Spain which demonstrates our technologies producing up to 1mil litres of fuel, and have a modular approach to scaling up production in our commercial projects.XFuel’s goal is to build, own and operate plants globally, becoming the full-stack sustainable fuel company for the 21st century.
