DCC Energy sign Memorandum of Understanding with SHV Energy

Tuesday 19th November 2024

DCC have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore sustainable opportunities for the generation of renewable liquid gas (rLG) and renewable and recycled carbon dimethyl ether (rDME).

DCC have advised they intend to collaborate to identify the best solutions to supply challenges in Europe, which will open the door to production of rLG and rDME at scale, with the goal to secure widespread commercial adoption.

The key activities of the collaboration will include an assessment of potential projects and investments, which will lead to material, sustainable rLG and rDME supply solutions. They will also look to involve other industry stakeholders to join the collaboration to drive rLG and rDME production innovation to the benefit of the whole sector and liquid gas customers.

“Sustainable fuels, such as rDME, will be key to helping reduce the carbon emissions of our customers and to contributing to the global energy transition. We look forward to working together with DCC Energy to help realise the potential of this promising fuel,” said Patrick van der Voort, CEO of SHV Energy.

“It is part of our published strategy to find even lower carbon solutions for our millions of liquid gas customers. We are pleased to partner with SHV Energy on this important project, which will bring us closer to realising our goal to provide cleaner energy to everyone,” said Fabian Ziegler, CEO of DCC Energy.
