Our Futuria Gas offers you a flexible energy solution to start your own sustainability journey, your way. Join the hundreds of homes and businesses across Ireland who have made the switch and are already cutting their carbon emissions.
A sustainable twist on LPG.
Our Futuria Gas - BioLPG, is made from a blend of wastes, residues and sustainably sourced materials. And it’s a like-for-like replacement for LPG: same performance, lower carbon footprint.
Cut carbon by up to *90% vs. LPG
Switching is
simple, so you can take a big step towards reducing your carbon footprint
without the stress.
Chemically identical to LPG
It’s 100%
compatible with all LPG fuelled equipment, appliances and forklift trucks, with
exactly the same performance.
Use anywhere you'd use LPG
Hot water,
cooking, central heating, forklifts and manufacturing processes…the list goes
on.
Use it anywhere you’d use standard LPG, but with up to 90% fewer carbon emissions, * depending on which of our flexible plans you choose.
Fancy making an immediate impact on your business’ carbon footprint. You can switch your forklift fleet to run on our Futuria Gas and cut your emissions instantly. No need to switch equipment, you’ll get the same power and performance as with conventional LPG. Stacks up nicely.
From large-scale venues, hotels or restaurants to guesthouses or mobile caterers, our Futuria Gas means you can cut emissions instantly and stand out from the crowd with your sustainable credentials.
The science of sustainability
The
technical name for our Futuria Gas is BioLPG because it comes from the
biodiesel production process. This is a simple overview of the production
process:
Step 1
It
all starts with a ‘feedstock’ of waste oils and fats. It needs a series of
treatments to clear out contaminants.
Step 2
The
fuel mix still contains oxygen, which need to be removed. A process called‘
hydrogenolysis’ takes care of that, using hydrogen atoms.
Step 3
During
refining, ‘off gases’ are captured. They might sound like something we'd want
to get rid of, but they’re the exact opposite.
Step 4
For
every tonne of biodiesel produced, 50kg of Futuria Gas is generated from off
gases.
Step 5
A
final round of purifying, and Futuria Gas is ready to go to businesses and
homes. The best part: it’s chemically identical to traditional LPG, so while
carbon emissions come down, performance stays at 100%.
