XFuel engages DORIS for feed support on sustainable fuel production facilities

XFuel has engaged DORIS, a leader in energy engineering, advisory and project management, to provide front end engineering and design support for its modular energy conversion facilities.
DORIS will support XFuel’s in-house engineering team to scale up facilities that use its unique modular mechanical carbon conversion technology (MECC).
These facilities will produce sustainable drop-in fuels from waste feedstocks, while sequestering carbon as biochar, creating new decarbonisation pathways for hard-to-abate sectors across sea, air and road transport.
DORIS was chosen as a partner after an extensive evaluation process by XFuel.
XFuel’s sustainable fuels will compete directly with other fuels on the market on cost and use existing infrastructure as a seamless drop-in option.
Rapidly scalable technology, like XFuel’s MECC facilities, will play a vital role in the energy transition, something the G7 recognised in its communique following its more recent meeting, when it expressed a commitment to the continued development of low carbon fuels across marine, aviation and road transport sectors.
Dr Nicholas Ball, CEO, XFuel, said: “We are very pleased to be working with the team at DORIS. At XFuel we are ambitious about producing carbon neutral fuels at a commercial scale. With DORIS’ deep knowledge and expertise in the energy industry and their front end engineering support, we believe this is the beginning of us being able to deliver on this vision to provide cost-effective sustainable fuels across a range of sectors.”
Christophe Sarri, Chief Commercial Officer, DORIS, said: “Drawing on our decades of expertise enabling change across the energy sector, DORIS is fully committed to leading the energy transition and supporting businesses to develop innovative energy projects. We are delighted to be working with the XFuel team to support the delivery of low carbon sustainable fuel production facilities at a competitive price, safely and reliably.”
