Swift Fuels advances light gas (LG2F™) demonstration plant plans in Louisiana (U.S.)
- Exclusivity agreement signed with Diamond Infrastructure Solutions for Swift Fuels to
investigate its development and operation of a demonstration-scale unit - Demonstration scale Light Gas to Fuels (LG2F™) unit will convert ethane-rich gas
streams to premium grade auto gasoline / transportation fuels - Construction is expected to take ~12 months from final investment decision; start-up is
targeted by early 2027
Swift Fuels announced that it has signed an exclusivity agreement with Diamond Infrastructure Solutions (“Diamond”), under which Diamond will reserve land on its site while Swift Fuels evaluates the potential construction of a demonstration-scale Light Gas to Fuels (LG2F™) plant in Louisiana. As part of the project’s development, the two companies are discussing the lease of land onsite, access to Diamond’s existing infrastructure, and connections to feedstock streams for the proposed facility. The plant is targeted to begin operations in early 2027.
Swift Fuels’ LG2F™ process is designed to convert ethane-rich light hydrocarbons into premium-grade gasoline and other fuel products through a high-yield catalytic pathway. This approach minimizes CO₂ emissions and eliminates conventional steps such as crude oil refining, steam reforming, syngas/methanol loops, and hydrotreating.
To advance front-end engineering and design, Swift Fuels has engaged Fluor as the lead engineering contractor, leveraging its Houston office and global engineering resources.
Subject to permitting and final investment decisions, construction is expected to take less than 12 months. Once commissioned, Swift Fuels plans to host industry visitors to observe the unit in
operation and explore its design features.
