DORIS wins FEED contract for XFuel’s modular energy conversion facilities

XFuel, a sustainable drop-in fuels producer, has engaged DORIS, an engineering, advisory, and project management services company, to provide front-end engineering and design (FEED) support for its modular energy conversion facilities.

DORIS said it will support XFuel’s in-house engineering team to scale up facilities that use XFuel’s modular mechanical carbon conversion technology (MECC), adding that the 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. It pointed out that XFuel’s MECC facilities will play a vital role in the energy transition.

Nicholas Ball, CEO of XFuel, commented: “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, CCO of 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.”
