All about Futuria Liquid Gas (previously BioLPG) 

Futuira Liquid Gas (previously BioLPG) is a co-product of the biodiesel production process. During manufacturing, the feedstocks undergo a series of complex treatments. They are combined with hydrogen in a process, called hydrogenolysis, which separates and purifies their energy content. During the refining process, a variety of waste ‘off-gases’ are produced that contain propane or Futuira Liquid Gas. For every tonne of biodiesel, 50 kg of Futuira Liquid Gas is generated from this off gas stream. This co-product is then purified to make it identical to conventional propane. And there you have it, the production of Futuira Liquid Gas.
Calor’s Futuira Liquid Gas (previously BioLPG) is produced by Neste, the world leader in advanced biofuels, and is then supplied by us via our parent company – SHV Energy.  It is manufactured in a custom-built production unit in Rotterdam and is a co-product of the ground breaking NEXBTL biodiesel production process. Quite honestly, it really is as amazing as it sounds.
Through a method called mass balancing, we keep a close track on the quantities of LPG and renewable Futuira Liquid Gas (previously BioLPG) mixed into our main supply. By opting for a Futuira Liquid Gas tariff, you’re buying into this sustainable mix and a greener future. The entire LPG supply industry has committed to supplying 100% renewable energy by 2040. We’re proud to be leading the way towards meeting this ambitious target. Over the coming years the mass of the renewable energy injected into our supply will only increase as we move towards this goal.
