General information

Short Summary
An Italian company offers a platform that facilitates the development of non-traditional fuels for transport, such as bio-LNG (Liquified Natural Gas), HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) and Hydrogen, by accelerating the connection of supply and related demand. The company is collaborating with a wide range of gas suppliers, network operators and dealers and is looking for partnership with gas suppliers under commercial agreement.
Full Description
The Italian SME, placed in the wholesale of solid, liquid, gaseous fuels and derived products, supports transport companies in their strategic choices by offering a wide bio-L-CNG (Liquified or Compressed Natural Gas) network coverage. The company takes the role of a business development partner by a technological card’s enablement. Entering into commercial agreements with retail owners and making them technically available to the Fuel Card, partners cards suppliers have an ease access to any market available, dealing with one business partner rather than several small network operators, in line with a third-party network optimization. To enable the transaction handling, the connection host to host is required. Then, the company acts as a single third-party network to card supplier, allowing for online real time authorization and transaction settlement on a network of multiple sites selected by the partner.

Transport companies fueling bio-LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) or HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) by using this sustainable fuel network are able to reduce their CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions. The vision of the company is to replicate the same model around the world by collaborating with large (bio)gas, HVO and H2 (Hydrogen) suppliers who can guarantee the availability of the product.

Company’s Goals:
• Support decarbonization in the transport industry aiming at reaching Net Zero emissions
• Simplify for Transport Companies and their related Customers all the complexity related to fuel sustainability certification, including association and management of Guarantees of
Origin
• Expand and operate in markets across Europe and worldwide
• Partner with companies offering sustainable fuels derived from renewable resources

The company offers a payment system to transport companies and their related customers, that drives the development of sustainable and renewable fuels, such as bio-L-CNG, HVO and Hydrogen, Electric, bio-LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas), etc. in co-operation with producers, retailers and institutions, by accelerating the connection of the related supply and demand and also by sharing the availability of this green network to third parties.
Advantages and Innovations
The company's service is relevant in commercial road transport allowing to have access to a wide network of alternative energies, such as LNG/ bio-LNG or HVO, that currently is highly fragmented through single sites availability not connected to each other.

The card company provides a wide network access and competitive offer. The process of contracting and connecting LNG/bio-LNG or HVO sites can be outsourced and addressed by working with a single aggregator service entity which equals only one third party network setup.

The transportation sector is connected to approximately 15% of the World's CO2 emissions. A mixture of alternative fuels, such as bio-LNG, HVO and Green Hydrogen will contribute to the reduction of these emissions. To this attempt/direction, the company offers a series of formal CO2 reduction certificates for each transport company using sustainable fuels.
