Forge Hydrocarbons

Forge Hydrocarbons is an industrial biotechnology company focused on the commercialization of Lipid-to-Hydrocarbon (LTH) technology. Developed at the University of Alberta, this proprietary process converts low-value bio-lipids, such as waste fats and greases, into drop-in renewable diesel and jet fuel. Unlike traditional biodiesel, the company's products are chemically identical to petroleum-based fuels, allowing for seamless integration into existing infrastructure without modification. Forge Hydrocarbons operates a commercial-scale production facility in Ontario, Canada, aiming to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the heavy-duty transportation and aviation sectors. The company is backed by strategic investors including Shell Ventures and focuses on sustainable, circular-economy solutions for the global energy industry.
