Swift Fuels advances LG2F demonstration plant plans 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 minimises 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.
