About us

As a recent spin-out from venture studio Docklab, FuelFWD has developed an award winning business software for companies trading in renewable fuels.

Starting with a green hydrogen platform, FuelFWD quickly expanded its scope to include biofuels as customers explicitly ask for a chain of custody solution in this market.

Our Vision

Our vision is to accelerate the adoption of renewables globally and reduce the negative environmental and societal impact of the world’s continuous need for energy. It is our purpose to take away financial risk, administrative burden and trading restrictions associated with regulatory and voluntary compliance to renewable fuel standards.

Our Mission

We have succeeded in our mission when the ESG efforts of renewable fuel actors get rewarded and are made visible to the end consumer. We help suppliers, producers, shippers, traders, handlers and distributors with their administration to enable smooth collection and sharing of ESG data and stay compliant with relevant regulations
