Liquefaction requests automated, manual work taken off your hands.
When you trade biomethane and need it liquefied at an LNG terminal, the data submission process today is manual: rekey into a terminal-specific Excel template, email it back and forth, reconcile by hand. FuelFWD automates that workflow end to end. With some terminals we have direct integrations; with others we generate the submission in their expected format. Either way: no manual re-entry, no Excel back-and-forth.

The gap
What the rule asks for vs. what spreadsheets deliver
The supplier-to-terminal Excel is the most fragile step. We replace it with structure.
Suppliers and terminals talk through emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls today. Volumes are re-typed, GHG values re-keyed, scheme references manually transcribed. Mistakes happen at the handover. Reconciliation happens afterward. The process is fragile by design. FuelFWD captures the liquefaction request directly from your inventory data and gets it to the terminal in the right format the first time. For some terminals we have direct integrations and the submission flows automatically. For others we generate the submission in the terminal’s expected file format, ready to send through their existing channel. Either way, the data layer is automated and audit-trailed.
- Liquefaction request data captured from inventory
- Direct integration with selected LNG terminals
- File-based submission for terminals without API channel (Excel, CSV, PDF, terminal-specific format)
- Status tracking from submission to acceptance
- Audit trail per request, linking source PoS to terminal output
- Re-submission and correction workflow for adjustments
- Multi-terminal support: each terminal’s format configured once
Why manual submission creates risk at every handover
- Volumes and GHG values re-typed into terminal-specific Excel templates, with errors introduced at entry
- Email-based submission with no confirmation trail or status visibility
- Reconciliation done after the fact, often by comparing email threads
- Correction requires rebuilding the request from scratch and re-submitting through the same manual channel
- Every terminal expects a different template, so the same request is rebuilt by hand for each counterparty
- Linking a terminal’s accepted output back to the source PoS is a manual lookup, and the trail breaks under volume
How the workflow runs in FuelFWD
Three steps that replace the email and Excel round-trip with a structured, audited flow.
One submission, no re-typing.
The request is built from your existing inventory data: volume, GHG value, scheme, source PoS. No re-keying into a terminal-specific Excel template.
Direct where available, structured where not.
Direct integration with terminals that have an API or formal data channel. For terminals without one, FuelFWD generates the submission in their expected file format, ready to send.
Tracked end to end.
From request submission to terminal acceptance to outgoing bio-LNG PoS, the workflow is tracked in one place. No follow-up email chain.

Questions about automated liquefaction requests
- We have direct integrations with selected LNG terminals in Northwest Europe, with new integrations added based on customer demand. For terminals without a direct channel, FuelFWD generates the submission in the format the terminal expects (Excel, CSV, PDF), ready to send through their existing channel.
- FuelFWD handles the structured data submission. Commercial communication (contracts, scheduling, deviations) stays with you and the terminal as before. The data layer is automated; the relationship layer stays yours.
- Rejections are surfaced in the platform with the reason from the terminal. You can correct and re-submit without rebuilding the request from scratch.
- Yes. FuelFWD generates the submission file in the terminal’s expected format. The data preparation is automated even if the final transmission goes through their existing manual channel.
