Swift Fuels, LLC (“Swift Fuels”), a clean energy research and development company, announced today that it has signed an exclusivity agreement with Diamond Infrastructure Solutions (“Diamond”), under which Diamond will reserve land on its site while Swift Fuels evaluates the potential construction of a demonstration-scale Light Gas to Fuels (LG2F™) plant in Louisiana.

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 minimizes 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.
