The Challenge | Marine Decarbonisation
90% of the world’s trade moves by sea. That’s approximately 11 billion tonnes of goods; or about 1.5 tonnes per person each year. Today almost all the ships serving this US$14 trillion industry burn fuel oil, a dirty, high-carbon, fuel. This is not sustainable.
 The maritime industry is entering a phase of dislocation. EU and IMO rules are forcing shipowners, traders, operators and supply-chain companies to adopt clean fuels for their vessels. By 2050, the shipping industry will be net-zero. Today, almost none of it is.
 That means over the next 25 years, the market will need to invest up to US$60 billion per year, every year. To decarbonise our industry will need to build plants, re-engineer ships, develop supply-chains, new infrastructure, and totally re-imagine the services our industry needs. There are vast gaps in our supply chain that need to be filled, and quickly. Venture Energy’s mandate is to plug those gaps.
 

The Company | Who we Are
Venture Energy is a leading provider of next generation fuels. We develop plant and infrastructure projects to drive marine decarbonisation across Asia and the world.
 Our Fuel Division invests in upstream renewable fuel production capacity, offering development, sales, marketing, and logistics services to plant consortia, and a reliable project partner to offtakers, particularly of methanol and ammonia. Together with our Joint Venture partners we offer clean-fuel export and trading services.
 Our Power Division develops shore-power, vessel-charging, and battery-swap infrastructure across Greater China and North Asia. Together with our partners, we are developing the world’s largest network of shore-power infrastructure to power the energy transition.
 We are an international organisation with a proud Chinese heritage; our aim is to be local in both markets, offering our international partners unparalleled visibility of and seamless access to the Chinese market, and our Chinse partners an effortless international reach.
 We move aggressively, think differently, and deliver effectively, but always hold ourselves to the traditions and standards of Wah Kwong Group, a privately owned shipowner headquartered in Hong Kong.
