FORGE Hydrocarbons

FORGE Hydrocarbons is a Canadian renewable energy company founded in 2012, originating as a spin-off from the University of Alberta.

The company specializes in Lipid-to-Hydrocarbon (LTH) technology, which converts waste fats and low-value oils into renewable diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha that are indistinguishable from traditional petroleum products. Headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, with additional locations in Sombra and Edmonton, FORGE is led by CEO Tim Haig, a notable figure in the biofuels sector. The company's proprietary LTH technology offers several advantages, including a production process that does not require catalysts or hydrogen, resulting in lower costs and a significant reduction in carbon intensity compared to fossil fuels. FORGE serves the B2B market, targeting the renewable energy and transportation sectors, including partnerships with government agencies to promote sustainable fuel initiatives. Currently, FORGE is expanding its operations with a new production plant in Sombra, Ontario, and is actively involved in research to enhance lipid-based fuel production.
