Fueling a Cleaner
Future Today
Fueling a Cleaner
Future Today
Curve Energy is a clean-fuel technology company modernizing how the maritime industry meets sulfur and emissions standards. Our patented green-chemistry process removes sulfur, nitrogen, vanadium, and other contaminants under near-ambient conditions, producing stable VLSFO without hydrogen, extreme heat, or costly refinery infrastructure.
We deliver a scalable, modular solution that helps ports, refiners, and fuel suppliers reduce emissions while improving margins.

Global Market Context
The Marine Market Opportunity
The Marine Market Opportunity
Marine fuel economics are under pressure from persistent HSFO–VLSFO price spreads, rising carbon and compliance costs, and the poor scalability of existing fuel treatment solutions, driving growing cost uncertainty across refiners, bunker hubs, and shipping operators.

The Curve Energy Solution
The Curve Energy Solution
Curve Energy’s patented green chemistry desulfurization process upgrades Heavy Fuel Oil (HSFO) to Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) under near-ambient conditions by removing sulfur at the molecular level. The hydrogen-free process produces IMO-compliant fuel with a low carbon footprint.
