Leading the Clean Energy Transition
Our maritime services are essential for the construction and ongoing operations and maintenance of renewables infrastructure projects that produce cleaner energy with lower emissions, and for the storage and transportation of low-carbon gases including LNG and ammonia - a carrier of hydrogen.
In a future where green hydrogen and its derivatives such as green ammonia are produced using renewable electricity from offshore wind, and as blue hydrogen and its derivatives such as blue ammonia, are produced using carbon capture, our services will be used by our global energy customers across the renewable energy value chain.
We also transport ethane, a low-carbon gas offering a cleaner and more resource-efficient feedstock for industrial applications and ethylene production. Our dual-fuel VLEC fleet further strengthens this value chain by using ethane boil-off gas for propulsion, minimising cargo loss and improving tank pressure management to deliver meaningful cost savings and emissions reduction.

Low-carbon vessels and an ambition for part of our fleet to be capable of net zero carbon operations within the 2030s
Our Decarbonisation Strategy:
- Focus on low-carbon newbuild assets incorporating the latest commercially viable technologies, to reduce carbon emissions upon delivery compared to conventional peer vessels
- Net zero carbon operational capability targeted across parts of our gas and renewables infrastructure fleet within the 2030s in terms of fuel source emissions, through a tailored mix of energy-saving devices, voyage optimisation tools, enhanced operational efficiency measures, alternative fuels, and integration of hybrid propulsion systems
- Phased approach due to evolving landscape of technology commercialisation
We recognise that the decarbonisation journey faces external constraints such as the availability of low-carbon fuels, technology and commercial dependencies, that could impact the timing of achieving our ambition.
Decarbonisation technologies towards net zero
As part of our broader sustainability framework, Purus is commited to building exploratory expertise in emergent decarbonisation technologies, allowing us to apply the knowledge and insights across our core gas and renewables infrastructure fleet over time. In doing so, Purus provides a fleet of environmentally-advanced low-carbon vessels to the market, facilitating the supporting infrastructure and operational capacity essential for enabling the maritime energy transition.
We have leveraged our hybrid battery expertise to enhance the performance of our renewables infrastructure vessel types, and our biofuel handling capabilities to provide drop-in fuel options for our renewables infrastructure customers. The carbon capture systems from our short-sea vessels will deliver strategic competitive advantage in deployment to deep-sea systems, when they become available.
Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Our vessels implement the latest in carbon reduction technologies, including battery hybrid propulsion, low-carbon fuels and high-impact energy saving devices that reduce carbon emissions immediately, with strategies to further reduce carbon in the future.
Our people who operate our vessels are highly skilled, bringing industry best practices and safe, cost-effective and low-carbon transport solutions. We seek a diverse work environment that fosters equity and inclusion to support a sustainable business.
Our know-how brings together knowledge from multiple sectors to integrate decarbonisation technologies across our business.
Our Memberships & Commitments
Collaboration is at our core.
Beyond working with our customers and suppliers, we work with industry groups across the maritime and energy value chain to develop ideas and foster innovation towards a low-carbon future for all.
