About HAMR Energy

Breaking free from the shackles of fossil fuels, our society faces an uphill battle towards decarbonisation. While electrification is the solution for many sectors, alternative solutions will be required in industries where electrification is impractical. Industries such as shipping and aviation face an arduous journey towards net-zero, with a major roadblock being the lack of affordable, carbon-neutral fuels.

That's where HAMR Energy steps in - a team of passionate engineers, determined to pave the way for a cleaner future by developing low carbon fuels. After decades of working in the energy industry, we know that the key to decarbonisation lies in providing access to sustainable and affordable energy sources. Join us on our mission to empower hard to abate sectors to embrace a sustainable future.
