Challenge: PVG

The objective

Sustainable climate control solutions for everyone

The challenge

What is the future of liquid-based affordable heating for our portable heaters?

Context of the challenge

PVG is looking for a liquid fuel with a significantly lower CO2 footprint and with the same quality as the current Qlima fuel.

What PVG is looking for

PVG is looking for an odorless, preferably colourable, sustainable liquid fuel for their portable heaters fitted with combustion engines. The fuel must be non-toxic and provide good thermal comfort. Ideally, this liquid does not need to be labeled as a hazardous substance in the EU.
