Waste-to-Renewables · Engineering & Project Development
Shift Energy transforms municipal solid waste into premium renewable fuels - including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel - using commercially proven technologies engineered for scale.
Who We Are
Shift Energy is a California-based engineering and project development company focused on waste-to-renewables. Our approach integrates commercially proven technologies in a proprietary design that optimizes the production of renewable fuels, chemicals, and electricity from municipal solid waste.
We eliminate landfills. We produce drop-in fuels that meet or exceed ASTM specifications. We do this with technologies that work at industrial scale today.
What We Do
Shift Energy is developing a portfolio of waste-to-renewables projects across multiple geographies. Our biorefinery model converts municipal solid waste into high-value renewable products for global markets.
Drop-in SAF produced from municipal solid waste, meeting or exceeding ASTM D7566 specifications. Ready for direct use by commercial and cargo airlines without engine modification.
Airlines · Cargo · DefenseHigh-quality renewable diesel with ultra-low sulfur content produced from waste feedstocks. Fully compatible with existing diesel infrastructure and vehicles.
Transport · InfrastructureOur biorefinery model eliminates the need for landfills entirely. We work with municipalities and governments to transform a waste liability into a strategic renewable fuel asset.
Municipalities · GovernmentOur Approach
We integrate mature, commercially validated technologies that have operated at industrial scale for decades. No experimental processes, no unproven chemistry.
Our unique engineering design optimizes how established unit operations work together, maximizing yield of high-value renewable products from waste feedstocks.
Our process handles diverse municipal solid waste streams. Extensive waste characterization studies inform plant design, enabling accurate engineering from day one.
Renewable fuels produced meet or exceed ASTM specifications, enabling direct market access as drop-in replacements for petroleum-derived jet fuel and diesel.
