A Stronger Position in Sustainable Fuel Solutions
Founded in 2007, Commercial Fuel Solutions has established itself as a leading independent supplier of AdBlue® in the UK, with one out of every fifty HGVs on UK roads using its high-quality, low-carbon product. In recent years, CFS has also pioneered hydrogen-based solutions, including a hydrogen bowser for mobile refuelling and a hydrogen combustion generator for producing green electricity at remote or temporary sites. This expertise aligns seamlessly with New Era Energy’s goal of reducing emissions and advancing sustainable fuel alternatives.
James Hunt, CEO of New Era Energy, expressed excitement over the acquisition, stating, "The acquisition of Commercial Fuel Solutions represents a very exciting next step for New Era Energy and a very important one in the direction of our future sustainability. We stand to benefit massively from their expertise in hydrogen fuel handling and from their position as the leading independent distributor of AdBlue® in the UK."
This merger is expected to create the UK’s largest delivery network for renewable fuels. Customers of both companies will gain access to a more comprehensive selection of sustainable products and services, while maintaining the high level of service they are accustomed to.
Continuing a Legacy of Innovation and Sustainability
With roots dating back to 1919, New Era Energy originally supplied lubricants before evolving to focus on fuel as market demands shifted. The company rebranded as New Era Energy in 2023 to underscore its dedication to sustainable energy solutions, and the acquisition of CFS underscores this ongoing commitment.
Robin Futcher, Founder of Commercial Fuel Solutions, commented, "We are very excited to work with New Era Energy—an exciting and innovative company. Right from the very first conversation, we were inspired by their drive towards emissions reduction and sustainability, which makes Commercial Fuel Solutions a perfect fit for their objectives."
