Renewables catalysts
The Shell Renewables Catalysts (SRC) portfolio combines our newest generation of catalysts specifically designed to maximise product yields and flow properties for 100% hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO)/hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA) units processing a wide range of feeds.
Advanced renewables catalysts for HVO/HEFA units
A portfolio of renewables catalysts for HVO/HEFA units.
The Shell Renewables Catalysts (SRC) portfolio includes the step-out SRC-201, which combines hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) selectivity with dewaxing capabilities, and the portfolio enables solutions to be tailored to the feed and the unit鈥檚 constraints and objectives.
Renewables catalysts can help maximise value within operating constraints
By refilling your HVO unit with a combination of our renewables catalyst, you can:
Enhance the performance and profitability of your HVO/HEFA unit
Increase yields of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel
Maximise catalyst activity
Process a wider range of challenging biofeeds
Tailor your renewables catalyst solution to a range of feeds
Our SRC portfolio has been developed to offer a holistic solution to our customers.
We can tailor catalyst systems to work within operating constraints and help maximise value.
By stacking our renewables catalysts in different combinations in either one- or two-stage HVO/HEFA units, our SRC portfolio offers a bespoke renewables catalyst solution that can also be tailored to a range of feeds, from vegetable oils and animal fats to used cooking oil and other advantageous feedstocks, according to your objectives and unit constraints.
Maximise HVO/HEFA unit performance with Shell Renewables Catalysts (SRC)
Our step-out SRC-201 renewable catalyst is engineered with superior HDO selectivity, first-stage dewaxing and isomerisation capabilities.
SRC-201, a new hydrodeoxygenation (HDO)-selective catalyst with dewaxing capabilities is specifically engineered to help mitigate the impact of challenging renewable feeds used in 100% HVO/HEFA units.

Shell Renewable Refining Process
Refiners can process 100% biofeeds into profitable renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel with our HVO/HEFA technology, the Shell Renewable Refining Process (SRRP).
Co-processing
Co-processing renewable feedstock can be a low to no capital cost response for producing hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO)/hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA).
Learn more about renewables catalysts
We know that processing biofeeds presents severe operational challenges. These range from the accumulation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the recycled gas, fouling and plugging, through to high yield losses due to dewaxing.
These difficulties bring a risk of short cycles, high costs and lower distillate and jet yields. Further, they will increase as it becomes necessary to process even more challenging feeds in the future.
Our SRC portfolio has been developed to offer a holistic solution to our customers. We can tailor catalyst systems to work within operating constraints and help maximise value. This new portfolio also includes our step-out SRC-201 catalyst 鈥� our latest renewables catalyst that has been engineered with superior HDO selectivity and with first-stage dewaxing and isomerisation capabilities.
