Decarbonisation solutions portfolio
See how Shell Catalysts & Technologies鈥 five decarbonisation value chains form the foundation on which we help customers work toward their ambitious net-zero emission goals.
Helping our customers on the decarbonisation journey
Our target is to become a net-zero-emissions energy business by 2050. To do so, we are transforming our business. Part of our strategy is to play an integral role in helping the decarbonisation and sustainability journeys of our customers, especially those in the hard-to-abate and refining and petrochemical industries.
Our five decarbonisation value chains
Considering decarbonisation value chains individually highlights which integrated technology, proven and in development, can help you to accelerate the transition to lower carbon and more sustainable products and feedstocks.
Renewable fuels
Reducing fuel carbon intensity in line with changing legislation.
Plastic circularity
Processing a higher volume and wider range of recovered plastic feeds.
Hydrogen
Fuelling processes with low-carbon hydrogen.
Carbon capture and storage
Mitigating emissions with carbon sinks.
Syngas products
Producing eSAF or advanced biofuels using the Shell XTL Process.

Explore our decarbonisation strategies and solutions
Renewable fuels
Discover insights from Shell鈥檚 established decarbonisation value chain for the production of renewable fuels from various feeds, and the new technologies we are developing to process more difficult and plentiful feedstocks.
Plastic circularity
Processing a broad range of plastic waste introduces contaminants and impurities to the feed, limiting useable quantities.
Shell鈥檚 proprietary upgrader technology removes these impurities, enabling the use of a wider range of feeds for the production of circular chemicals.
Hydrogen
The increasing cost of carbon emissions makes decarbonised (blue) hydrogen an attractive option. The Shell Blue Hydrogen Process (SBHP) produces low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas, paired with carbon capture and storage.
SBHP can help decarbonise refineries, and enable heavy industries and resource holders looking to create value from natural gas to generate affordable decarbonised hydrogen.
Carbon capture and storage
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) offers one of the lowest-cost ways of reducing CO鈧 emissions in carbon-intensive industrial processes1. Shell is helping to develop large-scale commercial CCS projects with leading carbon capture technologies.
These include the CANSOLV CO鈧* Capture System, which is capturing CO鈧 from low-pressure streams. At SaskPower鈥檚 Boundary Dam power station in Canada, this technology is capturing CO鈧 from flue gas.
Syngas products
Our technology pathways give you the potential to convert a wide range of sustainable, renewable, low-carbon feedstocks (X) to liquid (TL) renewable fuels with very low 鈥 even negative 鈥 carbon intensities that qualify for incentives and meet new legislation.
In the biomass-to-liquids (BTL) route solid biomass is gasified into syngas. In the power-to-liquid (PTL) route, CO2 from waste streams of biogenic sources is shifted into syngas. Fischer- Tropsch and hydroprocessing technologies then convert the syngas primarily into advanced bio SAF (BTL) or eSAF (PTL).
