Shell Catalysts & Technologies is committed to advancing the ideas, equipment, and technology that will drive the transition to more, cleaner energy. To help accelerate this transformation, Shell Catalysts & Technologies continues to push an entrepreneurial mindset that relies on a powerful combination of resourcefulness and innovation. Optimising the current infrastructure and processes of 鈥渨here we are鈥� to move us to 鈥渨here we want to be鈥� requires considerable industry expertise, experience, and collaborative problem-solving abilities.

Empowering the Future by Leveraging the Past

As a seasoned Downstream Licensing Marketing Manager, I have witnessed the evolution and improvement of many traditional technologies, as well as the conception and development of technologies that will take us into the future. As an industry, we鈥檙e constantly moving technologies forward in positive ways. In that spirit, the ongoing transition to cleaner energy will require leveraging the value and benefits of current assets with cutting-edge technologies that offer long-term ROI in terms of both environmental sustainability and economic viability.

Take, for example, Shell鈥檚 Gasification Process (SGP). This technology is actually very old, but I believe it has a large role to play in the future, especially when combined with other existing technologies. In the correct process line-up, SGP can turn the heaviest hydrocarbons into syngas which can then either shift into pure CO2 to be captured or used or converted into petrochemicals and intermediates.

Other traditional bottom-of-the-barrel technologies and combinations of technologies can also be repurposed to drive up the value of the heaviest molecules. Many of these revolve around the hydrocracker and take advantage of the latest innovations in flexible hydrocracking technology to generate increased naphtha yields for petrochemical feedstock. Combining the benefits of long-existing processes and technologies with modern downstream and petrochemical technologies can help refiners enhance margins and reduce their carbon emissions. Interconnecting the past, present, and future often yields a collective value that is much higher than the value of the individual parts.

Institutional Knowledge Drives Future Innovation

Institutional knowledge is critical to successful and profitable downstream licensing processes. Perhaps no other part of the energy industry requires such a heavy reliance on the combination of personal relationships with owners/operators, legacy operations and assets, established protocols and new equipment and technologies.

Shell prioritises the entrepreneurial mindset by encouraging industry experts to leverage their institutional knowledge in ways that can lead to -- sometimes, very unexpected -- discoveries and innovations. For example, Shell Catalysts & Technologies has partnered with KBR to offer customers an opportunity to utilise the synergies between KBR鈥檚 ROSE SDA technology and Shell鈥檚 flexible hydrocracking and SGP technologies, as well as forming an alliance with Air Products to offer customers alternative attractive business models for SGP.
