Following the announcement of a joint development agreement in June 2020, on June 17, Dow and Shell reported the progress of their electrothermal steam cracker technology plans
.
This new route has the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from one of the chemical industry's central processes
.
The companies confirmed that the joint initiative has been awarded 3.
5 million euros ($4.
2 million) in funding from the Dutch government under the MOOI (Mission-Driven Research, Development and Innovation Subsidy) program
.
They also announced a collaboration with the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT)
.
This multi-company collaboration is designed to accelerate key milestones to achieve needed near-term progress and long-term breakthroughs
.
In its first year, the program provides advanced electrification solutions for today's steam crackers, while also pursuing long-term game-changing technologies to enable novel designs for electric crackers
.
The dual-path approach is designed to support the emissions reductions needed to achieve the company's 2030 CO2 ambition and the goal of achieving net-zero emissions operations by 2050 or earlier, in line with the Paris Agreement
.
The combined Dutch and U.
S.
team used their expertise in electrical design, metallurgy, hydrocarbon technology and computational fluid dynamics to narrow concepts, demonstrate emissions benefits, advance patents, demonstrate the durability of electrical heating elements, and collaborate with equipment Supplier cooperation.
The two companies are currently evaluating the construction of a multi-megawatt pilot plant, which could start in 2025, subject to investment support
.
The two new collaborators bring additional expertise and a shared commitment to a low-carbon future
.
TNO has deep knowledge in high temperature heat transfer applications and plays a leading role in identifying innovative electrical technologies that can be deployed in industry
.
It is the founding partner of the state-of-the-art field laboratory industrial electrification in Rotterdam
.
ISPT focuses on system integration of preferred concepts, connecting the dynamics of breakthrough technologies with the dynamics of utilities and infrastructure in the chemical industry through the energy transition
.
Thomas Casparie, Executive Vice President of Shell's Global Chemicals business, said: "Being selected for funding by the Dutch government is a vote of confidence in the initial progress of this joint Electron Cracking initiative and its potential to help transform the chemical industry
.
This effort is genuine An example of cross-company collaboration to accelerate decarbonization, and we are delighted to have our two new partners onboard
.
”
"Our multidisciplinary team has built a strong foundation of work and made significant progress in the first year of our intergenerational program," said Keith Cleason, vice president of Dow's Olefins, Aromatics and Alternatives business
.
and TNO added to the joint programme as they bring complementary expertise and share the same drive to bring viable low carbon technologies online as quickly as possible
