Recently, Shell and Dow announced that the two sides have launched an electric heating steam cracking experimental unit in the Amsterdam Energy Transition Pilot Zone in the Netherlands
.
The parties announced that this is a major milestone in the companies' joint plan to electrify their steam crackers, taking the companies one step closer to decarbonization
.
It is reported that the test device was developed to transform today's gas-fired steam cracker
.
The data generated by the unit will be used to validate the model to support the next stage of electrification of the steam cracker
.
Under the investment support, the two parties will design and build a megawatt-scale pilot plant, which may be commissioned in 2025
.
As the energy grid becomes increasingly dominated by renewables, using renewable electricity to heat steam crackers could be one of the ways to decarbonize the chemical industry
.
Electric cracking furnaces running on renewable electricity are more economically competitive and can reduce direct carbon emissions by 90% compared to conventional cracking furnaces
.
Last year, the project received 3.
5 million euros in funding from the Dutch government
.
The partnership also aims to support Shell and Dow in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050
