    Shell Joins W2C Rotterdam Project

    Consortium comprised of Air Liquide, Nouryon, Enerkem and the Port of Rotterdam.

    Shell Joins W2C Rotterdam Project

    A consortium comprising Air Liquide, Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals), Enerkem and the Port of Rotterdam announced that Shell will join as a partner in Europe’s first advanced waste-to-chemicals facility in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
     
    Shell will become an equal equity partner in the proposed commercial-scale waste-to-chemicals project, which will be the first of its kind in Europe to make valuable chemicals and biofuels out of non-recyclable waste materials.
     
    “The EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) coming into effect in 2021, as well as other environmental initiatives such as the Circular Economy Package, are creating an ideal environment for leading companies to drive sustainable growth through innovation," said Marco Waas, chairman of the waste-to-chemicals project in Rotterdam and director RD&I at Nouryon. 
     
    “Industry partnerships, just like this one, are critical to delivering some of the many solutions society will need to meet energy demand while reducing emissions to tackle climate change and air pollution," said Andrew Murfin, GM, Advanced Biofuels, Shell. "Advanced biofuels, including those produced using bio-methanol, have the potential to decarbonize the transportation sector, in particular. This is an exciting prospect given transportation accounts for one fifth of global energy-related CO2 emissions, and will continue to rely on liquid fuels, especially for long journeys and heavy-duty vehicles, for years to come.”
     
    The consortium, which set up a dedicated joint venture company, has already undertaken extensive preparatory work, covering detailed engineering and the permitting process. It aims to take the final investment decision later in 2019 as it pursues the development work and finalizes the selection of an engineering and procurement contractor.
     
    The planned facility will convert up to 360,000 tons of waste into 220,000 tons (270 million liters) of bio-methanol – a chemical building block that is used to manufacture a broad range of everyday products, as well as being a renewable fuel. This represents the total annual waste of more than 700,000 households and represents CO2 emission savings estimated at about 300,000 tons when compared to the production of methanol from fossil fuels.
      
    The project is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate Policy, which has agreed to develop mechanisms and regulation that will help bring this new technology to full scale to support the low-carbon transition of the Dutch economy. The waste-to-chemicals project is also supported by the City of Rotterdam, the Province of Zuid-Holland and InnovationQuarter, the regional development agency.
     
    The facility will be built within the Botlek area of the Port of Rotterdam using Enerkem’s proprietary technology and will convert non-recyclable mixed waste, including plastics, into syngas and then into clean methanol for use in the chemical industry and for the transportation sector. This is a departure from the reality of today, where methanol is generally produced from natural gas or coal.
     
    The plant will have two production lines, or twice the input capacity of Enerkem’s commercial plant in Edmonton, Canada. It will benefit from the state-of-the-art infrastructure available within the Port of Rotterdam, as well as synergies with Air Liquide (large industries) for supplying the required oxygen and with Nouryon, for the hydrogen raw material. The current aim is that the facility’s sustainable methanol output will be purchased by Nouryon and Shell.
     
    The project can help the Netherlands realize its ambition to become virtually carbon-neutral by 2050.
