Shell Taps Worley for Support on Net-Zero Projects

Sept. 18, 2024
Worley will support Shell at its Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland on decarbonization projects involving the transition to base oils and renewable hydrogen.
In addition to the hydrocracker transformation, Worley is also working with Shell on the installation of a 100-MW REFHYNE II electrolyzer, expected to produce up to 44,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen each day, which Shell will use to decarbonize its operations.
 
Work is being carried out to provide early front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED), FEED, detailed design and integration services for the project.
  
Marijn Bezuijen, project director Rheinland, said, “The Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland is on a transformation journey to help Shell become a net-zero emissions company by 2050. In the coming years, we will be working on key projects to achieve this.”
 
The base oil production plant and renewable hydrogen facility are expected to start operations in the second half of the decade.
