ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
Are you considering the opportunity behind blue hydrogen projects? Over the past 18 months, we’ve engaged in, and learned from, about 50 potential projects utilising the Shell Blue Hydrogen Process. Watch the on-demand webinar to hear more about these projects and the insights we’ve gathered.
Shell Catalysts & Technologies is increasingly focused on supporting its partners’ transitions to a more and cleaner energy future. Licensing the Shell Blue Hydrogen Process and investing heavily in blue hydrogen R&D exemplifies that commitment. Watch our Blue Hydrogen | Make Every Molecule Matter video to learn more.
Read the transcriptPresenter: Hydrogen as a source of clean-burning fuel is gaining momentum.
With eyes on a future of more and cleaner energy,
affordable blue hydrogen production in the short term
can catalyse long-term decarbonisation.
Natural gas producers are under regulatory, economic,
and societal pressure
to limit the climate impact of their supply chains.
In order to thrive through the energy transition,
resource holders will need to make smart investments
that reduce their emissions footprint.
This challenge is not just
to control emissions from operations,
but also to provide consumers with low carbon fuels.
A majority of greenhouse gas emissions stem from energy use
rather than energy production.
Enter hydrogen.
Hydrogen fuel is referred to as clean-burning
because its combustion does not produce CO2, particulate,
or sulphur emissions.
Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, for example,
only emit water vapor and warm air
in contrast with vehicles powered by gasoline or diesel.
With growing demand internationally
and over 90% of hydrogen supply today
coming from carbon-intensive processes,
producers must adopt more sustainable
hydrogen production technologies.
The Shell Blue Hydrogen Process is an end-to-end lineup
that enables affordable responsible hydrogen production.
By applying proven carbon capture technologies,
natural gas operators
and those in the chemical and refining sectors
can diversify their product mix
and become low carbon energy producers.
The Shell Blue Hydrogen Process
integrates Shell gas partial oxidation
and ADIP ULTRA technologies
to maximise carbon capture efficiencies
and simplify lineup design.
Both results translate to cost optimisations
and improved nitrogen production margins
for resource holders.
Compared to conventional hydrogen manufacturing processes,
The Shell Blue Hydrogen Process has been proven better
on a levelised cost of hydrogen basis of their blue variants.

Strategic Marketing Manager - Gas Processing Technologies
Justin Swain is a thirty-year veteran of the Oil & Gas industry and has been working at Shell for the last twenty five years and is currently Strategic Marketing Manager for Gas Processing Technologies within Shell Catalysts & Technologies.
In his strategic marketing role, Justin is responsible for a wide portfolio of differentiated gas processing technologies that serve the mature Natural Gas Market, as well as the emerging decarbonisation market where CO2 capture and Blue Hydrogen technologies can play a key role for the Natural Gas industry of the future and other hard to abate industries.
He has held a number of technical and leadership roles in his long career in Shell, exclusively focused on technology development and deployment within Shell and 3rd parties. Most of this time has been spent in the area of hydroprocessing catalyst and process technology development and sales.
Justin holds a B.Eng. (hons) in Chemical Engineering from Birmingham University. Prior to Shell, he worked at the elf (TOTAL) Milford Haven Refinery for five years in various roles including Crude, reforming and hydroprocessing operations and project development.
Licensing Technology Manager Gasification
Nan Liu, Licensing Technology Manager Gasification, Shell Catalysts and Technologies, has fulfilled roles throughout the project life cycle, from initial feasibility and front-end development to project execution and plant operations, on major capital projects around the globe.
These include the start-up of the gasification unit at the Fujian Refinery and Ethylene Project in China, and performance optimisation at the gasification and hydrogen plant at Shell’s Pernis refinery in the Netherlands. Nan has a strong commercial mindset and is a keen advocate of gasification as a value-adding investment.
