据ICIS-MRC网站9月7日莫斯科MRC报道,壳牌公司宣布将替换其位于荷兰Moerdijk石化厂的乙烯蒸汽裂解炉,此举将减少其温室气体排放。

据ICIS-MRC网站9月7日莫斯科MRC报道,壳牌公司宣布将替换其位于荷兰Moerdijk石化厂的乙烯蒸汽裂解炉,此举将减少其温室气体排放。

壳牌将在不减少工厂产能的情况下安装8台新炉,以取代16台旧设备。这项投资大大降低了该站点的能源消耗和可操作的温室气体排放量。二氧化碳减排量约为壳牌Moerdijk公司年度排放总量的10%。

裂解装置生产的基本化学品用于制造人们每天使用的成品,从智能手机、服装、包装和医疗设备,到汽车和飞机的绝缘材料和轻型部件。新熔炉将以模块的形式运到现场,使裂解装置在整个升级项目中继续运行。这项工作预计将于2025年完成。

壳牌全球化学品业务执行副总裁托马斯·卡斯帕里(Thomas Casparie)表示:“我们继续投资于创新,即使在经济困难时期也是如此。 蒸汽裂解使基础化学物质转化为一系列成品,帮助社会生活、工作和应对气候变化。 这项对Moerdijk的投资有助于减少我们生产的化学品的碳排放,也有助于壳牌在2050年或更早之前成为净零排放能源企业的雄心。 我们的目标是与社会同步实现我们的抱负。”

正如MRC早前报道的那样,壳牌公司首席执行官本·范·伯登(Ben van Beurden)对员工称,壳牌公司将在今年年底宣布一项重大重组,因为该公司准备在2050年之前加速实现其净零排放目标。据报道,首席执行官在内部网络直播中表示,重组将包括裁员,作为更广泛的成本削减措施的一部分,尽管具体数字尚未确定。

乙烯和丙烯是生产聚乙烯(PE)和聚丙烯(PP)的原料。

根据MRC的DataScope报告,今年上半年,俄罗斯PE进口同比下降7%,为32.8万吨。高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)是进口减少的主要原因。与此同时,今年上半年俄罗斯的PP进口同比增长21%,达到10.53万吨。丙烯均聚物(均聚聚丙烯)是进口增长的主要原因。

Shell invests in new furnaces to reduce emissions from its Moerdijk chemicals plant

Shell has announced that it will replace the ethylene steam cracker furnaces at its Moerdijk petrochemicals complex, The Netherlands, in a move that will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, according to Hydrocarbonprocessing.

Shell will install eight new furnaces in place of 16 older units without reducing capacity at the facility. The investment significantly reduces both the site’s energy consumption and its operational greenhouse gas emissions. The CO2emissions reduction is about 10 percent of Shell Moerdijk’s annual total.

The cracker unit produces base chemicals which are used to make finished products that people use every day, from smart phones, clothing, packaging and medical equipment, to insulation and light-weight components in cars and planes. The new furnaces will be shipped to the site in modules, enabling the cracker to continue to operate throughout the upgrade project. Work is expected to be completed in 2025.

Thomas Casparie, Executive Vice President of Shell’s global chemicals business, said: “We continue to invest in innovation, even in difficult economic times. Steam cracking makes base chemicals, which are transformed into a range of finished products that help society live, work and respond to climate change. This investment at Moerdijk contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions from our manufacture of chemicals and to Shell’s ambition of becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 or sooner. We aim to achieve our ambition in step with society.”

As MRC reported earlier Shell will announce a major restructure by the end of the year as the company prepares to accelerate its shift toward its net-zero emissions goal by 2050, said CEO Ben van Beurden to employees. The restructuring will include workforce reductions as part of broader cost-cutting measures, although no figures have been decided yet, the CEO reportedly said during an internal webcast.

Ethylene and propylene are feedstocks for producing polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).

According to MRC's DataScope report, PE imports to Russia dropped in January-June 2020 by 7% year on year to 328,000 tonnes. High density polyethylene (HDPE) accounted for the main decrease in imports. At the same time, PP imports into Russia rose in the first six months of 2020 by 21% year on year to 105,300 tonnes. Propylene homopolymer (homopolymer PP) accounted for the main increase in imports.

Royal Dutch Shell plc is an Anglo-Dutch multinational oil and gas company headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands and with its registered office in London, United Kingdom. It is the biggest company in the world in terms of revenue and one of the six oil and gas "supermajors". Shell is vertically integrated and is active in every area of the oil and gas industry, including exploration and production, refining, distribution and marketing, petrochemicals, power generation and trading.
