Shell and Dow Reach Key Milestone In e-Cracker Technology Program

摘要

Amsterdam-Shell and Dow have opened an experimental unit to electrically heat steam cracker furnaces at the Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam in the Netherlands, a key milestone in the companies' joint technology program to electrify steam cracker furnaces (PCN, 21 June 2021, p 2). The purpose of the program, announced in 2020, is to accelerate technology to electrify steam crackers, which would enable zero carbon emissions cracking at economically competitive costs with conventional crackers, the partners noted.
