Worley's Key Role in Shell's Decarbonisation Journey in Germany
Key Ideas
  • Worley is partnering with Shell on two significant projects in Germany aimed at decarbonising operations, including converting a hydrocracker into a base oil production unit.
  • The projects, based in Cologne, will result in a substantial reduction of Shell's carbon emissions, with a focus on renewable hydrogen production for lower carbon intensity energy products.
  • The second project involves installing a 100 MW electrolyzer for renewable hydrogen production, contributing to the decarbonisation efforts and aligning with Shell's commitment to sustainability.
  • Worley's integral role in the projects includes overseeing various engineering phases, from early design to integration, supporting the transition towards more sustainable energy practices.
Worley, an engineering solutions provider, has teamed up with Shell for two pivotal projects in Germany to facilitate the decarbonisation of operations. The first project at the Wesseling site near Cologne involves repurposing a hydrocracker into a base oil production unit, targeting high-quality lubricants to cease crude oil processing by 2025. This initiative is forecasted to significantly reduce Shell's carbon emissions by around 620,000 tonnes annually, representing a substantial step towards sustainability. Additionally, the second project at the Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland focuses on setting up a 100 MW electrolyzer for renewable hydrogen production under the REFHYNE II initiative. This endeavor aims to generate up to 44,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen daily, which will be instrumental in producing lower carbon intensity energy products like transport fuels. Worley's involvement spans from early design phases to system integration, emphasizing its crucial role in steering these projects towards success and furthering Shell's commitment to decarbonisation and sustainable practices.
