are some of the leading solution providers in the global bio-based naphtha market. These companies are working on developing new strategies for innovating products along with strategic initiatives like partnerships, collaborations, and more.
To cite an instance, in 2023, to make a shift away from crude oil, Royal Dutch Shell in Germany announced plans to make naphtha using renewable energy and crops. Apart from this, the company also plans to expand an electrolysis plant that generates fossil-free hydrogen for commercial purposes. In the long run, Shell plans to replace conventional jet fuel and naphtha with synthetic power-to-liquids (ptl) produced at Weaseling, a facility that is a part of the Rhineland refinery, utilizing green electricity and biomass. Construction on the 100,000 t/a ptl plant is anticipated to start in 2023, and operations are projected to start in 2025.
