Technology at work

Shell researchers talk about what they do and why it matters.

In collaboration with various partners, ETCA researchers are working hard on energy solutions for today and tomorrow. But what exactly are those solutions? And what’s in it for the consumer? Five Shell researchers show an object from their research and talk about what they do and why it matters. Read the short interviews here.

Batteries: a look inside

Which started with a meeting at a conference evolved within a few years to an impressive partnership. The mission? To make large-scale energy storage in batteries affordable and technically possible.

Scaling up hydrogen production

At home, Bas uses the energy from the sun to power his home. At work, he uses solar energy to make hydrogen with it. A few years ago, Bas partly designed his own house. The goal: a carbon-neutral home.

Smart porous beads

From a university in Austria to a biowaste plant in the Netherlands. Effective partnerships are crucial for scaling up new technologies and sharing knowledge.

Flying on CO₂, water and renewable power

Researcher Marcel enjoys variety in his work. Nevertheless, he has been working in the gas-to-liquids (GTL) department of the Shell Technology Centre in Amsterdam for 16 years. GTL technology can be used in many ways, now even to make sustainable aviation fuel from CO2, water, and renewable power.

The catalyst kitchen

By changing the composition of molecules, one substance can be converted into another. A catalyst facilitates this process. STCA researchers such as Annemarieke create catalysts in a so-called catalyst kitchen.
