Shell Moerdijk Maintenance Stop 2019

inspection, cleaning and improvement

[Video footage]

We cut to an aerial shot of the plant during the day, tracking to the left. A road runs up the left side of the shot. Cut to mid-shot of workers dressed in safety gear walking towards and then past the camera; some wear blue coveralls, others red coveralls, and still others black coveralls, and all have hardhats with safety goggles perched on top. A large orange site vehicle drives slowly behind these workers and to the right of frame, and we see metal structures in the background.

[Francis Schuurman]

A lot of preparation goes into a maintenance stop like this.

Description: 

An introduction to Shell’s Moerdijk site where chemical products are manufactured from crude oil. A pipeline transports feedstock from the Pernis refinery to Moerdijk to manufacture everyday products. Safety is the top priority, but Moerdijk also plays an important role in the surrounding area, so good neighbourly relations are very important.

The future

[Voiceover]

Investing in solar energy fits Shell's ambition to play an active role in the Dutch energy transition. Reducing CO2 emissions is essential to this endeavour - on the one hand, by improving the energy efficiency of our procedures, and on the other hand, by investing in new energy activities.

[Voiceover]

This is why we're building a solar park with over 75,000 solar panels which will generate 27 megawatts each year - the equivalent to the annual power usage of 9,000 Dutch households. With regard to energy efficiency, we're already among the best chemical locations in the world. But we're constantly raising the bar in order to improve. Our solar energy project adds nicely to this goal.

We are looking forward to a bright future. We've been working on a sustainable environment for years. For starters, we've made our plants more energy-efficient and are researching solutions for our own residual heat and for our neighbours. We are serious about being responsible and we understand the importance of cooperation.

Look! From here to the forest edge, we are building our solar park. We'll have more than 75,000 solar panels supplying 27 megawatts. That's the equivalent of an annual power usage of 9,000 households. Through investments, we're making our plants safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.
