pyrolysis oil volumes remain limited and the oil itself can be diluted in existing refinery units, such as fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), hydrotreating, coking, and steam cracking units. As pyrolysis oil volumes increase and dilution becomes less viable for managing contaminants, SRPU Hydroprocessing will become more relevant, producing steam cracker drop-in specifications for both greenfield and brownfield applications. SRPU Gasification is positioned for longer-term deployment, when traditional upgrading methods prove insufficient for the most challenging waste streams. Collaboration and integration Success in plastic circularity requires extensive collaboration across the value chain. Shell actively partners with several companies to develop its SRPU Gasification technology, holds equity stakes in primary conversion partners, and engages with suppliers and potential partners across all value chain segments. Shell Catalysts & Technologies’ unique position as owner, operator, and licensor enables it to gather insights from real-world applications,
troubleshoot systems and feed those lessons directly into ongoing technology development. The future is circular Shell’s SRPU portfolio offers a practical, scalable path to advancing plastic circularity. With SRPU Extraction already operating at an industrial scale, SRPU Hydroprocessing progressing through development, and SRPU Gasification offering future flexibility, the portfolio addresses immediate market needs and long-term circularity goals. Its modular design enables risk-managed investments. Operators can also tap into Shell’s deep knowledge base and integration expertise as they plan their circularity road maps. The question is no longer whether plastic circularity is achievable, but how fast the industry can make it happen.
