Figure 5 Shell Catalysts & Technologies offers technologies that can create syngas from multiple renewable feedstocks and creates a range of desirable low-carbon products from syngas

engineering backgrounds to create simple, standard units using modular offsite building techniques that can be conveniently transported by truck to their destinations. One example of this collaboration is the CCS project with Hafslund Oslo Celsio, which recently received a final investment decision, with the intent to be fully operational by 2026. This project is set to reduce the city of Oslo’s emissions by 17%. Syngas value chain Syngas deserves a special focus because it is a path that holds a lot of promise for creating

sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other synthetic hydrocarbon liquids. The syngas value chain, shown in Figure 5 , begins with the gasification of renewable feedstocks such as organic biomass and waste plastic into syngas and hydrogen, which is then converted to SAF or other products using the Fischer–Tropsch process. Additionally, the power-to-liquids route, which uses captured CO 2 , can be used for syngas production. The use of reverse water-gas shift to turn CO 2 directly captured from the air into carbon monoxide could be a potential solution for achieving total carbon circularity in the
