THE FUTURE OF ENERGY – OUTLOOK FOR 2050
Rising energy demand, supply pressure and climate change
9 BILLION
people, 75%
living in cities
(2 BILLION
more than today)
2 BILLION
vehicles
(TRIPLE the
current number)

Many
MILLIONS
of people will
rise out of
energy poverty.
Higher standards
of living mean
rising energy use
Energy demand
could DOUBLE
from 2000
levels, while CO2
emissions must
be half today’s
levels to avoid
serious climate
change
Energy efficiency
measures mean
HALF of the
energy needs to
produce each
dollar of wealth
3 TIMES more
energy from
renewable
sources
GLOBAL SUPPLY MARKET OUTLOOK
 Gradual shift in production capacity
Evolution of global base oil capacity by quality
from Group I to Group II/III base oils
 Group I’s share of global base oil
capacity will decline to around 41% by
2020, from 51% currently, while Group
II and III base oils will rise to 32% and
18%, respectively
 Asia Pacific is set to see the largest
capacity increases, followed by North
America and the Middle East

FROM NATURAL GAS TO LIQUID ENERGY
How Shell creates products from natural gas that would otherwise be produced from oil.
Offshore
Separation
Pipes carry gas to a
processing facility
Water and other byproducts are separated
from the gas
Gasification
The remaining pure natural
gas flows to the gasification
unit that mixes it with
oxygen and converts it into
a combination of hydrogen
and carbon monoxide
known as synthesis gas or
syngas
Reactor and
catalyst
Syngas enters a reactor
where a catalyst that speeds
up the chemical reaction
converts the syngas into
long-chained waxy
hydrocarbons and water
Cracker/
distiller
The cracker uses hydrogen
to cut the long-chained
hydrocarbon molecules into
smaller molecules of
different sizes which are
then distilled into various
liquid products, each with
different boiling points
Storage/
export
Resulting liquids:
Naphtha
Kerosene
Normal paraffins
Gasoil
Base oils
The GTL process converts natural gas to clean fuels and high-quality products

PURITY THAT MEETS MORE STRINGENT LEGISLATION – THE TOTAL
PAH LEVELS ARE COMPARABLE WITH MEDICAL WHITE OILS
 Shell Risella X oils have very low polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) levels that are
comparable with medical white oils.
 Their purity is in line with the requirements for formulations that meet more stringent
legislation, which makes them appropriate for applications requiring higher levels of
purity.

WITH GROUP II PROCESS OILS
Shell Risella X 430
contains longer carbon
chains when compared
to conventional oils at
same viscosity
