Thomas Casparie, Executive Vice President of Shell’s global chemicals business, said: “Being selected for funding from the Dutch government is a vote of confidence in the initial progress of this joint e-cracking programme, and its potential to help transform the chemicals industry. ISPT is focused on the system integration of preferred concepts, connecting the dynamics of breakthrough technologies with those of utilities and infrastructure in the chemicals industry through the energy transition. It is a founding partner of the state-of-the-art Field Laboratory Industrial Electrification in Rotterdam. TNO has deep knowledge in high temperature heat transfer applications and plays a leading role in identifying innovative electrical technologies that could be deployed in industry. The two new collaborators bring further expertise and a common commitment to a low-carbon future. The companies are now evaluating construction of a multi-megawatt pilot plant, with potential start-up in 2025, subject to investment support. Joint teams in the Netherlands and the US have deployed their expertise in electrical design, metallurgy, hydrocarbon technology and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to narrow down concepts, validate emissions benefits, advance patents, demonstrate the durability of electric heating elements, and partner with equipment suppliers. The dual-path approach aims to support emission reductions required to meet the companies’ 2030 CO 2 ambitions and their targets to achieve net zero emissions businesses by 2050 or sooner, in line with the Paris agreement. In the first year, the programme has advanced electrification solutions for today’s steam crackers while also pursuing game-changing technologies for novel designs of electrified crackers in the longer-term. This multi-company collaboration aims to accelerate key milestones for the near-term progress and longer-term breakthroughs needed. They also announce joining forces with The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT).

The companies confirm that the joint programme has been awarded €3.5 million (US$4.2 million) in Mission-driven Research, Development and Innovation subsidy (MOOI) scheme funding by the Netherlands government. This new route has the potential to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions from one of the central processes of the chemical industry.

For all the details, check the user manual.Following announcement of a joint development agreement in June 2020, Dow and Shell have reported progress on their technology programme to electrically heat steam cracker furnaces. This Jump Starter ( on Amazon | Affiliate link) is a neat gadget that is way better and more practical than older jump starter designs which are single-function devices you might never use at all. My electric toothbrushes, hair clippers, lights, and flashlights: all are USB-compatible.

In my opinion, all small devices should be rechargeable via USB, and I made that switch a long time ago. It includes charging while driving (car USB adapter included). It’s one of the easiest to charge, thanks to the dual USB inputs.

Still, the Shell SH916WC Portable Lithium Jump Starter is very straightforward to use and seems rugged enough to stay in the trunk of your car safely. Unfortunately, this Mophie jump starter requires charging with a proprietary power supply (14V/0.85A). If you want to spend even more, something like the Mophie Powerstation Go AC (189.85 MSRP) has a 65W AC outlet, which the Shell SH916WC does not have. That said, the $129.99 price for the 16,000 mAh version can make it more expensive than dumb jump starters that are not charge-friendly with mobile devices or have a USB-C charging option. However, most phones battery chargers won’t jumpstart your car. With dimensions of 9.17 x 3.46 x 1.42 (3.1 Lbs), it’s not a small object, and you could conceptually find a more compact 12,000 mAh battery pack for your phone. The flashlight has four operation modes, including flashlight, floodlight, SOS, and Red Alert. You might use its integrated flashlight during a blackout in addition to charging your phones while camping or hiking during your trip.
