| Shell is committed to developing new energy sources and is a world leader in the supply of biofuels to the automotive sector. Shell has also pioneered the production of synthetic fuels via the Fischer-Tropsch process. Shell has operated a Gas to Liquids (GTL) Plant for the past 10 years in Malaysia, producing ultra-clean synthetic fuels free from sulphur and aromatics. Based on that technology and experience Shell is constructing a much larger 140, 000-bbl/day plant in Qatar. In February 2008, an Airbus A380 was the first commercial aircraft to fly using Shell synthetic GTL jet fuel during an extensive flight test between the United Kingdom and France. This flight marked the first stage in a collaborative programme between Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Shell, Qatar Petroleum and the Qatar Foundation announced at the Dubai Airshow in November 2007. Shell Group research is focused on finding sustainable routes for producing hydrocarbons from diverse sources. Shell Aviation鈥檚 strategy is to use its expertise to help the worldwide aviation industry find alternative fuels for the future. |
