SYNTHETIC TECHNOLOGY FOR CLEANER AIR1

what is shell Gtl Fuel?GTL stands for Gas-to-liquids, which means a liquid fuel made from natural gas rather than crude oil. Transforming gas into liquid fuel is a complex chemical process, which Shell has been enhancing since 1970.

shell Gtl Fuel – cleaner BurninG and saFe to use shell Gtl Fuel burns more cleanly than conventional crude oil-based diesel and thus produces fewer local emissions (nitrogen oxides, NOx; sulphur oxides, SOx) and less visible black smoke (or particulate matter/PM).

shell Gtl Fuel properties:

Virtually sulphur and aromatics-free

Clear, waterwhite

Almost odourless

High cetane number (75–80)

Non-toxic2

Readily biodegradable

Good cold flow

tYpical local emissions BeneFits For heavY-dutY vehicles

easY and immediate resultsCompared to investing in particulate filters, new vehicles or new engine technologies, converting to shell Gtl Fuel is less expensive and is simple and fast.

Shell GTL Fuel can be used in existing heavy-duty diesel vehicles without modifications1

Easy switch-over from diesel fuel and no infrastructure investment required

Easier to store, transport and handle than other gas-derived fuels such as LNG and CNG

reducinG local emissions – Good For the communitY as well as For Your BusinessAs large urban areas become even bigger, air pollution from vehicle emissions grows too. A reduction in your fleet’s local emissions can contribute to better air quality in the city or the area where you operate. From an economic point of view, this is also an important goal:

Can help you comply with environmental regulations

Can help improve your company’s image through reduced environmental impact

Can enhance employee well-being

shell Gtl Fuel in actionShell GTL Fuel has undergone many practical tests and is already being used in real world applications. The following examples show customers’ experiences of its benefits the easy way – without needing to invest in new vehicles or infrastructure.

During the testing, a further reduction in local emissions (–8 % NOx, –27 % CO), as well as a decrease in fuel consumption of –4.5 % (versus +2.5 % without engine tuning), was achieved with engine tuning.

The benefits were measured by TÜV Nord on a Euro IV double-decker MAN bus equipped with a CRT particulate filter.

NOx reduction: ~ 7 %

CO reduction: ~ 20 %

puBlic Bus service BvG (Berlin, GermanY)BVG, operator of the public bus service in Germany’s capital of Berlin, tested Shell GTL Fuel in a two-day on-road local emissions test. In addition to easy switch-over, reduced local emissions benefits were achieved:

hitachi puts its trust in shell Gtl Fuel For First FillHitachi has one of the widest ranges of excavators in the world and supplies wheel loaders, rigid dump trucks and other construction equipment for special applications. After two successful trials, Hitachi Construction Machinery Europe (HCME) has decided to use Shell GTL Fuel for first fill of its construction machinery sold in Europe.

The storage stability and cold weather operability trials conducted by Hitachi in two Zaxis-5 excavators in May 2013 demonstrated that Shell GTL Fuel was fit for purpose and remained stable during the entire duration of the extensive testing.

“ As Germany’s largest municipal transport operator, we feel responsible for helping to improve the air quality in our capital. That is why we are delighted to take an active part in developing fuels of the future.” Burkhard Eberwein, Former Head of BVG Vehicle Management

“ We knew that Shell GTL Fuel is compatible with existing diesel technology and refuelling infrastructure, which allows easy switch-over from regular diesel without the need for any modifications!” Igor de Liefde, responsible for product regulation in HCME’s engineering department
