The research program investigates new raw materials and new biofuels production processes, focusing on improving efficiency and lowering costs. the research agreements will last between two and five years. The Chinese institutions are, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology.
This announcement builds on Shell's long heritage in biomass R&D, with continuous investment over 30 years. The dedicated biofuels research and technology team now works out of centers in: Thornton, Cheshire, UK; Westhollow, Houston, USA; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Bangalore, India.
Dr. Graeme Sweeney, Shell executive vice president Future Fuels and CO2 said, "Shell's in-house biofuels R&D is longstanding, leading and globally coordinated. However, we know that adding to our knowledge through genuine and nimble partnerships with top experts worldwide will be critical to speed and success in the fast-moving area of biofuels."
Dr. Li Yin, researcher of the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, stated that the cooperation with Shell is important to the Institute's international cooperation in science and technology.
