IH2 Demonstration Facility
See how you can convert forestry, agricultural, and mixed urban waste into fungible hydrocarbon transportation fuels at Shell Catalysts & Technologies’ waste to fuel IH2 Demonstration Facility. Learn how to integrate an IH2 process with a steam reformer, using off-gases to achieve hydrogen self-sufficiency.
Validate Waste to Fuel Design, Technology, and Process for Commercial Viability
Convert forestry, agricultural, and mixed urban waste into fungible hydrocarbon transportation fuels with cost-effective IH2 technology. Shell Catalysts & Technologies’ IH2 Demonstration Facility validates the use of IH2 technology and the IH2 process under commercially relevant hydrodynamic conditions.
At our IH2 waste to fuel Demonstration Facility, licensees will be able to fine-tune process models and receive training. They’ll also see:
- How to structure IH2 technology and equipment, including off-the-shelf hydropyrolysis and hydroconversion reactors, hydrogen manufacturing units, and hydrogen compressors, into a commercially viable process.
- How an IH2 process can be integrated with a steam reformer, using the off-gases of the main process to achieve hydrogen self-sufficiency.
- How five metric tonnes of feedstock is processed into transportation fuels using a dry, ash-free basis every day.

Shorten IH2 implementation time and cost with off-the-shelf equipment.
Reduce lead time and costs by using commercially available IH2 equipment. Our IH2 waste to fuel Demonstration Facility highlights how operators can leverage off-the-shelf IH2 technology for all key process elements to implement a cost-effective method for processing feedstock into fuels.
Our goal is to help operators scale up and commercialise the IH2 process, demonstrating the equipment, process, and setup needed to achieve full-scale capacity. Our fully-functioning IH2 Demonstration Facility showcases the real-world use case, processing 5 metric tonnes of feedstock into gasoline, jet, and diesel fuels daily.
