CRUDE DEMAND CHANGES VARYING BITUMEN PRODUCTION AT THE EXPENSE OF QUALITY

QUALITY IMPACT FROM CONVERSION CAPACITIES

CHALLENGES OUR CUSTOMERS ARE LIKELY TO FACE

Varying bitumen quality from choice of crude processed

Quality & quantity impact from changing bitumen production

Uncertainty of quality consistency from

new product processes

HOW WILL IMO 2020 impact bitumen industry and customers?

Consequences to asphalt mix and its application performance

Our World Is Changing

Understanding society’s needs

World population is growing at a

rapid pace with urbanization as a

mega-trend

Individual empowerment with

digitized and user-centred

services and applications

Climate change &

environmental constraints –

Net Zero goal

New concept of mobility -

connected, energy-driven

autonomous, shared

A new concept of mobility

Connected A new data ecosystem where

information from cars, roads and traffic signage converge

Electric & autonomousFuture cars powered by electric

batteries and having autonomous-drive technology

User-centeredMobility as a service accessible from

personal devices

SharedShared access to vehicles to allow more flexibility and convenience

A new mindset for Roads

Roads must get better at what they already do

Perform better & be more resilientLonger lastingSelf repairing

Be saferClear binders for clear roads

Better skid resistance

Provide cleaner construction solutions

Odor neutralizingAllow for recycled material use,

within consequential boundaries

Be less noisy

A new mindset for Roads

Roads must get smarter

Fight air pollution - capture polluting particles, smart roads that

improve air quality.

Generate energy - Capture solar (conductive asphalt, kinetics) or

traffic energy.

Perform at high standards in extreme climate conditions

Allow data capture and transfer. Smart roads that can transmit data.

SHELL’S AMBITION –Net Carbon FootprintThrive in the energy transition

“The world must change the way it uses energy, and Shell must help to make this happen by providing solutions that can help our customers reduce their emissions.”

Ben van Beurden, Shell CEO

Ambition: Reduce the Net Carbon

Footprint of the energy products we sell by around 20% by 2035 and by around 50% by 2050, in step with society

How to Contribute to a Lower Emission Future

01 Avoid

emissions……………………………………………………….

Build roads that last longer

Improves road durability

Delay major maintenance which consume more resources and energy

Preventative Maintenance Solution

02 Reduce

emissions………………………………………………..………............

Solutions that reduce

Asphalt production, storage and paving temperatures

Energy needed & GHG

Air Quality related gases and particulates

03 Compensate

unavoidable emissions……………………………………………..…….

Carbon Compensation

Mitigate unavoidable carbon emissions resulting from Bitumen production (well-to-gate) by Nature Based Solutions

Q&A

Reduce emissions of the asphalt mixtures

Shell Bitumen FreshAir has shown, on average, to reduce gases and

particulate matter from asphalt mixtures* by 40%In Laboratory: NOx, SOx,

In Field: NOx, SOx, VOC, CO, PM**

≈ 40%

“VALIDATED BY STATISTICS AND DATA SCIENCE EXPERT TEAM”

“TESTED 20 BITUMENS FROM DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIES”

“MORE THAN 2500 TESTS CONDUCTED AT OUR R&D CENTRE, ACROSS

TEMPERATURE RANGES 1400C TO 1800C”

Shell Trading International Limited

When emissions cannot be avoided, they can be compensated by investing in natural ecosystems

Nature-based solutions offer immediate, scalable and cost-effective pathways to significant net emission reductions, which are necessary for society to achieve the Paris Agreement on climate change.
