Shell: Energy Transition Hydrogen Equipment Cases
Challenge
Shell is transitioning to net-zero by 2050 with major hydrogen and renewable investments. They need cases for hydrogen electrolyzers, fuel cells, and renewable energy equipment transported globally. Cases must: (1) meet ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 + 2 for hydrogen, (2) survive marine/offshore transport, (3) protect $200,000+ electrolyzer components, (4) integrate with Shell supply chain, (5) be reusable 300+ cycles.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided hydrogen-grade cases with: (1) ATEX Zone 1 + IECEx certified, (2) 316L stainless steel hardware, (3) custom foam for PEM electrolyzers, alkaline electrolyzers, fuel cells, (4) serialized QR + Shell supply chain, (5) 300+ cycle rating. Custom foam for Nel ASA electrolyzers, ITM Power PEM stacks, Ballard fuel cells.
Result
1,500 cases deployed across 30+ sites. 18 months zero equipment damage. 100% ATEX + IECEx compliance. Shell standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified hydrogen case vendor.
Client Testimonial
Shell's energy transition to net-zero by 2050 requires safe hydrogen and renewable equipment transport. KeXinMaterials cases have proven ATEX Zone 1 and IECEx compliance across 30+ sites. The 300+ cycle reusability supports our ESG goals. They're our standard hydrogen case. — Shell Global Energy Transition Director
