On January 20, 2026, RCGI\u2013USP<\/strong> had the pleasure of welcoming Shell\u2019s senior technology leadership<\/strong> for a technical visit and strategic discussions focused on innovation and low-carbon technologies.<\/p>\n

The visit provided an opportunity for in-depth technical exchange around pathways for the energy transition and highlighted RCGI\u2013USP\u2019s research infrastructure and pilot-scale facilities. The agenda included technical visits to the Hydrogen Refueling Station Pilot Plant (Ethanol to H\u2082)<\/strong> and the CO\u2082-to-Methanol Pilot Plant<\/strong>, followed by a working lunch and an institutional presentation showcasing ongoing initiatives from RCGI and OTIC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
