PORT ALLEN, Louisiana, May 17, 2023 (ENS) – The largest refining catalyst plant in the world is expanding. Shell Catalysts & Technologies, a member of the Shell family of companies, is located in Port Allen, Louisiana, just eight miles from the State Capitol in the city of Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge Parish. It's in the infamous stretch of land between Baton Rouge and New Orleans known as Cancer Alley. The company announced this week it will spend $121.7 million to expand the facility. Changes will increase production of high-performance catalysts used to generate a less energy-intensive refining process.
