We are pleased to announce that Shell FRED 2023 is now live and available for download.

Shell FRED 2023 replaces the software’s previous version (Shell FRED 2022). The latest consequence modelling software now incorporates two new key enhancements.


Improved export/import function for scenario input

Shell FRED 2023 comes with the capability to handle bulk scenario creation or modification through the improved export/ import function for the scenario input feature. Users can now export an Excel template from Shell FRED to enter multiple scenario conditions and then import it back to the software for further calculations. This is very relevant when users are performing multiple consequence cases, such as for QRA studies. 

With this feature, you can save a considerable amount of time when inputting the analysis conditions and increase the efficiency of your work.


Integrated map for effective result presentation

Integrated geographic information to locate scenarios and their corresponding results directly with satellite imagery of the actual location. With just a few clicks, users can create an effective result presentation which can be easily understood even by non-technical professionals

This feature will help you to better explain the extent of hazards you are analysing through a clear visualisation, especially when graph and number representations are seen as the less practical approach to delivering your findings.


Additional benefits

Shell FRED 2023 also includes improvements to dispersion modelling for liquid hydrogen releases. To support the energy transition within the industry, the capability for modelling dispersion from liquid hydrogen releases has been improved. These refinements to thermodynamics include the capacity to model the condensation of oxygen and nitrogen from air and changes to heat capacity parameters, both of which directly affect when the cryogenic hydrogen plume becomes buoyant.
