Future energy
The world will be home to more than 9 billion people by 2050. Most will live in cities and many will enjoy higher living standards than today, owning computers, cars and refrigerators for the first time. But these developments will place greater pressure on our world’s resources, such as energy, fresh water and food. At the same time, climate change remains a serious threat. At Shell we are working to help meet future energy and environmental challenges by delivering more energy, cleaner energy and helping our customers to be more energy efficient.
