Climate change
Population growth and economic development are driving energy demand. All energy sources will be needed, with fossil fuels meeting the bulk of demand. At the same time CO2 emissions must be reduced to avoid serious climate change. To manage CO2, governments and industry must work together. Government action is needed and we support an international framework that puts a price on CO2, encouraging the use of all CO2-reducing technologies. We believe the best way Shell can help secure a sustainable energy future is by focusing on four main areas: natural gas, biofuels, carbon capture and storage, and energy efficiency.
Biofuels and alternative transport fuels
Developing low carbon alternatives for road transport.
Carbon capture and storage
Helping to advance technologies that capture CO2 and store it safely underground.
Energy efficiency in our own operations
Investing in multi-billion dollar energy-efficiency programmes in our operations.
Helping customers to use less energy
Offering customers more energy-efficient fuels and lubricants, as well as driver coaching to help save fuel.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Reporting greenhouse gas emissions from the facilities we operate.
