Climate change
Global population growth and economic development may double energy demand by 2050. All energy sources will be needed, with fossil fuels meeting the bulk of people’s needs. At the same time CO2 emissions must be reduced to avoid serious climate change. To manage CO2 emissions, governments and industry will need to work together. As Shell increases its gas and oil production to help meet growing demand, we believe the best way to help secure a sustainable energy future is by focusing on four main areas: natural gas, biofuels, carbon capture and storage, and energy efficiency in our operations.
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.
Helping customers to use less energy
Offering customers more energy-efficient fuels and lubricants, as well as driver coaching to help save fuel.
