[Adel Al Redha]
SAF can be safely dropped into existing jet engines and a fuelling infrastructure and can potentially reduce carbon lifecycle emission by up to 80% comparing with conventional jet fuel. The use of technology and logistics efficiency will help make the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel more economical and more widely available. Emirates appreciate Shell Aviation efforts in taking the steps in making SAF available for Emirates and we are pleased to working with Shell Aviation on this matter.

Title: Driving decarbonisation: from ‘what’ to ‘how’ with Yara International
Duration: 3:24 minutes
Description:
Addressing the challenges and collaborative solutions to reducing emissions in the food production industry.
Anna Mascolo, Executive VP of Low Carbon Solutions, remarks on the vital link between energy production, agriculture, and global sustainability, and the collaborative efforts between Shell and pioneering customers to reduce emissions.
Svein Tore Holsether, CEO of Yara International, comments on the historical significance of nitrogen fixation for food production and the imperative to address the emissions generated through this process. He discusses collaborative projects, such as carbon capture and storage initiatives, and innovative ventures like utilizing sugarcane residue for biogas production that can, in turn, be used in fertiliser production. He emphasises that the Paris Agreement is not a barrier but an opportunity to unlock new business opportunities in sustainable practices.

Today, that innovation feeds four billion people every year. But at the same time, it's a production process that results in significant emissions, and we need to deal with that. But let's not forget there are huge business opportunities connected to this. There is a lot of potential income as a result of that.

And these are the kinds of solutions the world needs now to address the emissions challenge.

[Svein Tore Holsether]
So the great thing, when we work together with a company like Shell, is that we put our collective minds together to think about solutions. It's that we come up with new and exciting projects, like a really cool one in Brazil, where we're working on using residue from sugarcane production to turn that into biogas that we, in turn, can then use for the production of ammonia and fertiliser. It's really full circle, where you use the residue from crop production to produce fertiliser that you then, in turn, feed back in order to make even more crops. The Paris Agreement is not a barrier to business. It's an enabler of business opportunities.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “aim”, “ambition”, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘estimate’’, ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘goals’’, ‘‘intend’’, ‘‘may’’, “milestones”, ‘‘objectives’’, ‘‘outlook’’, ‘‘plan’’, ‘‘probably’’, ‘‘project’’, ‘‘risks’’, “schedule”, ‘‘seek’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘target’’, ‘‘will’’ and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this web page, including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell’s products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, such as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, regional conflicts, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and a significant cybersecurity breach; and (n) changes in trading conditions.

All forward-looking statements contained in this web page are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this web page and should be considered by the reader.

Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this web page we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity”, which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.
Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target
Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
Shell expects to publish its 2024 Energy Transition Strategy on March 14, 2024, which will include an update on Shell’s energy transition strategy and set out Shell’s climate targets and ambitions for the future.
Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures
This web page may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.
