High performance quality fuels
Shell V-Power
Shell V-Power represents the pinnacle of Shell’s 100 years of fuel technology expertise. It has undergone more than five years of rigorous substantiation and testing by 150 fuel scientists across seven technology centres worldwide.
Shell V-Power is designed to clean 100% of vital engine parts and prevent future build-up, helping your engine perform like new1 – fill after fill, drive after drive. It is the only fuel used, trusted and recommended by Scuderia Ferrari HP – the result of a technology partnership that began 75 years ago.
Shell FuelSave
Our latest Shell FuelSave formulation is scientifically proven to give improved fuel economy, supporting engine efficiency across every journey. Shell FuelSave helps to clean and protect key fuel system components such as intake values and fuel injectors from the build-up of performance-robbing deposits.2
Shell Instant fuel economy
In our test Shell FuelSave Unleaded lasted up to 15km longer per tank for light-duty vehicles – a 2% improvement.
In heavy-duty vehicles this improved fuel economy was independently proven to save fuel by up to 3.75% per tank by cleaning more thoroughly than ever before.3
AdBlue®
AdBlue® reduces the harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) in diesel vehicle exhaust emissions by up to 90%13, by converting them into nitrogen and water vapour.
Low-carbon fuels
Shell offers a range of lower-carbon fuels compared to conventional diesel – helping medium and heavy-duty fleets to move towards decarbonisation.
Shell LNG and BioLNG
LNG and bio-LNG are practical, economical and emission-reducing options for large trucks and heavy transport. In Europe, Shell LNG can help to emit less life cycle CO2e4 emissions during heavy-duty vehicle operation by up to 18% compared to B7 diesel5, depending on engine type. Meanwhile, Shell BioLNG is a drop-in fuel made from biofeedstocks6 leading to less CO2e4 emissions on a life cycle basis compared to LNG7.
Shell Renewable Diesel
Derived from waste and residue, non-food and non-feed feedstock8, and compatible with most existing diesel engines9, Shell Renewable Diesel is a viable low-carbon alternative. In Europe, Shell Renewable Diesel offers less life cycle CO2e10 emissions compared to conventional diesel11. Shell Renewable Diesel is also free of unwanted components such as sulphur, metals and aromatics.

4. CO2e (CO2 equivalent) refers to CO2, CH4, N2O.
5. The reduced GHG emissions are calculated by comparing the LNG Well-to-Wheel emissions for the High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) engine from the “Greenhouse Gas Intensity of Natural Gas” study by Thinkstep for NGVA Europe (2017). This was compared to a GHG baseline intensity of 90 gCO2e/MJ on a Well-to-Wheel basis, which is representative of a European Union market B7 diesel. The carbon intensity of the B7 diesel is calculated by Shell using emission factors from the JEC Well-to-Tank report v5. (European Commission, Joint Research Centre, Prussi, M., Yugo, M., De Prada, L., et al., JEC well-to-tank report V5: JEC well-to-wheels analysis: well-to-wheels analysis of future automotive fuels and powertrains in the European context, Publications Office, 2020, https://data.europa.eu/doi/10.2760/959137).
6. The most common feedstocks include solid and liquid manure, agricultural waste and residues, industrial food and beverage waste, and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste.
7. Baseline LNG GHG emissions are calculated by comparing the LNG Well-to-Wheel emissions for the High Pressure Direct Injection (HDPI) engine from the “Greenhouse Gas Intensity of Natural Gas” study by Thinkstep for NGVA Europe (2017). The specific calculation of reduced CO2e emissions of using Bio-LNG compared to LNG may vary from region to region depending upon feedstocks used and accounting methodology allowed within the market.
8. Shell Renewable Diesel is derived from allocated waste and residue non-food and feed biofuel feedstocks compliant with the RED II directive including but not limited to feedstocks listed under the Annex IX-A and IX-B [Link]
9. When switching from diesel. Based on Shell’s operability studies and market experience to date. Vehicle handbook and/or label at the fuel tank socket must be checked for OEM approval. Not applicable for passenger cars.
10. CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) refers to CO2, CH4, N2O.
11. Product life cycle CO2e emissions are associated with the production and use of a specific product, from well to wheel, including emissions from feedstock production and collection, processing, storage, transport, distribution and combustion.

Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this content we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), 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’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI 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 and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks 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.
Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures
This content may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as adjusted earnings 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.
