Solar

Shell's activities in the electricity sector cover many countries. Electricity can be generated from multiple sources, including natural gas – the cleanest-burning hydrocarbon – and renewables such as wind and solar.

Shell believes the number of customers choosing solar power will continue to grow. We are developing solar projects in different parts of the world that are aligned with our customers' needs.

Shell is actively developing commercial ways to provide a reliable electricity supply to more customers.

Hydrogen could be an important low-carbon transport fuel in the future. Shell is part of several global initiatives to encourage the adoption of hydrogen electric energy.

Technology and new business models are disrupting the global energy system. Shell Ventures is helping start-ups with disruptive and cleaner energy solutions to grow.

Biofuels have grown in the transport fuel mix over the past decade. Today around 4% of the world's transport fuels come from biofuels. They are expected to play a valuable part in the changing energy mix in the future.

Shell is working to meet the charging needs of electric vehicle drivers – at home, at work or on the road.

The world needs a range of measures to limit carbon dioxide emissions while meeting rising energy demand. They include the protection and restoration of natural ecosystems such as forests, grasslands and wetlands. So how do such “nature-based solutions” work and what is Shell doing to support them?
