THE WORLD NEEDS MORE AND CLEANER ENERGYGlobal energy challenge
2 3
The world will need much more energy to power homes and fuel transport for a growing population with rising living standards. But, to tackle climate change, energy must increasingly come from lower-carbon sources.
The world today is dynamic and fast-changing, and for many, energy is a defining feature
Lives and livelihoods, economies and communities depend on convenient, reliable and affordable energy to thrive
As the global population increases and incomes rise, demand for energy will grow
Meanwhile the need to address stresses on the environment – especially climate change – has never been more important
Changes need to happen across all sectors of economic activity especially in power, transport, buildings and industry – four major sectors where energy is consumed, and that produce significant energy-related CO2 emissions.
Urgency, realism, innovation and collaboration are key. The global energy transition, therefore, will span decades and require unprecedented collaboration between policy-makers, leaders from business and non-governmental organisations, and consumers.
To tackle climate change, energy must increasingly come from lower-carbon sources.
GETTING TO NET-ZERO EMISSIONS The only way to go
4 5
“ Reducing emissions to net-zero – lowering them to the point at which the world is no longer adding to the stock of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere – is the only way to go.” Ben van Beurden Shell CEO July 2019
The Paris Agreement has sent a signal around the world: climate change is a serious issue that governments, businesses and society are determined to address. The Paris Agreement set a goal of keeping the rise in the global average temperature well below 2°C, and Shell strongly supports it.
By 2070, there is the potential for a very different energy system to emerge. To achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement, Shell believes the world is likely to have to stop adding to the stock of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by 2070. This is a state known as net-zero emissions.
But by 2070, the number of people on the planet will have risen by around a third from today to more than 10 billion, and people’s living standards will have improved. Together, these trends mean the world will use more and more energy. Even with a huge improvement in energy efficiency, the world is likely to be using 50% more energy by 2070, compared to today.

SHELL’S ROLE IN THE TRANSITION TO A LOW-CARBON WORLD Committed to playing our part
SHELL’S NET CARBON FOOTPRINT AMBITION Thrive in the energy transition
6 7
We agree that action is needed now on climate change, so we fully support the Paris Agreement and the need for society to transition to a lower-carbon future.
We’re committed to playing our part, by addressing our own emissions and helping customers to reduce theirs. As the energy system evolves, so will our business, to provide the mix of products that our customers need. We are reshaping our portfolio by growing our Integrated Gas, Chemicals, and New Energies businesses.
We have already invested billions of dollars in a range of low-carbon technologies, from biofuels, hydrogen and wind power, to electric vehicle charging and smart energy storage solutions. But addressing a challenge as big as climate change requires a truly collaborative, society-wide approach.
We believe that smart policy from government, supported by inclusive action from businesses like ours and from civil society, is the best way to reach solutions and drive progress. We want to work together to #MakeTheFuture energy system one that enables a world of opportunities – for individuals, communities, countries and companies – while helping to protect the planet.
We intend to cut the carbon intensity of the energy products we sell, in step with society as it moves towards the goal of the Paris Agreement.
That means fewer greenhouse gases emitted on average with each unit of energy we sell – by around 20% by 2035 and by around half by 2050*. And that includes all the emissions from the life cycle of each of our energy products:
from production to processing, to transportation and through to final use. This is what we call our Net Carbon Footprint ambition.
In 2019, we set a three-year target to reduce our Net Carbon Footprint by 2% to 3%, compared to 2016
Our executives’ pay is linked to this target
* Net Carbon Footprint measured on an aggregate “well to wheel” or “well to wire” basis, from production through to consumption, on grams of CO2 equivalent per megajoule of energy products consumed; chemicals + lubricants products are excluded. Carbon Footprint of the energy system is modelled using Shell methodology aggregating lifecycle emissions of energy products on a fossil equivalence basis. The methodology will be further reviewed and validated in collaboration with external experts.

How biomethane works:
Shell Energy Europe leverages our expertise as an established natural gas trader and supplier to offer renewable gas products, including biomethane which can help you achieve your decarbonisation goals.
Depending on what is most important for your business we have a biomethane strategy which can work for you from supplying certificates only, to gas with transport and corresponding certificates.
We can offer you biomethane without the need to alter your physical infrastructure or gas purchase agreements.
Shell works with environmental projects around the world that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving the livelihoods of local communities and preserving biodiversity and wildlife. These projects generate carbon credits that can be used to compensate for your company’s emissions.
In January 2020 Shell announced an important step towards decarbonising heavy-duty road transport in Germany by extending its German LNG station network to 35-40 sites and supplying it with carbon-neutral LNG fuel. The initiative includes sourcing biomethane produced from wet manure, agricultural or municipal waste, building gas liquefaction capacity and the distribution of carbon neutral LNG through Shell’s LNG station network.
Biomethane can help you achieve complete decarbonisation without the need for additional capital investment.

How it works: Compensating for your CO₂ emissions
Voluntary carbon credits are a recognised mechanism that allows individuals and companies to invest in environmental projects that contribute to reducing the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Some offer broader value to society, including improved social livelihoods and biodiversity, clean water and air quality while balancing peoples’ carbon footprints.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR BUSINESSShell Energy Europe, your trusted partner to deliver clean energy solutions for you
To help you offset the unavoidable emissions that are produced by natural gas combustion at your site, we can tailor a solution that is carbon neutral.
We can source and supply gas at competitive prices, giving you the opportunity to fix and unfix your commodity price before your gas is delivered.
Your natural gas supply is bundled with independently verified carbon credits to compensate greenhouse gas emissions from gas combustion.
We use emission factors published in the National Inventory Reports to calculate your emissions from combustion of natural gas.
We guarantee that the consumed volume of natural gas matches the volume of credits and provide you with a CO₂ compensation certificate.
You will be able to use all available marketing materials related to our global portfolio of nature-based projects to add value to your brand.
We supply natural gas with high-quality, voluntary carbon credits from nature-based projects around the world.
Illustrative example:For every 100 GWh of energy produced by burning natural gas, 20,400mt CO₂e is emitted.* These unavoidable emissions can be compensated through the retirement of 20,400 nature-based carbon credits. A certificate documenting the removal or avoidance of the CO₂ emissions will be issued.
*Conversion rates may vary by country.
