Judgement to vacate a ruling (Re: Environmental Clean up Costs)
13 June 2012
A biofuels company set up by Shell in Brazil has scrapped controversial plans to source sugar cane from land stolen from an indigenous tribe after a vociferous campaign by the Indians and Survival International.
The company, Raizen, was established in 2010 as a joint venture of Shell and Brazilian ethanol giant Cosan to produce biofuel from sugar cane.
But some of its sugar cane is grown on land claimed by the Guarani tribe, one of the most persecuted and impoverished in South America. Their leaders are regularly killed by gunmen acting for the sugar cane growers and cattle ranchers who have taken over almost all their land.

(Reuters) – The French government has put on hold plans by Royal Dutch Shell to drill for oil in four exploratory sites off the coast of French Guiana while it carries out a review of how permits are awarded, Le Monde newspaper said on Wednesday.
Shell had been expecting to receive authorisation on Thursday to begin looking for oil in the sites 150 kilometres off the coast of the French overseas territory, the paper said.
Instead, it will have to wait for an “in-depth and general” study to be carried out into the issuing of oil permits, the paper quoted the French ecology and energy ministry as saying.

(Reuters) – Oil giant Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L), fuel distribution firm Greenergy and storage company Vopak are putting together a joint bid to buy the Coryton refinery as a storage terminal, a union official said on Wednesday.
The union said it would fight the move, which would put the vast majority of the 900 workforce out of a job, and will step up protests to encourage the government to support a bid to keep it operational.
“We’re hearing it’s a tripartate agreement,” said Russ Ball, regional representative for Unite the Union.

A new report from the Alaska Wilderness League highlights Royal Dutch Shell’s international track record on oil spills, operational safety and even human rights violations. The environmental group believes it’s damning evidence that proves Shell can’t be relied on to safely punch holes in the fragile and dangerous waters off Alaska’s northern coast.
The report uncloaks a “disturbing history around the world that ultimately shows that Shell cannot and must not be trusted with our one and only Arctic Ocean,” according to a press release announcing the report.
