Shell will avoid investing too heavily in solar or other technologies until they can make financial profits, its chief executive has said.
Ben van Beurden told a meeting of shareholders in London that the oil company was already established in windfarms, a carbon capture plant, and wanted to gradually increase its operations in clean energy.
But he rejected the idea contained in a shareholder resolution that Shell should switch its investments from hydrocarbons to renewables although he firmly believed the Paris climate change agreement by world governments was to be welcomed.
