Demand for clean energy is spur for change at Shell

Shell letter to the FT: Demand for clean energy is spur for change at Shell

From Ed Daniels, Executive Vice-President, Strategy & Portfolio, Shell, The Hague, The Netherlands

Your article “Will Shell case accelerate the shift to green energy?” (The Big Read, January 12) argues that Shell “can still continue to expand its fossil fuel businesses while meeting its ‘net zero’ emissions goal”. That is neither practically possible, nor true to our intent.

Shell’s intent is visible in the way the company is already, and enthusiastically, moving into low and zero-carbon energy while lowering our net carbon footprint. Shell knows it must do so today if it is to be a successful business in the future. That is the spur for change: the fact Shell’s customers are increasingly demanding cleaner energy. read more

Australia’s Prelude FLNG shipments resume: Shell

Published date: 11 January 2021

Cargo shipments have resumed at the 3.6mn t/yr Prelude floating LNG (FLNG) offshore Western Australia (WA), around 11 months after it went off line in February 2020 because of technical issues.

“LNG cargoes have resumed from Shell’s Prelude FLNG facility,” said operator Shell.

Prelude FLNG in the Browse basin has been plagued by technical issues since it started shipments in June 2019. read more

“Prelude has been a ‘white elephant’…

Shell resumes gas shipments from world’s largest floating structure

Jamie Smyth in Sydney: 11 Jan 2021

The restart of the huge Prelude facility — which at 488 metres is longer than four football fields — is a welcome boost for Shell as it coincides with a record surge in LNG prices fuelled by a cold snap in Asia. But construction challenges, cost overruns and technical problems with Prelude, as well as challenging market conditions, have prompted Shell and other producers to cancel other FLNG projects. “Prelude has been a ‘white elephant’ — we always felt it was a technology looking for a solution rather than the other way round,” said Neil Beveridge, an analyst at Bernstein. read more

Shell case puts spotlight on energy groups’ role in climate change

Anjli Raval in London: 11 Jan 2021

It is five years since the Netherlands lost a court action forcing it to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. It was the first time a government had been compelled by law to take action on climate change and was upheld by an appeals court in 2019, meaning that Dutch authorities have to reduce emissions by 25 per cent compared with 1990 levels. Now the lawyer behind that 2015 case — Roger Cox — has a new target, Royal Dutch Shell… read more

Ship Orders Slump 50% With Owners Unsure Which Green Fuel to Use

By Elizabeth Low and Jack Wittels: 8 January 2021, 09:00 GMT

  • LNG, ammonia and hydrogen among alternative fuel contenders
  • Orders at lowest in at least two decades in 2020: IHS Markit

Article Extracts

Ship owners facing looming deadlines to use less-polluting fuels have slashed the number of new vessels on order because they don’t know which alternative technology to switch to.

Ammonia, hydrogen, biofuels and electrification are some of the many contenders to power the world’s future merchant fleet, but most are only in the trial stage and won’t be scalable for at least a decade. With the life of a commercial ship averaging around 20 years, opting for a technology that doesn’t take off could be very costly. read more
