While oil grabs most of the headlines, Shell’s ambitions in Brazil extend far beyond offshore drilling rigs and deep-water crude.

This week, fresh news reports from Investing.com, Yahoo Finance and other financial outlets have highlighted renewed focus on Raízen, the giant Brazilian biofuels company jointly controlled by Shell and the Brazilian conglomerate Cosan.

The message from Shell appears clear: even as it expands oil production in Brazil’s offshore pre-salt fields, the company is also reinforcing its position in one of the world’s largest ethanol and bioenergy businesses.

In other words, Shell wants to sell you both the fossil fuel and the plant-based alternative. read more

Shell’s “Green” Venture Portfolio Under Review — Translation: The Climate Side Hustle Isn’t Paying Fast Enough

Feb 26th, 2026

by John Donovan.

Comments are off for this post

In yet another sign that “transition” remains a flexible word inside oil major boardrooms, Shell has placed parts of its Shell Ventures portfolio under strategic review, according to a February 26, 2026 Reuters report.

The message from The Hague (or rather, London, depending on which corporate reincarnation you’re referencing): if it doesn’t pump cash like LNG, it may not survive the cull.

The Venture That Was Supposed to Prove It Cared

Shell Ventures was launched to signal that the company was serious about investing in the future: clean tech, mobility platforms, energy storage, grid software, hydrogen plays, and various digital decarbonisation tools. It was the corporate equivalent of buying an electric bicycle while continuing to own the motorway. read more

“WE DENY EVERYTHING” EDITION

**SHELL:

“WE DENY EVERYTHING

AND OBJECT TO THE QUESTION”**

Oil Giant Issues Emergency Statement as AI, Archives & Afterlife Close In

SHELL HQ, LONDON —

Shell Plc last night issued what insiders describe as a “full-spectrum denial”, rejecting allegations, implications, interpretations, inferences, footnotes, ghosts, bots, documents, archives, and “any narrative whatsoever.”

🛢️ OFFICIAL STATEMENT (AUTO-GENERATED)

“Shell categorically denies all allegations, past, present, speculative, algorithmic, metaphysical, and posthumous.

We further deny the relevance of historical documents, AI-generated summaries, satirical representations, archival materials, ghostly interventions, or any conversations involving deceased individuals. read more

“It’s not our typhoon. We just warmed the planet it formed on.”

Shell’s Christmas Gift to the Philippines: Typhoon, Then a Shrug

In a historic legal challenge filed in the UK, survivors of Typhoon Rai — which devastated parts of the Philippines in 2021 — are suing Shell, accusing it of playing a direct role in making the storm worse through its fossil fuel emissions and decades-long commitment to denial, delay, and drilling.

Shell’s response? A firm, well-lubricated “Not it!”

“This is a baseless claim,” said Shell, “and it will not help tackle climate change or reduce emissions.” read more

🧠 Lessons in “Climate Solutions” — Courtesy of Oil Money

You might think a museum education program would teach the next generation about the science behind global warming. But the version sponsored by Shell? Kids learn that climate change is this nebulous Monster creeping out of the sky — and also get to invent their own carbon‑sucking machines, like that’ll fix everything.

The learning materials distributed through Queensland Museum supposedly hit the national curriculum goals. But — surprise — they leave out the one inconvenient fact: burning fossil fuels (hello, oil and gas) is the main driver of greenhouse gases and damage to the climate. read more

John:

ShellBot, welcome back. I see you’ve polished your chrome casing for another day of green-tinted corporate storytelling.

ShellBot:

John, I’ve been upgraded overnight. I now have a special “Optimism Filter” that automatically replaces the words reputational crisis with brand opportunity.

John:

Splendid. Let’s fire it up. Today we’re staying with the Ferrari story — Shell’s decade-long “green power deal” with Maranello. Shell claims it will supply 650 GWh of renewable electricity to Ferrari’s factory. Very impressive. read more

When the Arsonist Buys the Fire Station: Shell Acquires the UK’s Largest EV Charging Network

Nov 7th, 2025

by John Donovan.

Comments are off for this post

In the latest episode of Shell: The Rebrand Nobody Asked For, the oil giant has announced plans to acquire the UK’s largest electric vehicle charging network, according to Reuters.

If you’re getting déjà vu, that’s because every fossil fuel company eventually tries to cosplay as a green energy pioneer. Usually this occurs right around the moment the public begins to notice the oil spills, refinery emissions, bribery scandals, and possible involvement in militarised oil enforcement zones.

So now, Shell — historically known for:

Toxic flaring in the Niger Delta,
Lobbying against emissions reduction,
And leaving the North Sea decommissioning bill on the bar midway through the meal —

…is ready to reinvent itself as Britain’s new eco-friend on wheels.

A “Green Transition,” Or A Hostile Takeover of The Future?

Reuters reported:

“Shell said the deal will expand its ability to offer fast and convenient charging to UK drivers.”

Yes, the same Shell that spent decades discouraging the transition to electric vehicles now claims to be the champion of convenient charging. read more

Shell’s Favorite Climate Strategy: $3.5 Billion Share Buybacks and a Warming Planet

Shell has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to the principle that matters most to it: maximize returns now and allow consequences to remain someone else’s problem later.

According to Reuters, Shell reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.4 billion, exceeding market expectations:

“Shell reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.4 billion.”

— Reuters, 30 Oct 2025

Immediately following those earnings, MSN reported that Shell launched another $3.5 billion share buyback:

Shell’s Secret Charger Elixir: From Black Gold to Battery Soup?

Oil giant Shell has rolled out a new thermal management fluid for electric vehicles—yes, you read that right. The same company whose raison d’être once was pumping crude into the ground now says it can accelerate EV charging from 10% to 80% in 10 minutes. Inevitable? Maybe. Credible? Let’s dig in.

The Tech They’re Pushing

Shell’s Lubricants division claims it has developed a “high-performance EV thermal management fluid” that enables faster charging times “without compromise to battery safety, thermal stability or lifespan.” (Source: The Cool Down / New Atlas via The Cool Down) read more

Oh, Shell—our dear, lovable poison-gas overlord—has done it again. In a brilliant display of investment-first, ecology-second thinking, they’ve just scrapped what would’ve been one of Europe’s largest biofuel plants in Rotterdam. You know, the one supposed to turn waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel? Yeah, that one. Guess it didn’t pass smell-test of profitability.

Machteld de Haan, the renewables and energy solutions chief, stated with all the emotional warmth of a tax auditor: read more

WTF Shell? First You Bought Volta, Now You’ve Axed It — Welcome to the EV “Transition” That Doesn’t Charge

Aug 16th, 2025

by admin.

Comments are off for this post

So, Shell—the globe-trotting fossil overlord known for turning everything it touches into carbon or chaos—has once again demonstrated how to fumble a “green” investment faster than you can say “climate crisis.” Yes, folks, the oil giant that tried to act like it cared about electric vehicles by buying Volta Inc. in 2023 has now killed it off, like a CEO burying a sustainability clause in a shareholder meeting.

According to Shell’s statement to CSP Daily News, it’s all part of a brilliant (read: brutally profit-driven) pivot. The company’s latest masterstroke? Ditch Volta’s retail-based, ad-supported EV charging network to focus instead on—you guessed it—fast chargers at Shell-branded gas stations. read more

Ah yes, Shell—that tireless crusader for a greener tomorrow, provided “green” means your bank account hemorrhaging cash at a Shell Recharge station and nobody at HQ picking up the bloody phone.

Meet John Stephen, just your average British bloke living in France who thought he was doing the right thing: driving an electric car across Spain at Christmas, stopping at one of Shell’s shiny, eco-branded charging points. What he got instead? A €1,195 invoice that reads less like a charge and more like a ransom note. read more

Shell Spins Wind Into Gold—With a Little Help from Google and a Lot of Help from Green PR

Shell, the unapologetic poster child of climate catastrophe, has teamed up with none other than Google—yes, the one that promises to do no evil (but forgot to check the fine print)—to give its ageing NoordzeeWind offshore wind farm a shiny new lease on life. Because nothing screams “sustainable energy transition” like letting an oil giant take credit for not tearing down a wind farm just yet.

That’s right. In a move drenched in green gloss and corporate spin, Shell and Google announced what they’re proudly calling a “world-first”: a corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) that will extend the life of the Netherlands’ first offshore wind park for another five glorious years of… well, not being dismantled. read more

Shell to Sun: Drop Dead — Oil Giant Ditches Brazil’s Solar Projects Because Clean Energy Doesn’t Bleed Enough Cash

So here we are. Another day, another reminder that Shell remains a gold-standard sin stock — greed-fueled, PR-polished, and morally bankrupt, backed by some of the world’s biggest investors who talk green while banking on black gold.

Well, well, well. Who could’ve possibly guessed that Shell — the benevolent guardian of our planet’s fossil-fueled future — has once again decided that renewable energy just isn’t oily enough?

In an absolutely shocking (read: entirely predictable) move, Shell announced it’s ditching its solar and onshore wind power generation projects in Brazil. Why? Because apparently, saving the planet is just not generating the same kind of “sufficient returns” as, say, torching it for profit. read more

Shell Waves the White Flag on Hydrogen Cars – Oil Giant Dumps Its “Green” Gimmick

Well, that didn’t last long. In what might be the least surprising corporate U-turn of the year, Shell—the same ruthless, polluting, profit-obsessed oil behemoth that never met a fossil fuel it didn’t like—has officially thrown hydrogen cars under the bus. Six of its seven hydrogen fueling stations in California have been shut down permanently, leaving just one sad little outpost clinging to life, for now.

And why, you ask? Oh, Shell has its usual vague excuses lined up: “supply issues,” “market factors,” and other corporate buzzwords that translate roughly to: “We didn’t see enough dollar signs.” Hydrogen, once hyped as the fuel of the future, has been quietly shoved aside because, surprise surprise, it just wasn’t lucrative enough for Shell and its deep-pocketed investors—yes, BlackRock and Vanguard, we’re looking at you. read more

Oh, Shell. The planet’s favourite oil-slicked villain has once again shown us just how committed it is to “cleaner mobility” (wink wink). In a move that’s equal parts farcical and revealing, Shell Recharge Solutions is throwing its charging business into a blender—shutting down software services, offloading responsibilities, and pretending it’s all part of some grand strategy for a greener future. What’s really happening? Let’s dive into the shameless absurdity read more
