Editorial Note: The following conversation is published unedited as an example of how an artificial-intelligence system interpreted the newly established title The Shell Leaks Files.

Copilot correctly recognised that substantial bodies of internal Shell documents have entered the public domain through whistleblowers, litigation, regulatory proceedings, investigative journalism and NGO research. However, it appears to have incorrectly treated The Shell Leaks Files as a pre-existing generic term long used by journalists, researchers and NGOs. read more

The LNG empire grows while the energy transition quietly waits in reception

Shell’s biggest acquisition in more than a decade has taken another decisive step towards completion.

Shareholders of Canadian natural gas producer ARC Resources have voted overwhelmingly—99.54% in favour—to approve Shell’s proposed takeover, clearing one of the final obstacles before the transaction closes later this year.

Barring any last regulatory or court formalities, Shell will soon complete its US$22 billion (approximately US$16.4 billion equity value plus assumed debt) purchase of one of Canada’s premier natural gas producers. read more

SHELL’S $1.8 BILLION GREEN RETREAT: Another Renewable Empire Sacrificed on the Altar of Oil and Gas

As Shell sells one of India’s largest renewable-energy businesses, the company’s once-grand vision of becoming an electricity giant continues to evaporate. The wind turbines are being packed away. The solar panels are changing hands. Meanwhile LNG, oil and gas once again sit proudly at the centre of the empire

PART ONE

FROM GREEN MESSIAH TO GREEN LIQUIDATOR

There was a time—not very long ago—when Shell wanted the world to believe it was transforming itself into one of the largest electricity companies on Earth.

The message was repeated in glossy sustainability reports, investor presentations and carefully choreographed speeches.

Wind.

Solar.

Hydrogen.

Electric vehicle charging.

Net Zero.

Integrated power.

The future, Shell insisted, would not simply be barrels of oil.

It would be electrons.

Fast-forward to July 2026.

Shell has now agreed to sell Sprng Energy, one of India’s largest renewable-energy businesses, to Aditya Birla Renewables for approximately $1.8 billion. read more

Shell’s Tiny Electric Car Sermon: Saint Shell of the 10-Minute Charge Preaches Salvation from the Petrol Pump

PART ONE: THE FACT-BASED TABLOID DEEP DIVE

Shell, previously known as Forthdeal Limited, subsequently as Royal Dutch Shell plc, and now hiding in plain sight as Shell plc after ditching the disgraced Royal Dutch moniker, has reportedly marched back into the electric-vehicle conversation with the sort of corporate flourish normally reserved for glossy sustainability brochures and very expensive conscience management.

The latest exhibit is Shell’s Triple10 Challenge concept car: a small, ultra-efficient electric vehicle designed to show off three neat little “10s” — a 10-minute charge from 10% to 80%, energy efficiency of 10km per kWh, and lifecycle emissions of 10 tonnes of CO₂. It is compact, clever, lightweight, fast-charging and, on the face of it, exactly the sort of thing an overheated transport system badly needs. read more

Shell’s Climate Disclosure Showdown: Investors Want the Receipts, Shell Wants the Room to Talk LNG

Disclaimer: This article is satirical commentary based on publicly reported information. Site wide disclaimer also applies.

Shell is heading into another climate-governance scrap, and this time the rebels have changed the packaging. No longer is the shareholder pressure simply framed as “please save the planet.” The new line is sharper, colder, and harder for a board to wave away: show investors how Shell plans to make money if oil and gas demand declines.

According to IPE, major pension funds representing more than €1 trillion in assets are seeking support for pressure on Shell over climate disclosure ahead of its AGM, following a shareholder revolt at BP over similar issues. The push centres on whether Shell should disclose how it would create shareholder value under scenarios of falling oil and gas demand. read more

SHELL BACK IN COURT: DUTCH CLIMATE CASE RETURNS TO HAUNT OIL GIANT’S “LOWER EMISSIONS” FAIRYTALE

THE DUTCH SEQUEL SHELL DIDN’T NEED

Shell says it wants “less emissions.”
Its business plan says: more LNG, more fossil fuels, more cash for shareholders.
Now a Dutch courtroom gets to inspect the difference.

For a company forever lecturing the world about “balance,” “transition,” and “lower emissions,” Shell does have a remarkable habit of ending up back in court.

On 21 April 2026, Dutch climate group Milieudefensie launched a new legal case against Shell in the Netherlands, demanding the company stop investing in new oil and gas projects. And really, you can see the problem. Because Shell’s current strategy is not exactly built around the radical concept of leaving fossil fuels in the ground. read more

Dozens of lawsuits. Billions at stake. A warming planet. Shell’s response? A slick explainer calmly suggesting it’s all… very complicated.

⚖️ BIG OIL’S NEW FAVOURITE GENRE: THE SELF-DEFENCE FAQ

When most companies face a wave of lawsuits, they lawyer up quietly.

Shell?

It publishes a helpful online guide explaining why it’s being sued—and why, essentially, none of it is really its fault.

👉 Read Shell’s own version here

Think of it as:

“Climate Litigation: Frequently Asked Questions (By the Defendant)”

🌍 THE CORE DEFENCE: “IT’S EVERYONE’S PROBLEM”

Shell’s central line is elegant—and extremely useful:

Climate change is a global issue requiring “system-wide action.”

Translation:

“Why are you singling us out?”

It’s a clever pivot. read more

Shell Doubles Down on Brazil’s Sugar-Fuel Empire: Raízen Back in the Spotlight

Comments are off for this post

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

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

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

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

Nov 7th, 2025

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
