Shell promises to accelerate shift to low carbon
The oil giant Shell will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions more quickly than planned following a legal ruling in the Netherlands, its chief executive has promised in a blog post.
The firm would take “some bold but measured steps,” Ben van Beurden wrote.
Environmentalists won a court case in May, arguing Shell was failing to reduce emissions quickly enough.
Mr van Beurden said Shell would appeal against the ruling, but meanwhile he would look at hastening the transition.
