Shell Touts Biofuels in Brazil—Because Who Cares About Ethics When There’s More Money to Be Made?

Ah, Shell. The same company that has perfected the art of environmental destruction, employee exploitation, and moral bankruptcy now wants us all to get excited about its shiny new biofuels project in Brazil. Because, apparently, nothing says “we care about the planet” like an oil giant boasting about squeezing a few more drops of ethanol out of sugarcane while continuing to plunder the earth’s resources.

During the ROG.e conference in Rio, Shell CEO Wael Sawan proudly announced the company’s commitment to second-generation (2G) ethanol, which is made from sugarcane bagasse. According to Sawan, “the same amount of land will be able to produce 50% more ethanol.” Oh, how generous. And while they’re at it, they’ll also keep pouring money into deepwater oil and gas projects with Petrobras, because why settle for biofuels when you can still extract oil like it’s 1950? read more

Shell campaign promoting carbon offsetting is greenwashing, Dutch advertising watchdog rules

Extracts

The Netherlands’ advertising watchdog has urged Royal Dutch Shell to stop running a campaign promoting fuel purchases as ‘carbon neutral’, providing that customers purchase offsets.

The campaign in question promotes a Shell offer whereby those buying petrol and diesel can choose to pay an extra fee that will fund carbon offsetting. Shell uses carbon credits that support nature-based projects including tree planting. read more

Behind Shell’s strategy to get into green energy.

June 21, 2021, 8:07 a.m. ET

Ben van Beurden, the chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell, has been talking about the need to cut emissions since 2017. In the view of some, though, Shell has dragged its feet.

The company’s clean energy investments since 2016 add up to $3.2 billion, Stanley Reed reports for The New York Times, while it has spent about $84 billion on oil and gas exploration and development, according to estimates by Bernstein, a research firm.

“You cannot claim to be in transition when you only invest” such a small percentage of capital in new businesses, said Mark van Baal, founder of Follow This, a Dutch investor activist group. read more

Will Shell perish under the demands of the judge?

A court that imposes a CO 2 reduction on an oil company by waving human rights and climate change. This has never been seen in the world before. What are the consequences?

Ton Voermans & Peet Vogels  Last update: 27-05-21, 19:36

Can Shell meet the requirements?
That will be quite a job. The judge ordered that Shell reduce its own CO 2 emissions by 45 percent by 2030. This is an obligation and goes further than Shell’s own objective. But experts expect Shell to be able to achieve this. Society has already started using solar power in oil production. And Marjan van Loon, the CEO of Shell Netherlands, is already driving around in a hydrogen car. Others point out that Shell can still reduce methane leaks, methane is a strong greenhouse gas. And Shell can capture and store its own CO 2 emissions in empty gas fields. read more

Climate Ruling Could Force Big Change at Shell

Oil giant might need to sell assets and rethink spending to meet Dutch court order to curb carbon emission

By Sarah McFarlane: May 27, 2021 12:08 pm ET

To comply with a Dutch court order to cut carbon emissions, Royal Dutch Shell PLC may have to overhaul its business and cut its oil output faster than it had planned, analysts and investors said.

Potential ways to curb emissions include selling assets, rethinking exploration spending and halting growth of its liquefied-natural gas operations, they said. read more

The pace of emission reduction has to increase significantly at Shell, but how?

Bert van Dijk May 26, 8:58 PM

In brief

  • Shell must reduce the emissions of the judge much faster than it has now planned.
  • The company has plenty of options to do that, according to experts.
  • The major challenge lies in the obligation to make every effort to reduce emissions for customers.

… it has become clear that investing even more in exploration, looking for new oil and gas, is pointless. 

Charging points, hydrogen and biofuels

Shell itself wants to stick to the line it has set for the time being. “We are investing billions of dollars in low-carbon energy, including charging points for charging electric vehicles, hydrogen, renewables and biofuels. We want to increase the demand for these products and scale up our new energy companies even faster. ‘ read more

Shell faces Dutch court ruling on global emissions

By Ed Reed: 24 May 2021

A court in The Hague will rule on May 26 on a climate case against Shell, led by Friends of the Earth Netherlands (Milieudefensie).

The environmentalist case demands that Shell cut CO2 emissions by 45% by 2030. Success for the NGO would see the corporation ordered to “reduce its emissions in line with global climate goals”.

The outcome, it said, should “impact climate policy and corporate accountability globally”. It does not seek compensation, rather a change to Shell’s business plan. read more

Royal Dutch Shell AGM (Tuesday 18th May)

by Graeme Evans from interactive investor

17th May 2021 09:01

Shell’s energy transition strategy will go before an advisory vote of shareholders as the oil giant takes its first steps towards becoming a net-zero emissions business by 2050.

Chief executive Ben van Beurden set out the strategy in February, outlining a focus on low-carbon operations such as wind, solar, biofuels and hydrogen over the next decade.

For the foreseeable future, Shell sees upstream operations continuing to deliver the energy supplies and cash needed to accelerate the transition towards low carbon businesses. read more
