Hi Alfred,

I designed an online resource guide for students called http://www.environmentalsciencedegree.com.

Would you help connect prospective students with my site by adding it to your resources page of http://royaldutchshellplc.com/category/green? read more

The sovereign’s official London residence topped a list of the environmentally-damaging buildings on the day Prince Charles arrived in Brazil to urge the world to do more to combat global warming.

BP and Shell have abandoned their investments in renewable energy in Britain, in favour of the United States.

Although BP and Shell have pulled out of the UK offshore market, others such as Masdar, the Abu Dhabi government's investment vehicle for sustainable energy, moved to fill the gap. Masdar acquired a 20 per cent stake in in the £2bn London Array offshore wind project after Shell walked away.

Now, the Houston company, a unit of Royal Dutch Shell, has mailed letters to landowners it had been negotiating with to say it is walking away from the project.

Shell's sleight of hand was to use the much-abused word "sustainability" to imply a green agenda when what it was really on about was keeping a sustainable flow of fuel out of its forecourt pumps. The ASA cried foul.

Jeroen van der Veer, the chief executive of the oil company Royal Dutch Shell, discussed emissions and biodiversity offsets with the IHT’s James Kanter.

B.P. paid millions of dollars to settle felony charges with the Justice Department over the pipeline rupture alone and remains on probation until 2010.

Shell WindEnergy has been contacting landowners in the Hill Towns about installing 50 wind turbines totaling 100 megawatts of capacity — enough to power about 25,000 homes...

The planting is part of a program to sequester more than 650,000 tonnes of CO2. In 2000 Shell made a voluntary commitment to reduce or offset greenhouse gas emissions from its oil sands business by 2010.

I'm always amazed that people think that oil companies they are just for the money and greedy and like to do a lousy job

There was a nervy response to Shell's decision this month to pull out of the giant London Array wind farm, although the company insisted it was a business decision and not down to dwindling interest in renewable energy.

Exxon faces a raft of shareholder resolutions aimed at both steering the company toward a greener future and forcing change at the top by appointing an independent chairman.

Shell co-owns a wind farm in Lamar and is involved in 11 wind projects in the U.S. and Europe.

Jeroen van der Veer, chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell, says that the proposed European Union scheme to force companies to pay for carbon emission permits — previously handed out free — threatens to destroy Europe’s petrochemical and refining industries. Mr van der Veer, whose company made a profit of $27.6 billion last year, thinks that the proposals would harm his “struggling” industry
