Shell Low Carbon Solutions

We’re excited to announce an important milestone for Shell Aviation’s Avelia, expansion to Denmark with DCC & Shell Aviation Denmark A/S. Avelia is a blockchain-powered book and claim solution that opens access to the environmental benefits of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to customers across the aviation value chain, helping them contribute to decarbonising air travel by accelerating the adoption of SAF.    Industry collaboration is critical to scaling the availability of low-carbon solutions such as SAF. Combining the regional expertise and customer bases of DCC & Shell Aviation Denmark with the benefits of a global SAF solution like Avelia has the potential to make SAF more accessible to a broader range of businesses.   To learn more about Avelia, visit: www.aveliasolutions.com   Cautionary note: https://lnkd.in/gi_wDYdR   #Decarbonisation #Aviation #SAF #Avelia  

We are pleased to share that our Executive Vice President, Anna Mascolo has been appointed to the Board of Directors at Raízen. Raizen is a Brazilian energy company, formed as a joint venture between Shell plc and Cosan in 2011. Raizen is a vertically integrated energy company, operating across sugarcane cultivation, ethanol production, distribution of fuels and lubricants across Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, as well as investment in renewable energy solutions. With its unique blend of traditional downstream supply, distribution, retail, and B2B channels, combined with agri-based sugar and ethanol value chains, Raizen is well positioned to drive decarbonisation profitably and at scale. In 2023, Raizen produced 3.12 billion litres of ethanol, making it one of the world’s biggest bioethanol producers, delivering some of the lowest carbon intensity biofuels available today. Raizen is also looking to expand further into the ethanol value chain with opportunities in bio-methane (RNG), SAF (alcohol-to-jet), and bio-chemicals. #BioFuels #EnergyTransition #Decarbonisation

Carbon capture and storage (#CCS) is a combination of technologies that capture and store carbon dioxide deep underground, preventing its release into the atmosphere, and it is one of the solutions that can be used to reduce emissions from sectors that are hard-to-decarbonise.   Find out more about CCS and what Shell is doing to bring this solution to our customers.    #CCS #EnergyTransition #PoweringProgress 

We’re pleased to share that Shell Aviation is joining the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Coalition. SAF is considered a critical lever in the aviation industry’s transition to net zero, and this Coalition has come together to help scale investment for SAF and advocate for the incentives and policies necessary to promote U.S. competitiveness in the emerging SAF marketplace. This collaboration of key aviation stakeholders will help accelerate the development and deployment of SAF in the U.S. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gac3SXA2   #Decarbonisation #Aviation #SAF 

Today Shell announced the Final Investment Decision (FID) for Polaris, a carbon capture project which will capture approximately 650,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from the Shell-owned Scotford refinery and chemicals complex*. Polaris will build on the success of the Shell-operated Quest carbon capture and storage facility at Scotford which has safely captured and stored more than nine million tonnes of CO2 since 2015.   Carbon capture and storage is a key technology to achieve climate goals and for Shell to become a net-zero energy business by 2050.   #PoweringProgress #CCS *Cautionary note: https://lnkd.in/gi_wDYdR

The transport and road freight sectors keep the world moving and we all rely on them every day. Their importance makes it even more vital we find ways to decarbonise these sectors. And this is where bio-LNG can play a crucial role. It can be used directly as an alternative to fossil-based LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) in LNG vehicles and offers significantly lower GHG lifecycle emissions across the well-to-wheel lifecycle of the fuel than LNG or fossil-based diesel*. To learn more about how bio-LNG is helping to decarbonise heavy-duty transport, sign up below to attend Shell Commercial Road Transport’s LinkedIn live event on July 4th. This is where executives from Scania Group, Dinotrans and Shell will discuss the role of bio-LNG in steering the sector towards a sustainable future. #BioLNG #Decarbonisation *BioLNG in Transport: https://lnkd.in/dqPrJ_cX

Excited to see policy in action at this year’s Hydrogen Council International CEO event! Shell Low Carbon Solutions EVP Anna Mascolo was a participant at the roundtable discussion, where the dialogue centred on boosting competitiveness and forging new trade partnerships, amongst other topics. Shell’s own investments in REFHYNE I in Germany and Holland Hydrogen I in the Netherlands support the build-up of the hydrogen economy, and government and policy support will further drive business confidence as we work towards a lower carbon future. #hydrogen #poweringprogress

Keeping our world running while decarbonising the energy that powers it is everybody's challenge. Watch business leaders from transport and industry, and from around the world, tell us how they are turning their ambitions into action to reduce emissions. Follow the series here (https://lnkd.in/eeMxr8xW) to discover how a collection of pioneering companies are driving their decarbonisation journeys by moving from “what” to “how” to do it. #Shell #EnergyTransition #PoweringProgress

We collaborated with Reuters Plus on an interview series about how businesses, policymakers and others involved in the energy system are moving from talking about what needs to be done to how we are going to do it.  This interview series was recently awarded Silver in the Sustainability category at The Telly Awards 2024 for branded content.

What is biomethane? Chemically, biomethane is identical to conventional natural gas. Made by processing organic waste such as food waste, agricultural residues or manure under a controlled environment known as anaerobic digestion, it is a near-pure source of methane. But there’s more worth knowing. The anaerobic digestion process used to create biomethane also produces a by-product known as digestate. This digestate is an organic material, rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, meaning that it can act as a degassed organic fertiliser. This is a valuable resource, as it can be returned to the farmers who have provided feedstocks, to use as a fertiliser on their crop land. By utilising digestate effectively, we can close the loop, minimise waste, and align with circular economy principles.
