Our Strategy: Powering Progress
Powering Progress sets out our strategy to accelerate the transition of our business to net-zero emissions. It is designed to create value for our shareholders, customers and wider society. Powering Progress has four main goals in support of our purpose, to power progress together by providing more and cleaner energy solutions. It is underpinned by our core values and focus on safety. Our four main goals are:

Generating shareholder value
Powering Progress generates value for our shareholders. It provides the financial strength to transform our company as the world makes the transition to cleaner energy

Achieving net-zero emissions
Powering Progress focuses on working with our customers and across sectors to accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions. A net-zero world is where society stops adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Powering lives
Powering Progress means powering lives and livelihoods through our products and activities, and by supporting an inclusive society.

Respecting nature
Powering Progress also means respecting nature by protecting the environment, reducing waste and making a positive contribution to biodiversity.
Powering Progress is underpinned by our core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people and our focus on safety. This includes our commitment to doing business in an ethical and transparent way.

What are our sustainable initiatives?

Emission Reduction Targets and Approaches:

• Shell aims for net-zero emissions by 2050.
• Strategies include portfolio changes, decommissioning old plants, improving energy efficiency, transitioning refineries into low-carbon energy and chemicals parks, increasing renewable electricity usage, and developing carbon capture and storage (CCS).
• Despite divestment in 2022, new investments may increase Shell’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions between 2023-2030. However, the net carbon intensity of the products sold will decrease.

Holland Hydrogen 1:

• Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen plant, operational by 2025.
• Located in Rotterdam, it’ll produce up to 60,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen daily.
• The hydrogen will replace some grey hydrogen usage in refineries, helping to decarbonize energy products and potentially commercial road transport.

HEFA Project:

• Among Europe’s largest biofuels facilities, producing 820,000 tonnes/year of Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Renewable Diesel from waste, operational by 2024.
• It could reduce CO2 emissions equivalent to removing over 1 million European cars from roads.
