Northern Lights, a CO2 transport & storage joint venture between @Equinor, @TotalEnergies & @Shell, is now ready to receive up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year to help industrial costumers across Europe decarbonise their facilities👨‍🏭🟢🇪🇺 Read more here ▶️bit.ly/4eAYJcq #CCS #IndustrialCarbonManagement #2040Target

Northern Lights is expanding capacity through commercial agreement. go.shell.com/41N71dL

"Bold policies and investments are needed to achieve #climateneutrality & boost #economicgrowth" writes Wael Sawan, CEO of Shell plc in his op-ed for @Euractiv. Three areas need to be at the core of policy action: ✅expanding electrification ✅creating business case for pioneering low-carbon solutions: #hydrogen, #ccs & #SAF ✅energy security #competetiveness #2040target Read more here 👇 bit.ly/3TvGSvo

Shell took a Final Investment Decision (FID) to progress REFHYNE II, a 100-megawatt #renewablehydrogen electrolyser at Shell Energy & Chemicals Park Rheinland in 🇩🇪. This was enabled by the EU’s legislative framework, developed over the past 5 years, and Germany's additional measures, like grid fee exemptions for electrolysers & multipliers for 🟢#hydrogen production. #REDIII #hydrogeneconomy #decarbonisingindustry #Fitfor55 Read more here: go.shell.com/3ydRxU0

Hydrogen deserves full recognition for decarbonising transport fuels through #RED implementation.   
Meanwhile renewed efforts are needed to accelerate #H2 infrastructure development and kick-start lead markets in industry & hard-to-abate transport in the 🇪🇺

Shell will continue to be at the forefront of industry efforts to drive down methane emissions, including through technical innovations that support implementation of the EU requirements. Read more here 👉 shell.com/what-we-do/oil…

The EU’s #MethaneRegulation can improve global cooperation between governments & industry to reduce #methaneemissions from the energy sector. 🇪🇺⛽️🌍 Shell’s industry leading methane targets will help our journey to become a #netzeroemissions energy business by 2050.

At Shell, we are making good progress towards net zero. Read our Energy Transition Strategy update to see how we are delivering energy for today, while building the low-carbon energy system of the future. #PoweringProgress go.shell.com/3wQiWdz

The EU 2040 #ClimateTargetPlan means systemic change for the 🇪🇺 energy system in 16yrs. Key technologies must be fully commercialised & scaled up, incl. energy storage, grid development, low-carbon fuels, CCS & removals. Read Shell’s Chief Climate Change Advisor's take on it👇

Shell looks forward to contributing to #ICMS ▶️bit.ly/496aG7B. We are investing in flagship European projects: ✅ Northern Lights🇳🇴 with TotalEnergies & Equinor expected to start operations in 2025 ✅ Aramis🇳🇱 with TotalEnergies & GasUni started early engineering in 2023

The Industrial Carbon Management Communication marks a first step towards an enabling framework for commercial investments in #CCS, #CCU & #CDR. #ICMS Key policy components in our view: ▶️Demand markets for #lowcarbonproducts to support the business case ▶️Storage to be developed in sync with transport & capture projects ▶️Effective storage in neighbouring countries to reach scale ▶️Repurposing of o&g infrastructure for CO2 transport & storage ▶️Early adoption of regulatory packages to enable timely investments

▶️Unlocking the supply of sustainable #advancedbiofuels is crucial to decarbonise hard-to-abate transport. #lowcarbonfuels ▶️Driving investment in industrial #removals & land sinks will help reach #climateneutrality. #ICMS #LULUCF Read more ▶️ bit.ly/46lZUJt

▶️Competitively decarbonising industry requires creating lead markets for low-carbon products, advancing global carbon pricing and a stronger #CBAM. #hydrogen #CCS ▶️Enabling greater investments in grid infrastructure & storage capacity will speed up #electrification. #PPA

Shell welcomes the start of dialogue on policy choices for 2040 #ClimateTargetPlan to quickly scale up all #lowcarbonsolutions. Business case for #CleanTech needs to be strengthened by leveraging #Fitfor55 incentives for pioneer projects & new measures that put competitiveness at the core of #EUGreenDeal.

Going into the holidays, we wish all of you rest and peaceful time with your family. And a safe and happy New Year 2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣🎉

Shell welcomes the newly published #ReFuelEU✈️🇪🇺 The regulation sets up a #SAF blending mandate which'll help create the market for Sustainable Aviation Fuel ➡️We look forward to a swift decision on #REDAnnexIX on sustainable biofuel feedstocks to enable the RefuelEU goals eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…

Sky2050 is a highly challenging but technically possible scenario. Find out more about it in the Shell Energy Security Scenarios▶️go.shell.com/3pzBCuV #EUGreenDeal The scenarios are intended as an aid to making better decisions. They aren't expressions of Shell’s strategy.

For transport, 66% of all passenger km in the EU would drive on electricity by 2040. Scaling up #electricvehicles use requires greater investment in charging infrastructure, incl. capacity build out, accelerated timelines for grid connection & simplified permitting. #2040targets

To achieve #netzeroemissions by 2050 deep #decarbonisation is needed by 2040. Policies should help the business case for #CleanTech investment & reward early movers in #EnergyTransition▶️ bit.ly/46lZUJt According to Sky2050, our most ambitious Energy Security Scenario⬇️
