What SHELL is (not) doing

Simon Henry, Royal Dutch Shell’s Chief Financial Officer, describes how building a sustainable energy system will require decades of innovation and investment. Much hinges on technological expertise, rooted in in-depth research and development work and aided by well-targetted government support. Shell is using its technological knowhow to contribute to the world’s sustainable energy resources in three main ways: by raising its production of natural gas, the cleanest burning fossil fuel; by developing clean coal and carbon capture and storage technology, which will help to improve the environmental performance of coal; and by expanding its biofuels business, which will tackle CO2 emissions from the transport sector over the next twenty years and beyond.
