About us

Shell is one of the largest global participants in the market for environmental products, carbon credits and carbon trading. We’ve been active since 2003, when the first emissions trading scheme was set up in Europe, and have grown significantly to become a global presence in both the regulated and voluntary carbon markets. Environmental regulated markets are a mechanism through which companies can comply with environmental regulations and manage their net-carbon emissions. The voluntary carbon market and Voluntary Emission Reductions (carbon credits) provide a mechanism for investing in projects that contribute to limiting the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is done by either removing greenhouse gas emissions or avoiding an emission that would otherwise have occurred. We believe that high-quality carbon credits are an essential complement to avoiding and reducing emissions, enabling businesses and organisations to compensate for emissions as they develop and implement lower-carbon solutions. With our scale, flexibility, and expertise we can provide customers confidence that they are supporting the right projects to meet their climate goals.

  • Trees naturally sequester carbon as they grow by absorbing CO₂ and storing it in their biomass – in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots. But how much carbon dioxide can one tree store?  A note to our followers: You can now find us on the Shell Low Carbon Solutions LinkedIn page.

    You probably know that trees can store carbon dioxide, but do you know how much carbon dioxide one tree can store? 🌳 The answer depends on many factors, but it’s probably more than you think. #CarbonCredits #PoweringProgress

  • Carbon credits can complement our activities to avoid and reduce emissions. Not all technologies and energy services can be swapped out for non-emitting alternatives at the necessary pace. In some sectors, practical alternatives have yet to be developed. And for some businesses, avoiding and reducing emissions will not be enough to reach net zero, or an emissions trajectory consistent with the Paris Agreement. Carbon credits can help close the gap.

    What is a carbon credit? Carbon credits are generated by projects that reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and each credit represents the avoidance or removal of one tonne of carbon.   At Shell, we work with businesses around the world who are on their decarbonisation journeys. Carbon credits are only part of the story, but they can be a useful tool for offsetting emissions that can’t yet be avoided or reduced.

  • Earlier this week, our General Manager Global Environmental Products Trading Nick Osborne met with other senior leaders at the GBTA | Global Business Travel Association Convention, sharing experiences and strategies to help decarbonise the business travel sector.     During an educational session, Nick highlighted the importance of avoiding and reducing carbon output as a priority, with compensation key to short-term goals while other solutions are scaled; remaining diligent through the continuous assessment of carbon credit projects to ensure they remain effective and impactful; and why collaboration and investment is needed to scale emerging solutions.     We hope everyone who joined Nick found the discussion valuable. Look out for upcoming webinars where we will take a deeper dive into the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors. A note to our followers: commencing September, you can find us on the Shell Low Carbon Solutions LinkedIn page. Be sure to follow us there for an even wider array of information and updates related to decarbonisation initiatives and low carbon solutions. We look forward to staying connected with you there.     #SustainableAviation #PoweringProgress #GBTA2024

    Nick Osborne, Shell's General Manager, Global Environmental Products Trading, had the opportunity to meet with attendees at the GBTA | Global Business Travel Association Convention, sharing experiences and strategies to help decarbonise the business travel sector.      Here are three takeaways for hard-to-abate sectors:    1. Avoid, Reduce - then Compensate: decarbonisation strategies should focus on avoiding and reducing your carbon output as a priority. Consider a multifaceted approach, with compensation key to short-term goals while other solutions are scaled.     2. Remain diligent: assessing the long-term effectiveness of carbon credit projects is vital if you want them to remain impactful.     3. Collaboration and investment is needed to scale emerging solutions: collaborative efforts have the potential to drive more efficient resource utilisation. Working together with customers, suppliers and other industry stakeholders can be key to developing sector-specific decarbonisation strategies.   We hope everyone who joined Nick found the discussion valuable. Look out for upcoming webinars where we will take a deeper dive into the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors.     #CarbonCredits #Decarbonisation #EnvironmentalImpact #GBTA2024
