CO2e emissions

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

Shell has set a target to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2050. Two key strategic initiatives are driving this commitment:

1. Reducing the CO₂ intensity of Shell oils

Emission Prevention

• Using packaging with a higher proportion of recycled materials 
• Reducing the amount of material in packaging (EcoPack)

Reducing emissions

• Improving energy efficiency in own operations 
• Increasing the use of renewable energies
• Optimisation of transport routes

Emission compensation

• Offsetting CO₂e emissions from the product life cycle (from raw material extraction, through transportation, production, distribution, use and end-of-life) 
• Use of globally diversified, externally verified and high quality carbon credits 
• Support internationally accredited projects on natural carbon offsetting in the atmosphere  
  
  

2. Improving the management of sustainability requirements using cutting-edge technologies

• Reducing friction and wear 
• Extending the life of engines and machines 
• Reducing fuel consumption 
• Extension of oil change intervals 
• Increased energy efficiency

HOW CAN YOU REDUCE YOUR EMISSIONS CO₂ TOGETHER WITH SHELL LUBRICANTS?

• Choosing quality oils to extend the life of engines and machines 
• By using oils that increase the efficiency of engines and machines and thus reduce energy consumption 
• Reducing the amount of packaging (EcoPack, buying larger packages) 
• By choosing carbon neutral oils with the CARBON NEUTRAL label
