{"text": "<p>We plan to deliver 700,000 tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub>e offset annually, covering all stages of the life cycle of the key lubricants brands in our portfolio and this represents a key milestone in our ongoing commitment to deliver on two key, strategic initiatives:</p>\n<h3><b>1. Reducing the CO<sub>2</sub>e intensity of our products</b></h3>\n<p>This is achieved through:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Avoiding emissions, by:</b><ul>\n<li><b>Embedding circular economy thinking at the heart of our business<br>\n </b>Shell will use more recycled content in our plastic bottles. In Europe, we are working on plans to technically prove the use of recycled resin in our bottles, and in the US we are testing higher loads, which we plan to be above the existing 25% recycled resin content required by current legislation. We are also moving some of our larger plastic packaging, for example pails, to contain recycled resin.</li>\n<li><b>Designing products with reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) and less packaging<br>\n </b>We are exploring different packaging concepts that are more sustainable (i.e. different materials or different supply chain models). For example, Ecobox, used in the US and China is an alternative to traditional plastic packaging for motor oil for light-duty vehicles, which can reduce plastic usage in the packaging by more than 80% and CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions by more than 60%<sup>5</sup>.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li><b>Reducing emissions, by:</b><ul>\n<li><b>Improving the energy efficiency of our facilities</b><br>\nWe have reduced our carbon intensity in our operations by over 30% since 2016<sup>6</sup>.<br>\nEnergy monitoring systems (EMS) and LED lighting have been installed at all our facilities which allow us to improve the energy efficiency of our sites. For example, the EMS pilot at the Tianjin plant helped to achieve an 8.5% reduction in electricity use between 2017 to 2018.</li>\n<li><b>Increasing our use of renewable energy</b><br>\nOver 50% of electricity used in our Shell Lubricant Blending Plants now comes from renewable sources, including renewable electricity contracts and we plan to increase this amount through expansion of solar installations in the rest of our Shell facilities. Combined, these panels generate more than 7,500 MWh of electricity annually, and can result in the avoidance of GHG emissions of approximately 4,500 tonnes on a CO<sub>2</sub>e basis per year.</li>\n<li><b>Reducing the CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions of our supply chain</b><br>\nShell has implemented LNG trucks for some routes, which have a lower CO<sub>2</sub>e impact than traditional trucks, while optimised networks help reduce road transport by over a million miles and low viscosity synthetic lubricants reduce fuel consumption.<br>\n&nbsp;</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li><b>Offsetting emissions, by</b><ul>\n<li><b>Compensating for CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions from the life cycle of our products.<br>\n </b>Life cycle of lubricants covers: the raw material extraction, transport, production, distribution, usage and end-of-life.</li>\n<li><b>Using globally diverse, externally verified, and high-quality, nature-based carbon credits.</b><br>\nEach carbon credit represents the avoidance or removal of GHG equivalent to one tonne of CO<sub>2</sub>e.</li>\n<li><b>Protecting and restoring natural ecosystems.</b><br>\nShell Lubricants support internationally accredited, carbon offsetting projects such as the Katingan Mentaya project in Indonesia or the Qinghai Afforestation Project in China. They naturally remove CO<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;from the atmosphere every year while also improving biodiversity, protecting endangered species and supporting local communities.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3><b>2. Helping customers to manage their sustainability needs</b></h3>\n<p>This is achieved through providing high-quality products and leading-edge technology that can:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce friction, wear and tear</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Extend the life of engines and machinery</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Increase fuel economy, oil-drain interval and energy efficiency</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce the amount of resources required, waste produced, and emissions emitted.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Low viscosity lubricants can increase fuel economy by up to 3%<sup>7</sup>&nbsp;and increase energy efficiency in industrial applications by up to 4%<sup>8</sup>, while many of our industrial lubricants deliver significant ODI benefits such as reduced maintenance needs and fewer parts replacement. For example, Shell Mysella S7 N, our latest generation natural gas engine oil, more than doubles the previous industry typical oil drain for gas engine oils.</p>\n<p>As we all move towards a lower-carbon future, combining these two aims will help to provide customers across the globe with more and cleaner energy solutions. And this is sustainability without compromise, as Shell Lubricants is dedicated to enabling customers to retain the best in operational performance while contributing to lower emissions, less waste and fewer natural resource usage.</p>\n<p><sup>1</sup>&nbsp;CO<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;compensation is not a substitute for switching to lower emission energy solutions or reducing the use of fossil fuels.

When developing Shell\u2019s strategy, our scenarios are one of many variables that we consider. Ultimately, whether society meets its goals to decarbonise is not within Shell\u2019s control. While we intend to travel this journey in step with society, only governments can create the framework for success. The Sky 1.5 scenario starts with data from Shell\u2019s Sky scenario, but there are important updates. First, the outlook uses the most recent modelling for the impact and recovery from COVID-19 consistent with a Sky 1.5 scenario narrative. Second, it blends this projection into existing Sky (2018) energy system data by around 2030. Third, the extensive scale-up of nature-based solutions is brought into the core scenario, which benefits from extensive new modelling of that scale-up. (In 2018, nature-based solutions required to achieve 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century were analysed as a sensitivity to Sky. This analysis was also reviewed and included in the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5\u00b0C (SR15).) Fourth, our new oil and natural gas supply modelling, with an outlook consistent with the Sky 1.5 narrative and demand, is presented for the first time. Fifth, the Sky 1.5 scenario draws on the latest historical data and estimates to 2020 from various sources, particularly the extensive International Energy Agency energy statistics. As with Sky, this scenario assumes that society achieves the 1.5\u00b0C stretch goal of the Paris Agreement. It is rooted in stretching but realistic development dynamics today but explores a goal-oriented way to achieve that ambition. We worked back in designing how this could occur, considering the realities of the situation today and taking into account realistic timescales for change. Of course, there is a range of possible paths in detail that society could take to achieve this goal. Although achieving the goal of the Paris Agreement and the future depicted in Sky 1.5 while maintaining a growing global economy will be extremely challenging, today it is still a technically possible path. However, we believe the window for success is quickly closing.</p>\r\n", "links": [{"name": "FULL CAUTIONARY NOTE (PPTX, 7 MB)", "value": "business/mobility/lubricants-and-engine-oils/delivering-carbon-neutral-solutions-to-our-customers/jcr_content/root/main/section/text_800493790/links/item0.stream/1716478310571/a50c1ebe20fb657569a8a8576636226a3f0fb969/carbon-neutral-disclaimer.pptx"}]}}, {"organism": "PromoSimple.Text", "color": "inherited", "id": "/content/shell/countries/india/en_in/business/mobility/lubricants-and-engine-oils/delivering-carbon-neutral-solutions-to-our-customers/jcr_content/root/main/section/text_493339693", "model": {"text": "<p>Additionally, it is important to note that as of 23<sup>rd</sup>&nbsp;February 2021, Shell\u2019s operating plans and budgets do not reflect Shell\u2019s Net-Zero Emissions ambition.
