The building blocks of a lower-carbon energy system

Shell Energy is Shell’s renewables and energy solutions business in Australia. We are using our global reach, technological capability, operational experience and market expertise to be at the leading edge of the energy transition.

We are strategically investing in new technologies and projects that will contribute to a lower-carbon energy system and help us progress towards our own ambition of being a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050. Collaboration and partnerships play an important role in shaping our portfolio.

Australia is a priority market for Shell’s global investment due to its strong growth in renewables and customer demand for a reliable, flexible and cost-effective pathway to a lower-emission energy system.

Select Carbon

Shell made its first acquisition of a carbon farming company globally when it acquired Australia’s Select Carbon. Select Carbon will help us advance our own net-zero emissions vision while also giving our customers an opportunity to offset the emissions generated when using Shell products, such as through carbon credits.

Select Carbon has experience in developing, monitoring and reporting on a broad range of carbon sequestration projects that are currently participating in the Australian Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund and other carbon offset markets. These projects encompass millions of hectares, Australia-wide.
