Shell likely to miss own emission reduction goals, shareholder group says

  • Royal Dutch Royal Dutch Shell ( Royal Dutch Shell A .A, Royal Dutch Shell A .B) is on track to miss its own emission reduction targets in the coming decades, according to a new analysis by Global Climate Insights.
  • Royal Dutch Shell 's energy transition strategy "is still materially driven by fuels that will increase emissions, producing a growth strategy that will not truly align with a decarbonizing world," the study says, as reported by Bloomberg.
  • The research casts doubt on Royal Dutch Shell 's own climate goals as well as its ability to comply with a landmark Dutch court order earlier this year to cut emissions 45% by 2030 from 2019 levels.
  • Royal Dutch Shell already had pledged to cut GHG emissions by 20% by 2030 and to net-zero by 2050, but GCI says the company will not meet the target established by the court ruling "and will instead increase net emissions by 4.4%."
  • If Royal Dutch Shell is to align with the 2015 Paris Agreement's goals of keeping global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius, it needs to pursue growth beyond gas more aggressively, according to the report.

    For this year the company, located in Den Haag revenue will be around 279.06 billion euros. This is according to the average of the analysts' estimates. This is hugely more than 2021's revenue of 180.54 billion euros.
