Shell Renewables develops commercial opportunities in Solar energy and Wind
energy.
Alternative
energy, such
as advanced
solar, wind,
biofuels and
hydrogen,
will be an
important
part of the
long-term
response to
climate
change and
concerns
about energy
security.
Today
they meet
less than 1%
of global
energy
demand.
We are
determined
to drive
down costs
and overcome
the other
practical
hurdles that
prevent them
becoming a
significant
part of the
world’s
energy mix.
Shell
Renewables
was
established
in 1997 and
we continue
to invest in
wind and
thin-film
solar power
with the aim
of having a
substantial
commercial
business in
at least one
alternative
energy
technology.
