Shell

Shell plc is a global energy and petrochemical group headquartered in London, tracing its origins to the 1907 merger of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and The "Shell" Transport and Trading Company. Its strategic framework, Powering Progress, balances disciplined capital allocation across conventional hydrocarbons with selective low-carbon solutions. The portfolio spans Integrated Gas, Upstream, Marketing, Chemicals and Products, and Renewables and Energy Solutions — anchored by a market-leading liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply and trading operation alongside deepwater assets in Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico, supported by a target to achieve net-zero operational emissions by 2050.

Key infrastructure assets include landmark energy installations such as the Prelude floating LNG facility offshore Australia and the Holland Hydrogen I plant in Rotterdam, Europe’s largest planned renewable hydrogen project. Beyond core operations, Shell invests significantly in education and innovation: its flagship global STEM initiative, the Shell Eco-marathon, challenges student engineering teams across the Americas, Europe, and Asia to design and race ultra-energy-efficient vehicles, while the Shell Foundation — an independent UK-registered charity — deploys catalytic capital to expand clean energy access, inclusive agri-tech, and sustainable transport across emerging markets in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
