Wael Sawan, Chief Executive Officer鈥淲e are growing shareholder returns, while working to reduce emissions from our operations and products. We are positioning Shell to win through the energy transition on our journey to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050.鈥�
We will deliver more value with less emissions by:
Growing our integrated gas and LNG business
We are investing in our gas production and growing our liquefied natural gas (LNG) business to deliver the secure energy the world needs. LNG is a critical fuel for the energy transition because it is a lower-carbon alternative to coal in power generation and can be easily transported to where it is needed. We aim to reinforce our leadership position in LNG by growing sales by 4-5% a year on average through to 2030.
Sustaining liquids production
We aim to grow production across our combined Upstream and Integrated Gas business by 1% a year to 2030, sustaining material liquids production of 1.4 million barrels a day through to 2030 with increasingly lower carbon intensity. We are focusing our exploration activities in locations where hydrocarbons have already been discovered.
Focusing Downstream, Renewables and Energy Solutions
We are driving cash flow resilience and higher returns through disciplined capital allocation. We are pursuing focused growth in our premium marketing and mobility businesses while streamlining our chemicals portfolio to unlock more value.
We are also building on the lower-carbon platforms we have invested in to enable growth through the energy transition, as customer demand and regulatory frameworks evolve. Our global customer reach and our supply and trading capabilities position us well to deliver the low-carbon solutions people and businesses need.
