This enhanced collaboration follows a year of continuous, high-quality supply to Shell鈥檚 chemical plant in Norco, Louisiana, USA, where it has been used in the liquid cracker to make chemicals that are the raw materials for everyday items. The new agreement builds on that success and on a common desire to find solutions to plastic waste pollution and progressing a low-carbon future. It is a next step towards Shell鈥檚 ambitionto use one million tonnes of plastic waste a year in its global chemical plants by 2025.

Jeff Gold, Nexus Chief Executive Officer, said鈥淲e appreciate Shell鈥檚 support of Nexus to convert waste plastics to virgin-molecule feedstocks and back into chemical products. Their teams have been great partners and share our philosophy and vision for improving our environment.鈥�

Thomas Casparie, Executive Vice President of Shell鈥檚 global chemicals business, said 鈥淩eal-world, in-plant testing and application is key to proving technologies and scaling up production of chemicals from plastic waste. This new supply agreement with Nexus is built on that solid foundation and is a positive step towards providing our customers with bigger volumes of sustainable, circular chemicals.鈥�

The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities. In this release 鈥淪hell鈥�, 鈥淪hell Group鈥� and 鈥淩oyal Dutch Shell鈥� are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words 鈥渨e鈥�, 鈥渦s鈥� and 鈥渙ur鈥� are also used to refer to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These terms are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or entities. 鈥樷�楽ubsidiaries鈥欌��, 鈥淪hell subsidiaries鈥� and 鈥淪hell companies鈥� as used in this release refer to entities over which Royal Dutch Shell plc either directly or indirectly has control. Entities and unincorporated arrangements over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as 鈥渏oint ventures鈥� and 鈥渏oint operations鈥�, respectively. Entities over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint control are referred to as 鈥渁ssociates鈥�. The term 鈥淪hell interest鈥� is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement, after exclusion of all third-party interest.

This release contains data and analysis from Shell鈥檚 Sky scenario. Unlike Shell鈥檚 previously published Mountains and Oceans exploratory scenarios, the Sky scenario is based on the assumption that society reaches the Paris Agreement鈥檚 goal of holding the rise in global average temperatures this century to well below two degrees Celsius (2掳C) above pre-industrial levels. Unlike Shell鈥檚 Mountains and Oceans scenarios, which unfolded in an open-ended way based upon plausible assumptions and quantifications, the Sky scenario was specifically designed to reach the Paris Agreement鈥檚 goal in a technically possible manner. These scenarios are a part of an ongoing process used in Shell for over 40 years to challenge executives鈥� perspectives on the future business environment. They are designed to stretch management to consider even events that may only be remotely possible. Scenarios, therefore, are not intended to be predictions of likely future events or outcomes.

Additionally, it is important to note that as of July 7, 2020, Shell鈥檚 operating plans and budgets do not reflect Shell鈥檚 Net-Zero Emissions ambition. Shell鈥檚 aim is that, in the future, its operating plans and budgets will change to reflect this movement towards its new Net-Zero Emissions ambition. However, these plans and budgets need to be in step with the movement towards a Net-Zero Emissions economy within society and among Shell鈥檚 customers.
