Accelerating Decarbonisation in a Changing World
Shell is enabling shipping decarbonisation by offering scalable low-carbon solutions which can impact today, build for tomorrow and prepare for the future.
Why Decarbonise Shipping?
Shipping moves 90% of the world’s trade¹ yet the sector must urgently reduce its carbon footprint to comply with global decarbonisation regulations. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) aims for a 40% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030. Achieving these goals requires industry-wide collaboration and innovation.
Shell Marine is committed to supporting this transformation through practical solutions. Our focus is on alternative fuels like LNG, bio-LNG, and biodiesel, which offer pathways to decarbonisation. Our sectoral approach is to Avoid, Reduce, Compensate — avoiding unnecessary energy use by increasing technical and operational efficiency, reducing emissions with low-carbon fuels, and using carbon compensation where needed to achieve net-zero targets.

Decarbonisation: A deep-dive
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set ambitious targets to reduce the carbon intensity of shipping emissions by at least 40% by 2030. Achieving these goals necessitates a unified industry-wide effort and extensive cross-sector collaboration.
This is a pivotal moment to reshape the future of shipping with practical, scalable solutions that can drive decarbonisation. Shell is taking the initiative by leveraging its experience in low-carbon fuels like LNG and biofuels.
Huibert Vigeveno, Downstream Director of Shell"We know that shipping is one of the harder sectors to decarbonise, which is why we are working with our customers and the wider industry to identify possible solutions. The ‘All Hands on Deck 2.0’ report shows the urgent effort required by industry to reduce carbon emissions. It stems from Shell’s own ambition to be a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 or sooner. To achieve that, we need to work with our customers."
