Offsetting remaining emissions

Until avoid and reduce measures can be deployed at scale, offsetting remaining emissions of our premium products through Shell's nature-based solutions.

How we offset the remaining emissions

While avoid and reduce measures offer the best way to tackle emissions in the long term, until scalable solutions are deployed, carbon offsetting programs provide an immediate solution to reduce GHG emissions. Shell wants to offer a worldwide portfolio of carbon neutral1 lubricants for a wide variety of applications spanning both personal and commercial use. To support this effort, Shell Helix is working to offset the emissions of every litre of premium lubricant, across premium passenger car motor oil.

1 CO鈧 compensation does not imply that there is no environmental impact from the production and use of the product as associated emissions remain in the atmosphere. CO鈧 compensation is not a substitute for switching to lower emission energy solutions or reducing the use of fossil fuels. Shell businesses focus first on emissions that can be avoided or reduced and only then, compensate the remaining emissions.

鈥淐arbon neutral鈥 or 鈥淐O鈧 compensated鈥 indicates that Shell will engage in a transaction where an amount of CO鈧 equivalent to the value of the remaining CO鈧俥 emissions associated with the raw material extraction, transport, production, distribution and usage /end-of-life of the product are compensated through the purchase and retirement of carbon credits generated from CO鈧 compensation projects. Although these carbon credits have been generated in accordance with international carbon standards, the compensation may not be exact.

CO鈧俥 (CO鈧 equivalent) refers to CO鈧, CH鈧, N鈧侽.
