Alternative energy
The world has plenty of potential renewable energy sources, but each has its own technical challenges. Scientists are working to develop alternative energy sources that are sustainable, clean and convenient.

Innovation
Shell is the largest investor in research and development among the major oil firms. In 2009 we invested over $1.2 billion on the research and development. These technologies will be needed to produce more and cleaner energy, and more efficient fuels and products for our customers.
Energy efficiency
All of us can use energy more efficiently to help meet rising energy demand and manage our CO2 emissions.
Managing emissions
Helping to stabilise and then reduce the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases requires energy efficiency and cleaner fuels and and the right technologies to achieve this.
Meeting energy demand
Getting the most out of the oil and gas fields we develop is essential to helping meet rising energy demand. Technology is enabling us to explore new frontiers and helping us to get more out of each reservoir.
People & Organisation
Our global community of nearly 30,000 technical staff develop and deliver technology to our projects throughout the world.
