Cleaner Mobility
Discover how Shell is providing more sustainable mobility options for cleaner transport, including electric vehicle charging, liquified natural gas and hydrogen.
Cleaner Energy for Homes - Shaping the future of home and hearth
From cooking, lighting, heating, and cooling we rely on energy to power our homes and neighbourhoods. As the world moves to a lower CO2 energy system, the ways in which we power our homes will undergo substantial change. Our homes will become more energy efficient, powered by cleaner energies and ultimately, more sustainable.
Already, wind farms, solar plants and hydro plants are generating renewable electricity for national grids. Renewable gas is being fed into domestic heating systems. And in the developing world, off grid communities are developing micro grids, powered by wind, solar and bio fuel.
Shell is committed to keeping pace with this change and playing an active role in the on-going transition to a lower carbon world. We are developing wind farms, solar plants and plants that generate renewable gas from waste. We are exploring smart meter systems to help people run their homes more efficiently. And in the developing world we are helping remote communities move from a dependence on wood and animal dung as fuel to cleaner alternatives.

Super cooling natural gas to around 162oc below zero turns it into a liquid. This shrinks its volume 600 times, making it much easier to ship and use as a commercial transportation fuel and releasing less CO2 in the process.
With more cars on the world’s roads than ever, new fuels are needed that can help to reduce emissions from transport and improve air quality. One of these is hydrogen, which can swap traditionally-powered car exhaust emissions for water vapour.
