Natural gas – a growing part of Shell’s business

Special Information Feature

The world is starting a shift toward a new, low-carbon energy future. But it will take several decades to get there.

Shell is taking steps today to help build the energy system of tomorrow: producing more cleaner-burning natural gas; working to deliver advanced fuels and lubricants and lower-carbon biofuels; and building capability in carbon capture and storage.

Natural gas may not be a renewable energy source, but it is clearly a lower-CO2 energy source than other fossil fuels.
It will be very important as a bridge to a low-carbon energy future, and remain a vital part of that future.

By about 2012, Shell will be producing more gas than oil.

Gas can play an important role in cleaner power generation. With Shell’s leading position in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and new technologies in recovering natural gas from tight formations, we can supply natural gas to replace coal in power generation, which for many countries is the least costly solution to achieving longer-term CO2-reduction targets.
