Petroleum Development Oman (PDO, Shell interest 34%) is constructing a solar thermal steam plant called Project Miraah. In pilot projects in Pakistan, solar power is also helping oil product storage facilities continue to operate despite outages in the local power grid. In Thailand, for example, we fitted two Shell retail stations and the Shell office in Bangkok with solar panels. We use small-scale solar power systems in some retail stations. In Canada and Gabon, for example, we have used solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines and batteries in remote, off-grid well sites to power monitoring and control systems, so avoiding the need for diesel generators.Īt some offshore platforms in the North Sea, we use solar PV and batteries to provide 100% renewable power generation, cutting costs, and reducing refuelling trips to the platforms. Shell is exploring the possibilities offered by solar power and continues to install the technology at facilities to lower carbon intensity while also reducing operating cost. We expect an emerging low-carbon energy system to include traditional fuels such as oil and natural gas alongside renewable energy and carbon capture and storage. Solar panels are installed on the rooftop of a Shell service station in Thailand. Solar and wind power are playing a growing part in meeting global energy demand.
