“Lubricants are challenging to decarbonise and while steps have been taken to avoid and reduce emissions ”
Shell ’ s globally diverse , externallyverified , and high-quality , nature based carbon credits will balance the CO2e emissions from the lifecycle of the products in the raw materials , packaging , production , distribution , customer use and product end of life .
While avoid and reduce measures offer the best way to tackle emissions in the long term , until scalable solutions are deployed , offsets have an immediate role to play in helping aviation to reduce its net emissions . Compensating for emissions now , with high-quality carbon credits , is not a choice , but a necessity .
Q . HOW IS SHELL INVESTING TO AVOID AND REDUCE EMISSIONS FOR THE AEROSHELL RANGE ?
» Like all other Shell Lubricant ’ s businesses , AeroShell will continue to work to avoid and reduce carbon emissions by optimising production and product design , embedding circularity into product packaging , improving the energy efficiency of facilities , and using renewable energy to reduce emissions across the supply chain .
Across Shell ’ s entire global lubricants business , to avoid emissions , we have already increased our use of re-refined base oils and used more recycled content in our product plastic packaging .
We have also taken out over 55 KT of CO2e from our operations , reducing our carbon intensity by 45 % since 2016 . Over 50 % of the electricity imported to our lube oil blending plants now comes directly from renewable sources through the installation of solar PV panels and green power contracts , or indirectly using renewable energy credits . In addition , we
