Job Description:

Shell is playing its part in the transition towards a low-carbon future. We aim to cut the net carbon footprint of our energy products by around half by 2050. Our New Energies business, set up in 2016, supports this ambition. New Energies is an emerging opportunity, in which we plan to invest on average $1-2 billion a year until 2020 as we look for commercial investments in new and fast-growing segments of the energy industry.

Shell New Energies focuses on two areas: new fuels and power. New Fuels consists of investments in hydrogen, biofuels, and electric vehicle charging. In Power, we are building up positions across the full electricity value chain, including in renewable generation, retail energy, distributed energy resources, power trading and marketing, and grid services. Within these focus areas, we look for ways to connect customers with new business models for mobility and energy services, enabled by digital technologies and decentralization of energy systems.

Our Power strategy focuses on meeting commercial, industrial and residential customer needs, supported by our core competencies in generation, power trading and marketing, retail energy, distributed energy resources and grid services, as well as our ability to optimize supply and demand across our large asset portfolio. We’re also developing low-carbon energy sources, including wind, solar, storage and natural gas. Shell has demonstrated for more than a century its ability to transform and grow its energy sources, products and services to support societal development. Our New Energies business is now combining our experience, partnerships and technical know-how to enable new ways to continue powering progress towards a more sustainable energy future.
