Trees naturally sequester carbon as they grow by absorbing CO₂ and storing it in their biomass – in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots. But how much carbon dioxide can one tree store?  A note to our followers: You can now find us on the Shell Low Carbon Solutions LinkedIn page.

Carbon credits can complement our activities to avoid and reduce emissions. Not all technologies and energy services can be swapped out for non-emitting alternatives at the necessary pace. In some sectors, practical alternatives have yet to be developed. And for some businesses, avoiding and reducing emissions will not be enough to reach net zero, or an emissions trajectory consistent with the Paris Agreement. Carbon credits can help close the gap.

Earlier this week, our General Manager Global Environmental Products Trading Nick Osborne met with other senior leaders at the GBTA | Global Business Travel Association Convention, sharing experiences and strategies to help decarbonise the business travel sector.     During an educational session, Nick highlighted the importance of avoiding and reducing carbon output as a priority, with compensation key to short-term goals while other solutions are scaled; remaining diligent through the continuous assessment of carbon credit projects to ensure they remain effective and impactful; and why collaboration and investment is needed to scale emerging solutions.     We hope everyone who joined Nick found the discussion valuable. Look out for upcoming webinars where we will take a deeper dive into the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors. A note to our followers: commencing September, you can find us on the Shell Low Carbon Solutions LinkedIn page. Be sure to follow us there for an even wider array of information and updates related to decarbonisation initiatives and low carbon solutions. We look forward to staying connected with you there.     #SustainableAviation #PoweringProgress #GBTA2024

With International Day of Forests marked on 21st March, deforestation is in the spotlight. David Hone, Shell’s Chief Climate Change Advisor, explores how governments and the voluntary carbon market can work together to avoid deforestation, protecting valuable ecosystems as well as avoiding emissions. https://lnkd.in/ebvdXZVM

As carbon credit generation evolves, so must our ways of measuring quality. Our demanding carbon credit screening process helps bring peace of mind. Discover the difference our process can make for you. https://lnkd.in/e3PFGXY6

It takes a lot for a carbon credit to meet our standards. Watch our video to learn more, and find out how we can help you find the right carbon projects💡 https://lnkd.in/eSP4dbKc

As we evolve our portfolio of carbon credits, we look for projects that provide additional benefits to the environment and local communities, as well as delivering verified carbon reductions. One such project is COMACO - a Zambian social enterprise that supports smallhold farmers in sustainably increasing the yield of their land. COMACO trains farmers in leading sustainable agriculture practices and supports them with planting nitrogen-fixing crops, such as the Gliricidia sepium tree. COMACO works with over 253,000 farmers, and the project resulted in 47 million trees being planted in 2020 alone. Working with communities, conservation areas have been established to protect existing woodlands. Find out more about the project in this short film.
