About us
Shell is one of the largest global participants in the market for environmental products, carbon credits and carbon trading. We’ve been active since 2003, when the first emissions trading scheme was set up in Europe, and have grown significantly to become a global presence in both the regulated and voluntary carbon markets. Environmental regulated markets are a mechanism through which companies can comply with environmental regulations and manage their net-carbon emissions. The voluntary carbon market and Voluntary Emission Reductions (carbon credits) provide a mechanism for investing in projects that contribute to limiting the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is done by either removing greenhouse gas emissions or avoiding an emission that would otherwise have occurred. We believe that high-quality carbon credits are an essential complement to avoiding and reducing emissions, enabling businesses and organisations to compensate for emissions as they develop and implement lower-carbon solutions. With our scale, flexibility, and expertise we can provide customers confidence that they are supporting the right projects to meet their climate goals.

Any company’s decarbonisation strategy must start with avoiding and reducing emissions in its operations and supply chains. However, carbon markets and the ability to offset emissions is also a vital part of the solution. In the latest episode from Reuters Plus “Decarbonisation: From what to how” series, Flora Ji, Global VP, Nature-Based Solutions, explains why voluntary carbon credits are a key additional measure to reach net zero and how Shell is striving to improve quality. #PoweringProgress #EnergyTransition #Decarbonisation #CarbonMarket

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.
