Offshore Wind Projects in Development Will Have Installed Capacity of 17GW. The Initiative Demonstrates Shell’s Commitment to Brazil
Shell Brasil informed, in a relevant fact on March 18, that it has submitted environmental licensing requests to the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) for the generation of offshore wind energy in six areas, in the states of Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, and Rio Grande do Sul.
According to the oil company, these six development projects will, together, have an installed capacity of 17GW. The initiative demonstrates Shell’s commitment to Brazil, as well as the materialization of the “Driving Progress” strategy, centered on decarbonization targets for the energy transition.
While awaiting the definition of the remaining regulations that will guide the development of these projects in the country, the submission of the Activity Characterization Form (FCA) to IBAMA is a first step to ensure the best study of the areas and the sustainable and responsible development of the investments necessary for licensing. Environmental studies will begin in 2022.

Shell Apologizes After Buying Cheap Oil and Gas from Russia, Closes Fuel Stations and Ends Negotiations in the Country
Earlier this month, CEO Ben van Beurden apologized for Shell’s decision to buy a shipment of oil and gas from Russia, reiterating that the company will divert profits from the remaining quantities of Russian oil it processes to a dedicated aid fund. Shell was condemned by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister over the weekend after it agreed to purchase a mid-March shipment of Urals from the Trafigura deal on March 4.
