Recently, Shell Partnered With Gerdau For Investments In A New Solar Power Plant

Shell Brazil and Gerdau closed a cooperation partnership to invest in a solar power plant in the municipality of Brasilândia de Minas, in Minas Gerais. The partnership establishes initial ideas for the creation and discussion of a new joint venture.

The plant, named Aquarii, will have an installed capacity of 190 MW and will provide a portion of sustainable energy to the free energy market, through Shell’s energy trading company, and another portion to Gerdau’s steel production units, starting in 2024. The solar joint venture will have equal participation from both companies and is part of the decarbonization and energy transition strategies of the companies.

This is a voluntary step by Shell Brazil in offering more services and products from renewable energy, which is fully aligned with Gerdau’s pursuit of a cleaner energy matrix.

The Company Plans More Investments In Renewable Energy To Achieve Carbon Neutrality

Royal Dutch Shell, or simply Shell, the Anglo-Dutch oil multinational, recently announced that it has an energy transition strategy to align its operations with the goals of ‘net zero’ carbon emissions. The oil company seeks to direct a larger portion of its capital expenditure to growth businesses, such as renewable energy and transition, rather than prioritizing conventional exploration and production areas.

Forbes reported that by 2025, Shell aims to launch 15,000 convenience stores, expand its retail service portfolio, and install around 500,000 charging points for electric vehicles. Curiously, the company launched Shell Café in the Netherlands and Russia. The growth pillar strategy aims to introduce new revenue streams, maintain market share in resilient sectors, expand the customer base, and gain experience in decarbonizing mobility and other sectors.

Additionally, Shell aims to achieve a double-digit share in the clean hydrogen market by 2035. It is estimated that these businesses will receive 30% of the capital expenditure budget, while net debt falls to below US$ 65 billion.
