“The energy transition brings significant changes to the needs of our consumers.

This integrated model gives our customers in the country access to the diversity of products and services, the scale and the presence that Shell has in the global energy market”, said the president of Shell Brasil, André Araujo.
In Brazil, an example of this integrated model is the Marlim Azul thermoelectric plant, a joint venture between Shell Brasil (29,9%), Pátria Investimentos (50,1%) and Mitsubishi Power System (20%). Under construction, the plant will have an installed capacity of 565,5MW and will be the first to use pre-salt natural gas.

In an interview on the company's website, the executive said that the oil giant's current investments are “not enough” and “everything needs to be accelerated”. He said: “Across all our businesses, our low carbon investments will increase significantly over time.
“In a company the size of Shell, even a strong growth rate can be hard to notice, but we are accelerating.
“In offshore wind, we have participated in bids for project construction.
“We've made inroads as solar power developers.
“And when it comes to hydrogen, it is still a very small market, but we are absolutely leaders when it comes to hydrogen for transport and we are active in other areas as well.”
“We are, for example, installing the largest hydrogen electrolyser in the world in Germany. "
