Commitment to Carbon Emissions:
In addition to abandoning fossil fuels, the Anglo-Dutch company also hopes to increase its appeal to investors concerned about the energy giant’s ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a changing world.
Shell announced in October 2020 that it would increase its spending on low-carbon energy by 25% within five years. Recently, the company announced that it wanted to develop a solar energy project in Paraíba. The project consists of seven parks with an installed capacity of approximately 323 MW. The request for approval from Aneel is the first step to enable energy generation projects.
