SHELL PLC Animal Testing Environmental Damage Fossil Fuel Production
Shell, headquartered in the UK, is an integrated oil and gas company that explores for, produces, and refines oil around the world. The company engages in the exploration and production, refining, transportation and storage of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Between 2021 and 2023, the company spent an average of USD $2,015 million per year on exploration activities alone. After generating 1,250 million barrels of oil in 2023, the company plans to expand their operations an additional 5,650 million barrels in the short term (1-7 years).
The expansion is proposed to extend far and wide across the globe, including in Australia, Malaysia, Brunei, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Oman, Cameroon, Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, USA, Canada, the UK, and Norway. Evidence shows the company is far from being on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise, as the company’s planned short-term expansion overshoots the IEA Net-Zero Emissions Scenario by 66.5%.
