Report Summary
Royal Dutch Shell’s Wind Exit The UK Impact
Summary
With the growing energy demand worldwide, Royal Dutch Shell has been actively focusing on the expansion of its operational portfolio by seeking to continue making progress on renewable energy projects in hydrogen, wind, advanced solar technology and second generation biofuels. Despite its strategic focus on green energy initiatives, the company has been investing a mere 1% of its revenues on renewable energy projects. To add to this, the company has recently drawn huge criticism for jeopardizing one of the world’s largest planned wind farm projects in the UK - the offshore London Array project.
