The four parties intend to explore the development of the CCS hub to capture up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 a year. If successful, it will be China’s first offshore large-scale CCS hub which could help reduce significant CO2 emissions of the Daya Bay National Economic and Technological Development Zone and serve the decarbonisation needs of the enterprises in the area.

Following the MoU, parties will seek to conduct a joint study to:

  • Assess the technical solution
  • Develop the commercial model
  • Work with government to develop enabling policies 

“China has an ambitious decarbonisation path – from about 10 billion tons of CO2 emissions a year to net-zero within 30 years,” said Jason Wong, Executive Chairman of Shell Companies in China. “A shift to cleaner energy sources and energy efficiency will not be enough. China will also need to actively remove emissions. This makes CCS an essential part of the solution for China to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. We are keen to collaborate with partners to help accelerate the development of CCS in China and make contributions to China’s carbon targets.”

“The surging demand for CCS in China provides Shell with a substantial opportunity to grow its sectoral decarbonisation business,” said Anna Mascolo, Executive Vice President of Shell Emerging Energy Solutions. “To that end, Shell has been proactively working with CNOOC and other partners to evaluate the Daya Bay CCS Hub, not only to secure the option to reduce the emissions from our expanding Nanhai petrochemical plant and other industrial players in the area, but also to help integrate and scale up Shell’s growing low-carbon energy offerings in the country.”

CCS offers a way to reduce emissions from sectors that are hard to decarbonise. Shell CCS Strategy is a key pillar of its climate target to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 and its ambition is to have access to at least 25 million tonnes a year of CCS capacity by 2035.

Notes to editors:

  • Daya Bay National Economic and Technological Development Zone, approved by the State Council of China in May 1993, is located in the southern part of Huizhou in Guangdong Province. It is adjacent to City Pingshan District, 47 nautical miles from Hong Kong, about 60km from the Shenzhen city center, and about 120km from the Dongguan city center. It has a positive investment climate and is the only petrochemical base in the eastern coast of the Pearl River Delta. The central, provincial, municipal governments attach considerable importance to and place high hopes on the development of Daya Bay. In September 2014, Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone was listed as a national petrochemical industrial base, which was the only petrochemical industrial base in Guangdong Province that was included in the list. The Development Plan for the Pan-Daya-Bay Area adopted by the provincial government clearly puts forward to build a world-class petrochemical industrial base in Daya Bay. (Source: )
  • China has significant geological potential for storing carbon: an estimated 2,400 gigatonnes (Gt) in storage capacity, second only to the USA. It currently has more than 40 CCUS pilot projects with a total capacity of 3 million tons. Many of these projects are small developments linked with enhanced oil recovery. This will need to scale up significantly over the next four decades.In a net-zero emissions energy system, a little more than 1.3 Gt of CO2 a year will need to be captured and permanently stored in 2060. This means CCUS capacity will need to increase more than 400 times in the next four decades. While this is technically possible, as many of the CCUS technologies in China are close to or have reached commercialisation, the main challenge lies in creating conditions to support substantial investment in large-scale CCUS, particularly as a solution to industrial decarbonisation.

Shell’s net carbon footprint

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Footprint” or “Net Carbon Intensity”, which include Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Footprint” or “Net Carbon Intensity” are for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target

Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Footprint (NCF) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCF target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures

This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as [cash capital expenditure] and [divestments]. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.
