Shell International Headquaters: The Hague

Yo,

This is Daniel, Alex, Jayson and Jared reporting from Brussels. After our exciting tour of the hydrogen bus station, we traveled with Steve Rouvroy of Shell Hydrogen to the Hague. The International Headquaters of Shell consist of a complex of several buildings, including the original Shell building that dates back to 1899. While there we met with several high profile executives. Vice President of Shell CO2, Bill Spence spent a good deal of time telling us about the basics of climate change which was nothing new, but we were able to ask him some questions about Shell’s role in the ETS. We also spoke with Oliver Tabbert from Shell Renewables, Keith Lewis from Shell Global Solutions and Gijs Van Brenda Vriesman, General Manager for Business Development in Europe. If you haven’t guessed it, these were some pretty high-up people in Shell! Among the important tidbits that we discovered was that the ETS does not include carbon capture and storage as an offset to emitting CO2, something that Shell is lobbying hard to get it included in the future, since they have an expertise in this area.

More to come about our wild meeting with the World Wildlife Fund.

JJAD out.
