Good Afternoon
We’re seeking to deliver
on the 3Ds:
Demand Reduction
Decarbonisation
Decentralisation
To Address: Climate Change + Energy Security
+ Finite Fossil Fuel = The Same Actions
To help: deliver on the UK’s
commitment to the climate change
challenge, whilst helping to ensure that
there is a sustainable, secure and
affordable supply of
energy for everyone.
We aim to contribute to these goals in
ways that strengthen the economic
capability, social capital and reputation

<It’s the delivery stupid!>
Jeroen van der Veer, CEO Shell
28th January 2008
"Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."
