Shell delivered its ‘Powering Progress’ strategy update in February. The broad framework for capital and carbon are unchanged, but SD21 added depth, context and a wealth of guidance. We now have a clearer picture of how Shell plans to deliver its strategy, and what the business will look like ten years from now. In this note, we explore the key guidance and messages emerging from SD21, covering investment, returns, volume targets, the customer-first model, low carbon fuels and the net-zero ambition.
