Shell startet Verkauf von CO₂-reduziertem Diesel an Tankstellen
Hamburg - Das Energieunternehmen Shell startet an seiner Tankstelle in Hermsdorf/Thüringen mit dem Verkauf des alternativen Diesels HVO100. Weitere Stationen sollen in den kommenden Monaten folgen. Das Produkt mit dem Namen „Shell Renewable Diesel“ wird überwiegend aus biogenen Abfall- und Reststoffen wie gebrauchtem Speiseöl hergestellt.
Sein Vorteil: Es reduziert im Vergleich zu fossilen Brennstoffen die Treibhausgas-Emissionen um bis zu 90 Prozent*. Darüber hinaus erzeugt das Produkt weniger lokale Emissionen (Stickoxide und Schwefeloxide) und weniger Feinstaub.
„Mit Shell Renewable Diesel wollen wir vor allem den Betreibern von LKW- und Fahrzeugflotten helfen, den Transportsektor zu de-karbonisieren und gesetzliche Emissionsvorschriften zu erfüllen“ erklärt Sönke Kleymann, Shell Commercial Road Transport Manager Deutschland, Österreich und Schweiz. Der innovative Kraftstoff, so Kleymann weiter, ist grundsätzlich problemlos für neue und ältere Dieselfahrzeuge – sowohl LKW als auch Flotten-PKW - einsetzbar: „Investitionen in die Fahrzeugtechnik sind nicht nötig“.
Shell Renewable Diesel wird durch Hydrierung und Isomerisierung von regenerativen Rohstoffen gewonnen. Er entspricht der europäischen Norm EN15940 für paraffinischen Diesel-Kraftstoff mit Kürzel XTL.
Im Shell Tankstellennetz gehört die Station in Thüringen zu den bundesweit wichtigen für den Geschäftsverkehr. Die unbemannte Station liegt an der A9, Hermsdorfer Höhe 9, unmittelbar vor dem Hermsdorfer Kreuz.
Neben Deutschland bietet Shell den paraffinischen Kraftstoff auch in Belgien, Finnland, Niederlande, Norwegen und Schweden an. In den kommenden Monaten will das Unternehmen Shell Renewable Diesel nun auch an weiteren Stationen in Deutschland und Österreich auf den Markt bringen. Außerdem kann Shell Renewable Diesel bereits heute zum Beispiel über Hoftankstellen von Shell Markenpartnern und Vertriebspartnern bezogen werden. Damit kann es auch für Busse, landwirtschaftliche Fahrzeuge oder für Baufahrzeuge und -maschinen eingesetzt werden.
Ziel von Shell ist es, bis 2050 ein Netto Null CO2 -Unternehmen zu sein. Schwerpunkt bei dieser Transformation liegt bei Aktivitäten, die Treibhausgas-Emissionen verringern oder vermeiden.
So investiert das Unternehmen beträchtlich in CO2 -arme und -freie Produkte und Angebote wie etwa grünen Wasserstoff, Wind- und Solarstrom, Biokraftstoffe und den Aufbau der Ladeinfrastruktur für Elektrofahrzeuge. Unser Angebot für schwer zu de-karbonisierende Sektoren wie Bau, Schifffahrt oder den Transportsektor umfasst neben Shell Renewable Diesel, Shell FuelSave Diesel, Shell GTL Fuel, Shell LNG (und zunehmend Shell Bio-LNG) auch EV-Charging. Mit diesem Kraftstoff-Mosaik können wir unseren Kunden maßgeschneiderte Angebote machen, um ihnen zu helfen, die Energiewende voranzutreiben.
* Reduzierung der Treibhausgasemissionen von 80-90% über den Produktlebenszyklus im Vergleich zu einem herkömmlichen Dieselkraftstoff mit Bio-Anteil (B7 gem. DIN EN 590) mit einem Treibhausgasbasiswert von 90 gCO2e/MJ. Treibhausgasemissionen beinhalten in diesem Zusammenhang CO2, CH4 und N2O.

All forward-looking statements contained in this media release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (available at www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html and www.sec.gov).

Shell’s Net Carbon Intensity
Also, in this media release we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” (NCI), which includes 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’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” or NCI 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 NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is 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 media release 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.
