Shell Scenario Sketch Germany
Deutschland steht an einem Wendepunkt seiner Energiewende: ambitioniert, im großen Maßstab und unter erheblichem Handlungsdruck. Als größte Volkswirtschaft und bedeutendster Energieverbraucher Europas prägen die Entscheidungen des Landes nicht nur den nationalen Weg, sondern auch Richtung und Tempo der Dekarbonisierung in der EU. Unsere Shell Szenario Skizze für Deutschland überträgt vor diesem Hintergrund die globalen Shell‑Szenarien Horizon, Archipelagos und Surge auf die konkreten Ausgangsbedingungen des Landes.
Shell Szenarien
Ist Wasserstoff die Zukunft? Welche Rolle spielen Biokraftstoffe? Wie lange wird es dauern, bis alle Autos elektrisch fahren? Wir untersuchen, wie sich die Zukunft entwickeln könnte, um Menschen dabei zu helfen, heute bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Indem wir verschiedene mögliche Versionen der Zukunft aufzeigen. Unsere Szenarien sind keine Vorhersagen über die Zukunft, beruhen nicht auf einer Kristallkugel und stellen keine Shell Strategie dar. Aber: Sie regen zum Nachdenken an, hinterfragen Annahmen und helfen Menschen, intensiver und breiter über die Welt um sie herum reflektieren.
Die Shell Energiesicherheits-Szenarien und Deutschland
Wir verwandeln Erkenntnisse darüber, wie sich die Welt politisch, wirtschaftlich, technologisch und gesellschaftlich verändert, in „Skizzen“ für ausgewählte Länder, die uns helfen, über die Zukunft in diesen Gesellschaften und Volkswirtschaften nachzudenken.
Deutschland tritt in die nächste Phase seiner Energiewende ein – mit einer einzigartigen Kombination aus Größe, Anspruch und hohem Umsetzungsdruck. Als größte Volkswirtschaft und größter Energieverbraucher Europas beeinflussen Deutschlands Entscheidungen nicht nur den eigenen Kurs, sondern auch Tempo und Ausgestaltung der Dekarbonisierung in der gesamten Europäischen Union. Vor diesem Hintergrund überträgt unsere Shell Scenario Skizze für Deutschland die globalen Shell Szenarien – Horizon, Archipelagos und Surge – auf den konkreten Ausgangspunkt des Landes.

Definitions and Cautionary note
Definitions and Cautionary note
No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this content 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, 2025 (available at www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html and www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this content and should be considered by the reader.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this content. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this content.
Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this content 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 is 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 and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 netzero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits.
In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks 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.
Shell’s net zero emissions target
This content may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow and underlying operating expenses. 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.
