Shell schließt Stromlieferverträge zur Erzeugung von erneuerbarem Wasserstoff in Deutschland
London - Shell Energy Europe Limited, eine Tochtergesellschaft von Shell plc, hat in Deutschland zwei Stromabnahmeverträge (Power Purchase Agreements, PPAs) mit den Unternehmen Nordsee One GmbH und Solarkraftwerk Halenbeck-Rohlsdorf I/II GmbH unterzeichnet. Mit den Vereinbarungen sichert sich Shell einen erheblichen Teil des erneuerbaren Stroms für den Betrieb des derzeit im Bau befindlichen Wasserstoff-Elektrolyseurs REFHYNE 2 im Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland.
Im Rahmen Im Rahmen des fünfjährigen Vertrags mit Nordsee One, einem Joint Venture von Northland Power und RWE, wird Shell rund ein Drittel der Produktion des 332-Megawatt (MW) Offshore-Windparks abnehmen. Ein separater zehnjähriger Vertrag mit Solarkraftwerk Halenbeck-Rohlsdorf sieht vor, dass Shell etwa 75 % der Energie aus einem derzeit im Bau befindlichen 230-MW-Solarprojekt abnimmt. Ein Teil des Stroms aus beiden Projekten wird den REFHYNE-2-Elektrolyseur versorgen, sobald dieser 2027 in Betrieb geht.
Der 100-MW-Elektrolyseur wird ökologisch sensibel erzeugten Wasserstoff produzieren. Dieser trägt dazu bei, den CO2-Fußabdruck der im Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland hergestellten und in ganz Europa genutzten Produkte (von Kraftstoffen bis hin zu Chemikalien) zu reduzieren. Die Nutzung von erneuerbarem Strom für die Wasserstoffproduktion trägt dazu bei, die Scope-1- und Scope-2-Emissionen der Anlage weiter zu reduzieren.
Andy Beard, President für den Bereich Wasserstoff bei Shell: „Vereinbarungen wie diese zeigen, wie wir unsere Expertise aus verschiedenen Bereichen wie Trading oder auch Low-Carbon-Solutions zusammenbringen, um unsere Aktivitäten und Produkte schrittweise zu dekarbonisieren. Wasserstoff spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle. Die Vereinbarungen sind eine tolle Wegmarke für REFHYNE-2, an der Shells Strategie ‚mehr Wert mit weniger Emissionen‘ sichtbar wird.“
Till Frohloff, Geschäftsführer von Nordsee One, ergänzt: „Dieses Corporate PPA für CO₂-freien Strom wird allen Partnern kontinuierlichen wirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Nutzen bringen und zeigt das Potenzial von Offshore-Wind zur Dekarbonisierung der deutschen Industrie.“
Karl-Heinz Remmers, Co-CEO von Solarkraftwerk Halenbeck, sagt: „Das Projekt Halenbeck zeigt, dass subventionsfreie Solarstromproduktion in Deutschland und dessen großindustrielle Nutzung Realität sind. Die Nutzung dieses Stroms zur Herstellung von Wasserstoff für die Dekarbonisierung von Kraftstoffen und chemischen Produkten ist ein großer Schritt nach vorn. Es beweist erneut, dass Solarenergie zu einer tragenden Säule der deutschen Energieversorgung geworden ist.“
Das REFHYNE-2-Projekt wurde durch politische Rahmenbedingungen ermöglicht, darunter verbindliche EU-Ziele für die Nutzung von erneuerbarem Wasserstoff und regulatorische Vorgaben der Bundesregierung. Zudem erhielt das Projekt Fördermittel aus dem EU-Forschungs- und Innovationsprogramm Horizon 2020.
Der Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland liefert Produkte an zahlreiche Unternehmen und letztlich an Endverbraucher in ganz Europa. Die Produkte werden zur Herstellung hochwertiger Kraftstoffe, Schmierstoffe, in Elektrofahrzeugen, im wachsenden Markt für Kühlflüssigkeiten sowie für Farben, Kosmetika und elektronische Komponenten verwendet.

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 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 Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero 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.
Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures
This media release may contain certainforward-looking non-GAAP measures such as [adjusted earnings] 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. The contents of websites referred to in this media release do not form part of this media release. We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this media release that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, and any amendment thereto, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
