1
00:00:03,010 --> 00:00:03,980
Something as small

2
00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:06,030
as a series of chemical reactions,

3
00:00:06,030 --> 00:00:07,760
can have a profound impact

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,750
on the health of our planet and its people.

5
00:00:10,750 --> 00:00:14,250
This is why Shell Catalysts & Technologies mission

6
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:17,480
is to make every molecule matter.

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,550
Climate change is among the most significant challenges

8
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:23,970
we face today, and it's accelerating.

9
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:25,780
The way in which humans have produced

10
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:29,090
and consumed energy in the past is unsustainable,

11
00:00:29,090 --> 00:00:32,030
and we must work urgently towards a future

12
00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:35,870
that's powered by more and cleaner energy technologies.

13
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:39,310
After all, energy demand is only expected to grow

14
00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:42,720
as the human population continues to increase.

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,780
Experts anticipate nearly 10 billion people

16
00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:48,420
living on the planet by 2050.

17
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:51,940
For some energy producers and industrial applications,

18
00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:54,800
this transformation is already underway.

19
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,900
Emphasis is being placed on improving

20
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:00,900
the efficiency of operations, reducing the carbon footprint,

21
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:04,310
and investing in emission reduction solutions.

22
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:08,080
And yet, many challenging questions remain.

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,030
How do we come out of this transition stronger?

24
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:13,810
How do we meet both regulatory compliance

25
00:01:13,810 --> 00:01:16,440
and our obligation to society?

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,880
That's why we at Shell Catalysts & Technologies,

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,120
commit to make every molecule matter.

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,130
This means we use our extensive molecular science expertise

29
00:01:27,130 --> 00:01:29,870
and talented research and development staff,

30
00:01:29,870 --> 00:01:31,450
to support both more

31
00:01:31,450 --> 00:01:34,810
and cleaner energy efficiencies for our partners.

32
00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:36,930
We strive to enable our customers

33
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:40,060
to limit greenhouse gas emissions of all kinds,

34
00:01:40,060 --> 00:01:43,640
and enhance operational and energy efficiencies,

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,830
renewable refining processes, nature-based solutions,

36
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:50,750
hydrogen technologies, biofuels,

37
00:01:50,750 --> 00:01:53,640
and carbon capture and storage solutions

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,720
are just some of the promising areas

39
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,410
we're investing in today.

40
00:01:57,410 --> 00:02:00,220
But we still have a difficult road ahead.

41
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:03,560
Long term success is dependent on relationships

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,140
and the innovative creative solutions,

43
00:02:06,140 --> 00:02:09,320
deployed through learning and collaboration.

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,630
Devising those solutions starts by taking small steps today,

45
00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:16,420
to address the large global challenges we face.

46
00:02:16,420 --> 00:02:18,900
We are dedicated to leading the conversations

47
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,400
that are worth having, with our customers, energy partners,

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,480
and governments across the globe,

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,563
to ensure that together we make every molecule matter.
