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.
