00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,840  
Hello, I'm Elise Nowee,

2  
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,400  
President of Shell Catalysts and Technologies.

3  
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,360  
Our mission is to help  
our customers meet the world's

4  
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,040  
rising demands by providing  
more and cleaner energy

5  
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,505  
solutions in an efficient way.

6  
00:00:16,505 --> 00:00:20,425  
Our societies face a difficult  
challenge ahead to rapidly

7  
00:00:20,425 --> 00:00:24,185  
decarbonise while meeting  
rising living standards from a

8  
00:00:24,185 --> 00:00:26,345  
growing global population.

9  
00:00:26,345 --> 00:00:29,065  
As the energy  
transition gathers pace,

10  
00:00:29,065 --> 00:00:32,790  
achieving goal will require  
unprecedented cooperation among

11  
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:35,670  
societies, industries  
and governments.

12  
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:39,270  
It will also require shifts in  
the way the world produces and

13  
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:40,630  
uses energy.

14  
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:44,485  
Our aspiration is to help you  
as our customer navigate the

15  
00:00:44,485 --> 00:00:48,005  
challenges ahead and thrive  
through the energy transition.

16  
00:00:48,005 --> 00:00:51,205  
We apply our expertise and  
leverage Shell's decades of

17  
00:00:51,205 --> 00:00:54,245  
owner operator experience to  
co create with you cutting

18  
00:00:54,245 --> 00:00:55,840  
edge solutions.

19  
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,720  
Working together,

20  
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,800  
we make every molecule matter and  
can shape the energy landscape.

21  
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,720  
With Shell Catalysts  
and Technologies,

22  
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,520  
you will have a partner to help you  
create more value today and tomorrow.

23  
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,425  
I'm very excited to work with  
you to strengthen today's

24  
00:01:10,425 --> 00:01:13,665  
business further and  
transform energy together.
