Graduação em energia Shell chegou a um acordo no valor de 1,66 mil milhões de libras para comprar a totalidade da empresa dinamarquesa Nature Energy, que é o maior produtor de biogás da Europa.
A Nature Energy recolhe resíduos da indústria, da agricultura e das famílias e utiliza o metano que liberta à medida que se decompõe para produzir gás natural renovável (RNG). Caso contrário, este metano seria emitido para a atmosfera, onde actuaria como um potente gás com efeito de estufa, pelo que a sua colheita beneficia o ambiente. Além disso, o GNR e o gás natural tradicional são quimicamente idênticos, pelo que podem ser utilizados como substituto imediato para descarbonizar operações baseadas no gás natural, como na indústria, nos transportes marítimos e rodoviários e no aquecimento.
The downstream director at Shell, Huibert Vigeveno, said that the acquisition would:
“…add a European production platform and growth pipeline to Shell’s existing RNG projects in the United States. We will use this acquisition to build an integrated RNG value chain at global scale, at a time when energy transition policies and customer preferences are signalling strong growth in demand in the years ahead.”
Once Shell, which also makes grease and fluids like transmission oil, has secured regulatory approval for the acquisition, possibly by early 2023, it will initially operate Nature Energy and its 420 employees under its current branding as a Shell subsidiary. Shell will also inherit the firm’s 14 plants currently in operation and the infrastructure and supply chain to support them. It will also take on a pipeline of projects for a further 30 plants in both North America and Europe.
