Shell commits faster RE switch
Shell is ramping up its drive to operate its business using renewable energy to usher in sustainable and long-term goals — both for the company and the country.
Last week, the company announced that the Shell Mamplasan mobility site in Biñan, Laguna will be powered by renewable energy from Shell Energy Philippines.
The station with Shell Recharge charging points will be powered by a mix of solar, geothermal and hydro energies.
“The switching to renewable energy at our operations shows our commitment to reducing our carbon emissions. We continue to work with partners in the decarbonization journey as we transition to a lower carbon economy,” Shell country chair for the Philippines Lorelie
Quiambao-Osial said.
Shell Mamplasan is the second Shell mobility site to be powered by renewable energy from SEPH. The first one was Shell North Luzon Tollway 1 in Balagtas, Bulacan.
Transformation period
In 2020, Shell began transforming its retail fuel stations into one-stop mobility destinations featuring sustainable solutions. These solutions help reduce energy consumption by approximately 30 percent, as compared to a traditional site.
SEPH is a retail electricity supplier under the Shell companies in the Philippines offering competitive and environment-friendly energy solutions to industrial and commercial customers in the country.
