[A]

The net carbon intensity calculation uses Shell’s energy product sales volume data, as disclosed in the Annual Report and Sustainability Report. This excludes certain contracts held for trading purposes and is reported net rather than gross. Business-specific methodologies for net volumes have been applied to oil products, pipeline gas and power. Paper trades that do not result in physical product delivery are excluded. Retail sales volumes from markets where Shell operates under trademark licensing agreements are also excluded from the scope of Shell’s net carbon intensity metric.

[B]

Acquisitions and divestments are included in the actual performance tracking with the target and baseline year unchanged. Note that acquisitions and divestments could have a material impact on meeting the targets.

[C]

Percentage of delivered energy may not add up to 100% because of rounding.

[D]

Total volume of energy products sold by Shell, aggregated on an energy basis, with electricity represented as fossil equivalents. This value is derived from energy product sales figures disclosed by Shell in the Annual Report and the Sustainability Report.

[E]

Lower heating values are used for the energy content of the different products. A fossil-equivalence approach is used to account for electrical energy, in order to assess electrical energy on the same basis as our other energy products.

[F]

Total CO2e emissions estimated using Shell's Net Carbon Footprint value and the estimate of total delivered energy. Note, this estimated value is calculated from the portfolio average intensity value, which is determined in Shell's Net Carbon Footprint calculation. Total CO2e emissions are only intended to give an indication of the scope of the emissions included within Shell's Net Carbon Footprint and do not represent an inventory of emissions. Carbon offsets were included in the total estimated GHG emissions covered by the Net Carbon Footprint calculation.

[G]

These numbers include well-to-wheel emissions associated with energy products sold by Shell, on an equity boundary basis; they also include the well-to-tank emissions associated with the manufacturing of energy products by others that are sold by Shell. Emissions associated with the manufacturing and use of non-energy products are excluded.

[H]

Emissions included in the carbon intensity of power have been calculated using the market-based method.

[I]

The carbon intensity of biofuels reflects the global average for biofuels sold by Shell for 2022.

In certain cases, prior to 2019, it was not possible to disaggregate sales of Shell and third-party gas volumes. To avoid double-counting these sales volumes were not included in the above figures.

[A]

From 2019, gas and power sales volumes are reported based on a revised methodology. Sales volumes reported exclude those related to pure trading activities.

[B]

For 2018-2021, table shows sales of gas and power produced by third-parties. From 2022, Shell’s own power generation is also included.

[A]

Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) comprise carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride. The data are calculated using locally regulated methods where they exist. Where there is no locally regulated method, the data are calculated using the 2009 API Compendium, which is the recognised industry standard under the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. There are inherent limitations to the accuracy of such data. Oil and gas industry guidelines (Ipieca/API/IOGP) indicate that several sources of uncertainty can contribute to the overall uncertainty of a corporate emissions inventory. We have estimated the overall uncertainty for our direct GHG emissions to be around 3% for 2022.

[B]

GHG emissions were calculated using global warming potential (GWP) factors from the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report. For comparison, our Scope 1 emissions would have been 51 million tonnes in 2022 if we were to use GWPs from IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report.

[C]

GHG emissions in this table do not include carbon credits.

[D]

Split by business or country may not add up to the total due to rounding.

[E]

Includes Scotford Upgrader and Quest Carbon Capture and Storage. Excludes CO2 captured and sequestered by Quest, but Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from operating Quest are included.

[F]

Includes emissions from other Downstream assets and activities (e.g. shipping, lubricants and trading & supply).

[G]

Includes emissions from assets and activities reported by the Projects & Technology business and Global Functions.

[H]

Methane emissions were converted to CO2 equivalents using GWPs from the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report. For comparison, our methane emissions would have been 1.1 million tonnes in CO2 equivalents in 2022 if we were to use GWPs from IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report.

[I]

Includes Upstream and Integrated Gas businesses.

[J]

Calculated as total hydrocarbons flared divided by sum of total oil and gas wellhead production, LNG and GTL production x 100%.

[K]

GHG emissions related to energy production (in the form of electricity, heat or steam) that was exported to another facility or public grid. This is a subset of our Scope 1 GHG emissions.

Chemical GHG intensity refers to high-value chemicals, which include olefin products (ethylene and propylene) plus the contained butadiene, benzene, acetylene, and high-purity hydrogen production.

[A]

The values in this table reflect estimated Scope 3 emissions included in our net carbon intensity. This excludes certain contracts held for trading purposes and reported net rather than gross. Business-specific methodologies for net volumes have been applied to oil products, pipeline gas and power. Paper trades that do not result in physical product delivery are excluded. Retail sales volumes from markets where Shell operates under trademark licensing agreements are also excluded from the scope of Shell’s carbon intensity metric.

[B]

Estimated emissions from other Scope 3 categories are published on www.shell.com/ghg. 2022 data will be available around June 2023.

[C]

This category includes estimated well-to-tank emissions from purchased third-party refined oil products, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, crude oil and biofuels.

[D]

This category includes estimated well-to-wire emissions from the generation of purchased power included in our net carbon intensity.

[E]

Estimated emissions from the transport and distribution of sold own oil products, crude oil, liquefied natural gas, gas-to-liquids, natural gas and biofuels.

[F]

This category includes estimated emissions from the sales volumes of oil products, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, gas-to-liquids and biofuels.

[G]

This category includes estimated emissions from our refinery production, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, gas-to-liquids and biofuel products.

[H]

Estimated as the difference between own production and total sold products.
