Chemicals Park Moerdijk is transitioning to a circular future. Shell operates multiple wind and solar farms in the Netherlands. Both onshore and offshore, Shell is exploring for and producing oil and gas via the Nederlandsche Aardolie Maatschappij, NAM (50% Shell, 50% ExxonMobil). Shell is the market leader in transport fuels. Dutch motorists take 3 billion litres of fuel from 570 Shell retail stations (May 2024) annually, while thousands of Shell's own fast EV charge points and Shell Ubitricity normal charge points are being installed as we speak.\nEnergy for tomorrow\nAt the Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam (ETCA), research is conducted into low CO2 energy technologies and sustainable solutions for energy and chemicals. Near Rotterdam Shell builds Europe's biggest green hydrogen plant of the continent.
