Shell PLC
Shell Energy Data Preview
In 2023, Shell disclosed key data related to its energy management practices, providing transparency into its operational energy use in line with recognized sustainability reporting frameworks.
Shell also reported how it meets its energy needs through a mix of purchased and self-generated energy, offering insight into its sourcing strategy and level of energy independence.
Additionally, Shell also disclosed progress toward renewable energy adoption, highlighting the share of total energy sourced from renewable versus non-renewable sources.
However, Shell did not provide a breakdown of its energy sources or generation technologies, limiting visibility into its energy mix and the role of renewables versus fossil fuels.

Insights into Shell's Energy Renewability
In 2023, Shell consumed a total of 738 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 1.38% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 98.62% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.
Shell's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of Shell's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2023, Shell consumed a total of 738 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 1.38% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.
This low level of renewable energy use highlights a heavy reliance on fossil fuels or other non-renewable sources, suggesting that Shell has considerable room to improve its energy sustainability strategy.
Insights into Shell's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2023, Shell reported total energy inflows of 777.6 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 111.6 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 666 million Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 85.65%, reflecting a 26% percentage point increase from the previous year (2022) and a 92.59% percentage point increase since 2019.
Shell's production share has remained relatively consistent over time, with no significant fluctuations. This stability may indicate a deliberate sourcing strategy built on predictable supply patterns, or a balanced reliance on both internal and external energy sources.
