　　壳牌荷兰拉菲纳德里公司 (Shell Nederland Raffinaderij BV) 是壳牌公司的子公司，该公司宣布暂停位于荷兰鹿特丹壳牌能源化工园的年产 82 万吨生物燃料工厂的现场建设。该决定旨在解决项目交付问题，并确保在当前市场条件下的未来竞争力。此次暂停将减少承包商数量并减缓活动速度，有助于控制成本并优化项目排序。

　　壳牌下游可再生能源和能源解决方案总监 Huibert Vigeveno 强调了评估最佳商业前进道路的战略举措，同时重申了壳牌到 2050 年实现净零排放的承诺。他强调了低碳燃料在壳牌盈利脱碳战略中的重要性。

　　维吉维诺表示：“现在暂停现场施工将使我们能够评估该项目最商业化的前进方式。”

　　“我们致力于实现到 2050 年实现净零排放的目标，低碳燃料是壳牌帮助我们和客户实现盈利脱碳战略的关键部分，”维吉维诺表示。“我们将继续以有节制和有纪律的方式使用股东资本，以更少的排放创造更多价值。”

　　此项决定之后将进行减值审查，预计壳牌将在 2024 年 7 月 5 日发布的第二季度更新中提供进一步的指导。该工厂最初于 2021 年 9 月获得批准，旨在利用废物生产可持续航空燃料 (SAF) 和可再生柴油。壳牌是能源领域的主要参与者，继续在低碳能源解决方案方面进行大量投资，计划在 2023 年至 2025 年期间投入 100 至 150 亿美元。

　　Shell pauses European biofuels facility construction for review

　　Shell Nederland Raffinaderij B.V., a subsidiary of Shell plc, has announced a temporary pause in the on-site construction of its 820,000-tonne-per-year biofuels facility at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The decision aims to address project delivery issues and ensure future competitiveness amid current market conditions. This pause will reduce contractor numbers and slow down activity, helping to control costs and optimise project sequencing.

　　Huibert Vigeveno, Shell’s Downstream Renewables and Energy Solutions director, emphasised the strategic move to assess the best commercial path forward while reaffirming Shell’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. He highlighted the importance of low-carbon fuels in Shell’s strategy to decarbonise profitably.

　　“Temporarily pausing on-site construction now will allow us to assess the most commercial way forward for the project,” said Vigeveno.

　　“We are committed to our target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with low-carbon fuels as a key part of Shell’s strategy to help us and our customers profitably decarbonise,” said Vigeveno. “And we will continue to use shareholder capital in a measured and disciplined way, delivering more value with less emissions.”

　　An impairment review will follow this decision, with further guidance expected in Shell’s second-quarter update on July 5, 2024. Initially approved in September 2021, the facility aims to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel from waste. Shell, a major player in the energy sector, continues to invest significantly in low-carbon energy solutions, planning to allocate USD10-USD15 billion between 2023 and 2025.
