Shell in The Netherlands
The Netherlands is one of the two founding countries of the company. Here 9,380 employees (March 2024) of more than 100 nationalities jointly work to provide the country with energy for today, for tomorrow and for you.
Energy for today
The refinery at Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam (Pernis) - Europe’s largest - is facing a cleaner future with less carbon emissions. 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.
Energy for tomorrow
At 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. From Amsterdam and The Hague, Shell Nederland leads the transition of the corporation to a more sustainable future, with 6.5 billion euros invested in solar panels, wind farms, green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, EV charging and other groundbreaking solutions for the future.
Energy for you
Even after the company HQ moved to London in January 2022, Shell's commitment to the Netherlands remains very strong. The Hague still housing the headquarters of three of Shell's business divisions, and Rotterdam stays a key trading, marketing and sales hub for Shell products. Combined Shell in the Netherlands works to bring its wide range of energy products as close as possible to you as an energy consumer. This includes a Shell Impact Fund to make the energy transition closer to people with financial challenges, this includes EV chargers on the corner of your street via our daughter company Ubitricity and this includes keeping the country warm in winter with Liquid Natural Gas.
