Energy for the future

Fast forward to 2050, the world population is nearing 9 billion and energy demand has doubled. This animation explores some of the expected challenges involved in delivering energy for 2050 and how Shell is taking a responsible approach to help meet these future needs.

No fossil fuel company has paid for the FULL cost of drilling and burning, because they have not captured the waste products, and put it back underground. Only then is it safe energy. Compare total costs of energy sources and then decide. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Geothermal: these are renewable, and the environmental impacts are far cheaper to undo.

@TheSebastianholt Shell sells fuel oil and natural gas to

power companies, you know, the ones that make electricity

and in doing so produce huge amounts of carbon dioxide?

Hydrogen is an energy STORAGE medium, NOT an energy

SOURCE! The only sources of energy are nuclear, solar,

and old solar(fossil fuels) and geothermal. Hydrogen is NOT

a source of energy!

nuclear fussion ftw

Need more energy? Theory can a house it self make free energy and getting energy from the same sorce so this can give back electricity back to the grid and keeps bill electricity bill cheaper? Just like a dynamo machine in every house so this can give extra energy?

SHELL IS THE MOST HYPOCRITE COMPANY IN THE WORLD... ALL WE NEED IS WATER AND ELECTRICITY TO PRODUCE CLEAN CARBON FREE HYDROGEN TO FUEL OUR ENGINE.. HYDROCARBON PRODUCT FROM SHELL ARE POLLUTING THE WORLD WITH CO2 .... THE PROBLEM.. SO SHELL IS THE PROBLEM ... NOT THE ENERGY 

[TheSebastianholt]

WE DO NOT NEED this hypocrite SHELL.... we need ITM-power that makes clean hydrogen to burn in all our engines... SHELL producs are hydrocarbon products wich pollute the earth dramatically with co2... Get away with this story telling SHELL COMPANY.. THEY POLLUTED THE WORLD FOR THEIR OWN BENEFITS. and yet we need is water and electricity to face the future..

Thanks Shell for drilling oil in the Artic!
