Shell will avoid investing too heavily in solar or other technologies until they can make financial profits, its chief executive has said.

Ben van Beurden told a meeting of shareholders in London that the oil company was already established in windfarms, a carbon capture plant, and wanted to gradually increase its operations in clean energy.

But he rejected the idea contained in a shareholder resolution that Shell should switch its investments from hydrocarbons to renewables although he firmly believed the Paris climate change agreement by world governments was to be welcomed.

“We want to be part of shaping the future ... in the face of growing environmental challenges,” said Van Beurden. “We believe our current strategy provides much greater scope to play a wider role in that energy transition (to a lower carbon future).”

“Its not going to happen overnight ... We will have to adapt to a more diverse portfolio to reduce carbon,” he added, saying it would take time to develop and insisting “we are not the opposition” to renewables.

Van Beurden highlighted the investment it had already made in wind and solar but said it had learned a painful lesson with a previous foray in photovoltaics that taught the company that petroleum geologists did not make the best electrical engineers.

The Shell boss offered both praise and scathing criticism of the wider solar industry, saying it had a very bright future but then claiming the top 10 solar companies last year made “zero profits and no dividends”.

He added: “I am not against solar. Far from it but we have to find a way of making money out of it. We cannot rely on subsidies.”

Shell recently set up a separate division, called New Energies, to demonstrate its commitment to low carbon activities but admitted the amount of annual investment attached was less than 1% of the amount being put into oil and gas.

Total, SunPower eyeing solar JV in Qatar: report

May 6, 2016 Company News, Europe, Featured, Middle East, News, Renewables 0

French oil Supermajor Total, owner of U.S.-based solar developer SunPower, is studying the prospects of establishing a solar business in Qatar, where it has operated in the Mideast country’s oil and gas sector for over 80 years, Kallanish Energy understands.

Earlier this year, Qatar Petroleum (QP) and Qatar Electricity and Water Co. (QEWC) announced a joint venture to develop 1,000 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity in Qatar, through investments totaling roughly $500 million.

“We understand that Qatar Petroleum is establishing a new company in association with Qatar Electricity and Water Co. to develop solar farms in Qatar. We intend to study the possibility of setting up a joint venture between Sun Power and this new company,” the Gulf Times quoted Total’s CEO Patrick Pouyanné as saying.

Total has become a global player reference in solar power after acquiring SunPower, the second largest solar company in the world. The Supermajor, which already operates a solar business in Abu Dhabi, has said it’s willing to expand its reach to Qatar.

Qatar will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup soccer games and has proposed air-conditioned stadiums to be powered by solar panels, which would produce the smallest carbon footprint for said games ever — a potentially huge public relations opportunity for Total.

Solar Innovation At Qatar 2022
This Oil Major Seeks To Drive Solar Innovation At Qatar 2022

After acquiring the second-largest solar company in the world, global energy giant French Total SA is seeking to set up a solar business in Qatar to boost its chances of bagging the coveted solar project that would give Qatar’s 2022 FIFA World Cup games the smallest carbon footprint ever.

Total has become a global name in solar power after acquiring U.S.-based SunPower, the second largest solar company in the world.

The French energy giant already has a solar business in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, where it has built a solar plant in partnership with Masdar and Abengoa Solar. But a foray into Qatar at this time is very significant, and it’s all about FIFA.

“We understand that Qatar Petroleum is establishing a new company in association with Qatar Electricity and Water Company to develop some solar farms in Qatar. We intend to study the possibility of setting up a joint venture between Sun Power and this new company,” Total Chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné told the Gulf Times.

Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA world cup in 2022 will be the first by an Arab nation. Along with other controversies on awarding the World Cup to Qatar, one of the sticking points was the extreme hot weather during the time of the Cup, when temperatures are expected to reach 50 °C (122 °F).

Qatar had plans to use solar energy to cool the five stadiums where matches were to be held, as showcased in its 500-seater model stadium. The stadiums’ solar plants were to be connected to the national grid. During matches, the stadium would import energy from the grid, whereas, it would export to the grid when the stadium was not being used, making the facility carbon neutral.

Though FIFA has decided to change the date of the Cup now to coincide with the Qatari winter from 21 November to 18 December 2022, the general belief is that Qatar will still go ahead with the solar plants for the stadiums to prove their point that they could have successfully hosted the event even during the summer.

Qatar is also very determined to make a lasting impression by hosting a low carbon footprint version of the world cup—another continuing criticism of the event itself.

Along with the cup, the Qatar National Vision 2030, launched in 2008, also emphasizes developing clean renewable energy resources, further solidifying the solar push. So while Qatar has the third largest gas reserves in the world exceeding 250 trillion cubic feet, accounting for more than 13 percent of the known global resource, and Doha has been the center of attention in failed talks of an oil output freeze, solar is fast becoming a focal point here.

The push by the oil and gas rich nations to adopt renewable energy resources may serve as proof that fossil fuels are destined to decrease in importance and will someday be overtaken by cleaner and greener energy.

But the interesting thing about FIFA—for all the criticism of its carbon footprint—is that it may be exactly events such as this that help bring solar and other renewable energy resources to the forefront. As always, it’s the biggest violators that come under pressure to change and start the ball rolling. Total is clearly in the front line of this changing game.

FIFA’s carbon footprint cannot be easily dismissed. The 2014 World Cup in Brazil was said to generate over 2.7 million metric tons of CO2e, while FIFA worked on a plan to offset those carbon emissions.

FIFA is important to Qatar in more than one way. It’s not just about being the first Arab nation to host the World Cup—it’s a showcasing arena for the Qatari desire to become a leader in renewable energy and to prove to the world that it’s got just as much prowess in solar as it does in gas. FIFA during the summer would have been a major coup. FIFA in the winter will be a far less dramatic presentation setting for Qatar’s solar stadiums, but it could still drive the point home.

Look on the bright side, no mention of the planet Nibiru hiding behind the sun ready to ambush us. Some people seem at their happiest when imminent doom is headed our way. Reminds me of my young days during crisis points in the Cold War where we supposedly had 4 minutes warning that hundreds of nuclear tipped ICBMs were inbound. The question was: what would you do with your last 4 min?
