It is also Shell’s objective is to reduce the carbon emission of fuels sold at its filling stations by 20 percent by 2025. The chairperson told: Shell has acquired NewMotion, a company that operates 30,000 e-car charging stations in Europe. They have also joined the IONITY consortium that installs high-performance rapid chargers in 10 European countries, including Hungary. The company is one of the biggest biofuel investors in the world. With the Shell Eco-marathon innovation contest for students, Shell inspires the engineers of the future – in Hungary too – to push the limits energy efficiency.

Shell has also made a pledge to cut the carbon dioxide emission of its filling station operations by 50 percent by 2025; as part of this, in Hungary Shell petrol stations switched to LED lighting in 2016 and started using electricity from renewable sources. Shell also supports local communities, a good example of which in Hungary is the cooperation with the Peter Cerny foundation for the care of newborn infants. Recently Shell and its customers have contributed to buying a new ambulance for the foundation. (x)
