Shell.ai – Making Energy Smarter

The energy transition and digitalisation are two of the key mega trends which will affect the world in the coming decades. 

Shell is using AI and digital technology to make their existing assets more effective and efficient, helping maximise our returns and to minimise our CO2 footprint, whilst at the same time investing in the next generation of clean energy technology.

But digitalisation is about more than technology. It is also about people and creating more agile ways of working. Shell is running an enterprise wide change programme to embed AI into all areas of its business.
