Shell Implements Job Cuts and Strategy Shift in Low-Carbon Division

Shell plans to cut 15% of the workforce in its low-carbon solutions division, including 200 jobs in 2024, as part of CEO Wael Sawan's efforts to boost profits. The company will also scale back its hydrogen business, particularly in the light mobility sector, and focus on heavy mobility and industry. The changes aim to strengthen Shell's core low-carbon business areas such as transport and industry. The company's carbon capture and storage and nature-based solutions businesses will not be affected by the cuts. Shell's move comes as it seeks to revamp its strategy and prioritize higher-margin projects, steady oil output, and natural gas production.
