Shell Petroleum NV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell plc (Shell), has completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Nature Energy Biogas A/S (Nature Energy).

This acquisition supports Shell’s ambitions to build an integrated RNG value chain at global scale and to profitably grow its low-carbon offerings to customers across multiple sectors.

Shell will generate additional value in our unsurpassed customer access and global scale in our trading and supply chain positions.
Nature Energy will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell, initially under its existing brand.
