Showa Shell Shares Gain Most in 4 Months on Solar-Plant Report
By Megumi Yamanaka
July 2 (Bloomberg) — Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K., the Japanese unit of Royal Dutch Shell Plc, gained the most in four months in Tokyo trading after a report said it will build a solar-panel plant at a cost of more than 100 billion-yen ($944 million).
The stock climbed as much as 6.8 percent to 1,259 in Tokyo, the biggest gain since Feb. 15. It traded at 1,218 yen at 9:41 a.m. local time. Ulvac Inc., which will help develop technology for the project according to the report, rose as much as 7.2 percent to 4,030 yen, the biggest gain since June 23. It traded at 3,940 yen at 9:54 a.m.
The Tokyo-based refiner is studying sites in Japan, Europe or the Middle East, with construction to begin in 2011, the report in the Nikkei newspaper said. Showa Shell said in a statement to the Tokyo Stock Exchange today that it hasn’t yet decided whether it will build the plant.
The factory will produce solar cells using metallic compounds to avoid the higher cost of silicon used in standard cells, the report said. Showa Shell will team up with Ulvac, a maker of vacuum devices based in Kanagawa prefecture near Tokyo, to develop the cheaper technology, the report said.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
