NEW YORK — Shell Oil Co. agreed to pay a $5.8 million penalty and cut greenhouse gas emissions at a Gulf Coast refinery as part of a settlement with Texas environmental groups who filed suit against it early last year, The Associated Press reported.
The agreement, which must still be approved by a federal judge, would cut greenhouse gas emissions at Shells Deer Park, Texas, refinery and chemical plant by 750,000 pounds a year for the next three years. In addition, monitoring of air quality would be improved, according to the Sierra Club and Environment Texas groups.
Shell said the settlement was consistent with plans to cut emissions at the Deer Park site.
“We strive to operate in compliance with all permits and regulations,” Shell said in a statement. “We are pleased that we have reached an agreement with the citizen groups to resolve the matter, avoid continued litigation and provide benefits in the public interest.”
The Sierra Club and Environment Texas filed suit against Shell early last year.
“This settlement agreement represents a major victory in the fight for clean air on Texas’s Gulf Coast,” said Sierra Club’s Neil Carman. “We urge other oil and chemical companies in the region to take note of Shell’s willingness to work constructively with us.”
The monetary penalty would be used to fund health projects in Texas, the AP reported.

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.
