The head of one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies says market forces will eventually result in a global price on carbon.
Royal Dutch Shell CEO Ben van Beurden made the call at the 18th International LNG Conference underway in Perth.
Mr van Beurden also championed the need for greater innovation in accessing new oil and gas reservoirs at acceptable costs, while acknowledging the tough position producers faced.
“Market conditions are pretty challenging,” he said.
“But at the same time new markets are opening up, like Thailand, Pakistan and even Poland.
“In the past these markets were too small for our consideration, but the rapid growth of floating re-gasification facilities, amongst other developments, has considerably lowered the costs for importers and it’s given us a lot of flexibility.”
Shell is building the world’s largest floating LNG plant, Prelude, which will extract gas hundreds of kilometres off the Western Australian coast
“I believe it’s not a matter of mandates, it’s not a matter of structures, that are going to be imposed top down,” Mr van Beurden said.
“I believe in the concepts of markets doing their work, putting a price on carbon, making sure we level the playing field.”

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.
