Oil giant Shell has agreed a deal to acquire an energy generation trader as part of its low carbon transition.
Limejump works with generators to “optimise their generation assets within trading markets” such as the wholesale market.
The firm says it has created a Virtual Power Platform to “maximise asset developers return on investment and reduce the concentration of carbon-emitting energy sources”.
Once the deal is finalised, Limejump will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell.
Brian Davis, vice president of energy solutions at Shell New Energies, said: “We are impressed by the Limejump team and their track record of building a digital energy platform that connects and optimises a diverse range of assets.
“Together, we can offer more choices to our customers in the UK as we accelerate the building of a customer-focused energy system in support of Shell’s strategy to offer more and cleaner energy solutions to customers.”
Erik Nygard, chief executive of Limejump, said “This is an exciting moment – we are in the middle of a revolution towards a future where many electricity networks around the world are powered by renewable electricity.
“Shell will help us to drive our innovative technology platform to new heights and support the Limejump team to make a bigger impact on the industry than previously possible. This agreement supports our continued mission to revolutionise the energy industry and to put it simply, we are now super-charged and ready.”
Shell revealed plans to link pay for its top brass to the achievement of emissions targets in December, in another demonstration that it is taking the energy transition seriously.
Shell said it would start setting targets for shorter periods in an effort to cut the net carbon footprint of its energy products by around half by 2050, and 20% by 2035.
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.
