Oman Shell celebrates youth, hydrogen, and sustainable impact at OSW and OPES 2025
Muscat – As Strategic Partner of Oman Sustainability Week (OSW) and the Silver Sponsor for Oman Petroleum & Energy Show (OPES), Oman Shell was proud to be part of the dialogue on the nation's energy future. From launching cutting-edge infrastructure to empowering Omani youth, Shell's participation reflected its deep-rooted commitment to innovation, partnership, and sustainable progress. Throughout the three-day event, Oman Shell was actively involved in the OSW Expo, OPES Panel Discussions, OSW Talks, and the OSW Eco-Mobility Awards, while also hosting major events, including the graduation of the 4th Nawafidh cohort and site visits to the country's first green hydrogen station. A key highlight was winning two awards at the OSW Eco-Mobility Awards. For Walid Hadi, Oman Shell's Senior Vice President and Country Chairman, this edition marked a personal milestone: 'Being part of the first OSW and now witnessing my final one in this role, I've seen firsthand the momentum Oman is building toward a truly sustainable future. From youth-led innovation to real infrastructure breakthroughs like our hydrogen station, Oman is not only imagining a better future, it's laying down the foundations for it. I'm deeply proud of how far we've come and confident in where we're headed.' A Milestone in Mobility: OSW Eco-Mobility Awards Oman Shell was honored with two prestigious accolades at the OSW Eco-Mobility Awards: Gold Award for EV Mobility and Social Impact, and the Platinum Award for the Green Hydrogen for Mobility Project. The Platinum award recognizes the launch of the nation's first-ever hydrogen station, a fully integrated, locally operated and renewables-powered leap toward sustainable mobility. These awards underscore Shell's leadership in enabling a lower-carbon transport future for the Sultanate. Shaping the Dialogue: OSW Talks and OPES Panels Oman Shell's In-Country Value Lead, Najwa Al Kindi, took the stage to highlight how investing in local talent and economic diversification is key to building a resilient, sustainable economy in the panel discussion on Local Leadership and Economic Diversification at OPES Talks. At OSW Talks, Al Ahnaf Al Zubaidi, Shell's Social Investment Manager, spoke on youth empowerment and the importance of nurturing innovation through flagship programs such as Shell NXplorers and Shell Nawafidh, spotlighting the next generation of energy leaders. Driving Innovation: From Gas to Green Hydrogen At the heart of Shell's OSW participation was the launch of the green hydrogen mobility station in March this year. Built in partnership with Mwasalat, Nama Power and Water Procurement Company, and the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, the station produces hydrogen on-site using renewable energy, certified through international renewable energy certificates, making it 100% green. Oman Shell's sixth gift to the nation is a bold step toward a net-zero transport ecosystem. In addition, Shell's stand at OSW highlighted its broader work in natural gas, LNG, and Carbon Capture, & Storage (CCS), offering a system-wide approach to the energy transition. Sharing the Vision Oman Shell welcomed students from Middle East College and OSW visitors to its green hydrogen station, bringing sustainability to life through hands-on learning and immersive walkthroughs. These experiences underscored the importance of placing people at the heart of the energy transition. Celebrating the Next Generation: Nawafidh Graduation Ceremony A standout moment during OSW was the graduation of the fourth batch of the Shell Nawafidh programme, hosted in partnership with GUtech and the Outward Bound Oman. The initiative aims to empower young Omani professionals with innovation, leadership, and entrepreneurship skills to contribute to the energy transition. 'Nawafidh opened my eyes to new ideas and possibilities I hadn't considered before,' shared a graduate during the ceremony. 'It sparked my curiosity about the energy transition and showed me how I can be part of something bigger.' Held under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mansour bin Talib bin Ali Al Hinai, Chairman of the Authority for Public Utilities Regulation, the ceremony stood as a powerful reminder of Omani potential and purpose and the future it is ready to shape.

Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management's current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as 'aim'; 'ambition'; ''anticipate''; ''believe''; 'commit'; 'commitment'; ''could''; ''estimate''; ''expect''; ''goals''; ''intend''; ''may''; 'milestones'; ''objectives''; ''outlook''; ''plan''; ''probably''; ''project''; ''risks''; 'schedule'; ''seek''; ''should''; ''target''; ''will''; 'would' and similar terms and phrases.

All forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc's Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (available at and These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this press release and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the press release [May 18, 2025]. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Shell's Net Carbon Intensity Also, in this press release, we may refer to Shell's 'Net Carbon Intensity' (NCI), which includes Shell's carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers' carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers' carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell's NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell's 'Net Carbon Intensity' or NCI are for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries. Shell's net-zero emissions target Shell's operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell's operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell's operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be a significant risk that Shell may not meet this target. Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures This press release may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as [cash capital expenditure] and [divestments]. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc's consolidated financial statements. The contents of websites referred to in this press release do not form part of this press release. We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this press release that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC.
