Carbon Advisor

The T&S Carbon Advisor(s) play a crucial role in driving the strategic and operational aspects of carbon management within Trading & Supply. This role involves developing and implementing carbon strategies, optimizing carbon trading opportunities, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements with a key focus on Shell Energy, SLMT and Power in Shell businesses. The ideal candidate will have knowledge of the Power and Gas trading business, (ideally) with exposure to carbon markets and emissions trading schemes, the ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and translate them to senior leaders in terms of business impact.

Shell Group have derived absolute carbon budgets based on the externally communicated Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets, leading to Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050. These agreed targets now need to be implemented within the businesses and appropriate mechanisms put in place to optimize and measure performance and support business strategies and portfolio decision making in a way that supports strategic priorities and continued value generation, whilst building low carbon substitute product businesses to over time replace parts of our legacy gas businesses.

Reporting directly to the Carbon Portfolio Manager, the Carbon Advisors' primary role is to support the existing reporting, planning and performance management of Shell Energy Trading, SLMT and Power in Shell businesses and advise how methodology and/or emerging regulatory changes may impact value. The incumbent will work with several broader businesses spanning Downstream, IGU, Finance, Group Strategy & Environment to support transformational change as the business increasingly considers carbon targets and pricing in their business development and strategic plans.

The Carbon Advisor is expected to support strategic & portfolio decision making through carbon lens. The responsibilities include:

• Business plan optimization for value and carbon: Embed carbon within the operating plan (OP) process - forecast carbon, provide commentary and dilemmas, and embed the CMF within OP review sessions, including showcasing and facilitating evaluation and identification of "carbon levers" to address any gaps to targets.
