If you regularly travel to Manila via SLEX, Shell Mamplasan, the first Shell station after the Sta. Rosa exit, is likely one of your usual rest stops. You'd be glad to know that the station is making the switch to the use of renewable energy from Shell Energy Philippines (SEPH).
Shell Mamplasan is the second Shell mobility site to be powered by renewable energy from SEPH. The first one was Shell North Luzon Tollway 1 (NLT1) in Balagtas, Bulacan.The Mamplasan station also features a Shell Recharge EV charging point which will also be powered through a mix of solar, geothermal, and hydro energies.
“The switching to renewable energy at our operations shows our commitment to reducing our own carbon emissions. We continue to work with partners in the decarbonization journey as we transition to a lower carbon economy”, said Lorelie Quiambao-Osial, Country Chair for Shell companies in the Philippines.
Aside from Shell Mamplasan and Shell NLT1, the SciP headquarters in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, and the Shell Import Facility (SHIFT) in Tabangao, Batangas are now powered by renewable energy through SEPH. The Shell Import Facility in Tabangao is also 100% powered by a combination of solar, geothermal, and hydro energies provided by SEPH. The onsite solar farm covers 5,220 solar panels and seven inverters, which can generate up to 300 megawatt hour.
In 2020, Shell began transforming its retail fuel stations into one-stop mobility destinations featuring sustainable solutions. These solutions help reduce energy consumption by approximately 30%, as compared to a traditional site. Shell Energy Philippines (SEPH) is a retail electricity supplier under the Shell Group offering competitive and environment-friendly energy solutions to industrial and commercial customers in the Philippines. It offers a whole range of energy sources from fully renewable energies to the traditional supply of electricity to meet the changing requirements of its customers.
Just some feel-good green points to remember the next time you drop by Shell Mamplasan.
