Shell ditches lower oil production target but insists it’s committed to cutting emissions

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 06:02:26 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Shell has effectively abandoned a plan to cut oil production by 1-2% per year until the end of the decade, instead maintaining output at current levels in a move that risks angering climate activists.Ahead of an investor update in New York on Wednesday, Europe’s largest energy company argued that it had already met the target it had set for itself in 2021 through asset sales. London-based Shell said it had seen its production drop from 1.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2019 to 1.5 million in 2022. Shell has, for example, offloaded a little under 200,000 barrels of daily production when it sold its sites in the U.S. Permian basin to ConocoPhillips two years ago.“Our target of a reduction in oil production by 2030 has not changed,” the company said. “We’ve just met it eight years early.”New chief executive Wael Sawan insisted that the company was still committed to decarbonizing its operations, reiterating the goal that Shell will become a net-...

It’s almost time to resume student loan payments. Not doing so could cost you

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 06:02:26 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — After three years, the pandemic-era freeze on student loan payments will end in late August.It might seem tempting to just keep not making payments, but the consequences can be severe, including a hit to your credit score and exclusion from future aid and benefits.More than 40 million Americans will have to start making federal student loan payments again at the end of the summer under the terms of a debt ceiling deal approved by Congress.Millions are also waiting to find out whether the Supreme Court will allow President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan to go ahead. But payments will resume regardless of what justices decide.That means tough decisions for many borrowers, especially those in already-difficult financial situations.Experts say that delinquency and bankruptcy should be options of last resort, and that deferment and forbearance — which pause payments, though interest may continue to accrue — are often better in the short term.WHAT HAPPENS IF I D...

Indigenous community wins, then loses, path to reclaim ancestral rainforest land in Peru

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 06:02:26 GMT

A landmark ruling that an Indigenous community in the Peruvian Amazon could reclaim ancestral rainforests has been set aside by an appeals court in a move some legal experts called irregular.Kichwa tribes lived in the area of Cordillera Azul National Park for centuries before the park was founded in 2001 in what the Kichwa say was theft of their land. Major companies such as Shell and TotalEnergies have spent more than $80 million since then buying credits in the park to counter their carbon emissions.That money hasn’t helped the Puerto Franco community of Kichwa, who fell into food poverty after losing free access to hunt, fish and gather in the park area. The community celebrated a dramatic legal victory in April, when Judge Simona del Socorro Torres Sánchez ruled that creating the park without their consent had violated their rights. She ordered authorities to begin granting them title to the land, to ensure they benefit from conservation activities in the park and particip...
