Availability of offerings varies by jurisdiction. Depending on local laws, Shell may provide the sale of Environmental Attributes, which buyers, after consulting their own advisors and considering applicable law, might use for emission reduction purposes, and/or Environmental Attribute Information, enabling buyers to help subsidize SAF use and reduce overall aviation emissions at specific airports without making emission reduction claims for their own operations. Different offerings come with distinct contracts, and no assumptions should be made about any offering without reviewing its specific contractual terms.
