CALGARY, Apr 8, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- SCUAF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Shell Canada Limited today responded to the Pembina Institute and Ecojustice's news release regarding greenhouse gas emission reductions from our oil sands facilities.

Shell Canada's John Abbott, Executive Vice President, Oil Sands provided the following statement:

We understand and share the concerns of stakeholders on greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands. At Shell we see our role as providing more energy and CO2 solutions, and in consultation with a wide range of Canadian and global organisations took early voluntary action, becoming the lowest GHG intensity operator of all mineable oil sands projects.

We're also adding our voice to the call for a concerted regulatory framework at the regional, national and global levels that drive down emissions across our industry on a level playing field. Alberta's current regulations and the emerging Canadian policies recognize that the need to reduce emissions is too important to rely on voluntary commitments, and along with the rest of the industry we are now focused on meeting these new regulatory targets.

Shell continues to work with stakeholders on ways to strengthen CO2 policies and welcome the thoughtful debate on this critical issue.
