Shell ExpertConnect 2023: upaya mengakselerasi inovasi dalam sektor pertanian di Indonesia

Edward Satrio, Vice President Sales B2B Lubricants Shell Indonesia, mengatakan, "Shell memahami bahwa sektor pertanian memegang peranan yang sentral untuk mendorong roda perekonomian Indonesia dan transisi energi. Inovasi produk dan layanan pelumas dari Shell yang mengadopsi teknologi sangat relevan untuk mendukung produktivitas dan efisiensi industri pertanian. Hal ini juga sejalan dengan strategi Powering Progress kami secara global dalam mempercepat transisi bisnis menuju net-zero emission pada tahun 2050.”

Normansyah Hidayat Syahruddin, M.Eng.Sc, PhD., Ketua Kelompok Pemasaran Hasil Perkebunan Kementerian Pertanian Republik Indonesia, mengatakan, “Sektor pertanian Indonesia saat ini sedang berada pada kondisi yang sangat positif. Tentunya, hal ini tidak terlepas dari dukungan serta kolaborasi strategis dari berbagai pihak, termasuk sektor swasta. Kami sangat mengapresiasi acara Shell ExpertConnect yang selalu memberikan dorongan dan dukungan dari berbagai aspek untuk dapat menghadapi tantangan dalam industri pertanian di Indonesia. Tren positif ini harus terus dimanfaatkan. Untuk itu, pemerintah selalu terbuka untuk berbagai kerja sama agar dapat memperoleh berbagai solusi inovatif bagi tantangan yang ada.”

Normansyah menambahkan bahwa sektor kelapa sawit merupakan sektor paling strategis dan memberikan kontribusi secara signifikan terhadap perekonomian Indonesia, baik dalam hal mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi, meningkatkan ekspor, neraca perdagangan, dan menurunkan inflasi serta menyubstitusi bahan bakar fosil dengan energi terbarukan untuk memperkuat energi nasional.

Berdasarkan data Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) yang dikutip dari Direktorat Jenderal Perkebunan (Ditjenbun) Kementerian Pertanian¹ yang bersifat sementara, nilai ekspor pertanian Indonesia selama periode Januari 2022 hingga Desember 2022 mencapai 640,56 triliun Rupiah. Angka ini telah mengalami kenaikan sebesar 3,93% jika dibandingkan dengan periode yang sama tahun 2021. Subsektor perkebunan terus menjadi kontributor terbesar dalam sektor pertanian dengan menyumbang sekitar 622,37 triliun Rupiah (97,16%).

Shell ExpertConnect 2023 juga menghadirkan panelis dan pakar lainnya; yaitu Lucas Kurniawan, Direktur Utama PT Austindo Nusantara Jaya Tbk; Farista Andi Kusuma, VP Technical Shell Indonesia; Dr. Dwi Asmono, Ketua Bidang Riset dan Pengembangan GAPKI; dan Endang Veronica, Chief Operating Officer PT Bukit Teknologi Digital.

Shell senantiasa hadir sebagai mitra kerja para pelaku industri pertanian dengan inovasi dan teknologi yang mendukung peningkatan produktivitas. Ke depannya, Shell ExpertConnect akan menjadi agenda tahunan untuk mengumpulkan berbagai aspirasi pelaku usaha bertemu dengan inovasi dari pemerintah maupun pemangku kepentingan lain di sektor ini untuk dapat menghasilkan solusi inovatif yang berguna bagi produktivitas industri, tidak hanya agrobisnis namun ke lebih banyak sektor lainnya di masa depan.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

_{Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity”, which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.}

Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target

_{Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.}

Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures

_{This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.}
