𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗵𝗿𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲 - Royal Dutch Shell ($RDS-B) has announced plans to install 50,000 charging points for electric vehicles in the UK by 2025. The government has already decided to ban the sale of new petrol or diesel cars from 2030. A major problem in the transport transition is the lack of charging options. This is now to be remedied.

With the 50,000 new charging stations, Shell could claim a third of the public charging market.

𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗺𝘂𝘁𝘇𝗶𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝗹𝗱 - According to Handelsblatt, the number of suspected crypto cases at the Customs Money Laundering Unit (FIU) increased sharply last year.

In 2018, the number of crypto-related money laundering suspicious activity reports was around 570, and by 2020 it had already risen to 2050 suspicious cases.

A successful Thursday to you 😊

Wants to invest much more at Exxon. Exxon is moving into the future in a climate-friendly way, while Shell doesn't let us hear much about it. Shell does good work, but doesn't communicate much. I think they could make the jump as well. What do you think? Where are you?

Royal Dutch Shell had announced that it would increase distributions to shareholders on the back of healthy profits.

Now a share buyback of two billion U.S. dollars was announced today, which is to be completed by the end of the year.

In addition, the interim dividend will rise from 0.17 to 0.24 U.S. dollars.

Shell has a mammoth task ahead of it:

The conversion from fossil fuels to renewable energy. By 2035, this sector is to become Shell's fourth pillar on an equal footing with gas, oil and chemicals.

What do you think about the dividend increase and the share buyback?

Do you see the measure as positive or would you prefer to see the money invested in the Group's restructuring? $RDS-B
