Shell Malaysia today announced that it had begun its journey to make its fuel stations more environmentally friendly with the introduction of its first two green retail fuel stations in the country. Shell Damansara Jaya and Shell Taman Connaught have been rated to Green Building Index (GBI) standards.
The GBI is the country’s industry-recognised green rating tool for buildings to promote sustainability in the built environment by saving energy and resources, and the two Shell stations mark the first entries in the new retail fuel category introduced for the certification standard. The company is also the first in the Asia Pacific region to go the green route for retail fuel stations.
The move by Shell is in line with the its vision of lowering carbon emissions of its retail stations by 50% by 2025. In the initial stage, the aim is to reduce a station’s energy consumption and improve its emission footprint and its impact on the environment.
Implemented green building index elements include a solar photovoltaic system installed on the canopy of the station, which allows the generation of electricity during the day to supplement the station’s energy requirements and bringing operating costs down.
For example, the 50 kW system at the Damansara Jaya station helps reduce expenditure on electricity from the grid by around 20% – we were told that the average monthly electricity bill for the station is around RM11,000, so that’s quite a bit in savings.
The green station also features physical enhancements to help reduce energy consumption. Surfaces of roofs and walls are painted white to reflect solar radiation, thus helping to reduce overall temperature of the indoor environment and the workload of the air-conditioning system. The improvements translate to around RM22,750 of savings per year from a station.
Lighting elements have also been revised, with the switch to LED lighting promoting not just improved durability but lower energy consumption to the tune of up to 285 kWh per year.
Additionally, water consumption has also been reduced with the introduction of waterless urinals and the use of water-saving taps. This reduces the usage of water by around 60% compared to traditional fittings, and translates to water savings of up to 310 cubic metres a year.
The eco-friendly stations are equipped with an energy monitoring system, which allows the tracking and monitoring of electricity and water consumption, and this data is shown via an electronice display board positioned at the shop’s entrance, offering detailed information on the station’s energy/water consumption in real time as well as its carbon intensity reduction.
Aside from the savings and reduction in carbon emissions, consumers are also set to benefit from stations going green, stepping in to a cooler, better-lit environment, acccording to Shell Malaysia Trading MD Shairan Huzani Husain, who was proud of the fact that the GBI certification for the two pilot project stations was achieved within six months.
Shairan said that the cost of retrofitting the pilot stations was borne by Shell, but did not reveal the cost involved. He added that more Shell stations are expected to be transformed in this manner, the company currently surveying all of its 950 stations nationwide for viability. “Not all stations will be updated as such, because some of the stations are small and old,” he said.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This is pure goreng. You want to be greener? Sell the rakyat Euro 5 petrol and Euro 5 Diesel.
Don’t release press releases about doing your green part when vehicles in Malaysia are filling up your Euro 2M Ron 95.
Euro 2 was banned in Europe in 1994 as it was proven to be toxic, carcinogenic and cancer causing. This was 25 years ago.
Singapore started using Euro 4 more than 10 years ago.
I hope Shell can start the ball rolling by giving Malaysians clean petrol first.
This is far important than having energy saving measures by your petrol stations.
Does not concern consumers but if shell can do the same by upgrading its tanks and facilities and introduce euro 4 ron 95 fuels ahead of government deadline, then its best. Dont keep delaying on what core to the consumers and introduce all these shiok sendiri stuff!!!
Bravo Shell..but my family still prefer to fuel up at PETRONAS station and earn 5x Mesra Points.
Lagipun stesen minyak Caltex dan Petron dh keluarkan Caltex Journey Card dan Petron Miles Card…blh kumpul mata ganjaran dan redeem benda lain…buat apa nk gi Shell kan?
Tapi saya sendiri pernah gunakan Shell punya product rasanya Petronas punya lagi kuat dan Shell punya kualiti kurang sedikit.
Blh jelaskan lebih lanjut apakah bezanya kedua-dua jenama produk ni? Utk saya, produk Petronas lebih best…kereta saya jadi lebih smooth lps guna produk Petronas…
Rasanya Shell yang hebat dekat minyak enjin mereka dengan HX8 tu yang saya gunakan lebih baik berbanding jenama yang gunakan dahulu.
they should also add preset functions on their pumps, so I don’t have to struggle anymore finding a Petron station (which has preset on their pumps) when that needle is on empty
u can preset at shell also, e.g. for RM30, just press 3 and 0 follow by OK then lift up the nozzle..
Shell took this long. Caltex Malaysia station operators alredy upgraded many years ,
caltex punya branch tak sebanyak shell. that’s why ambil masa lama untuk upgrade
caltex tak ada branch sebanyak shell. that’s why shell ambik masa lama untuk upgrade
It was really therefore now some of the shell product is really pricey maybe some of the cost absorb inside in his product.
Mengapa nk beli produk yg mahal2 tu? Baik beli kat hypermarket…harga pon lebih berpatutan…
Memang tu, ada sekali saya membelikan minyak enjin HX8 dekat Shell punya centre harganya lebih mahal berbanding harga yang saya terus beli dekat kedai sevis kereta dan tukarkan.
Sebenarnya sekarang dekat laman web banyak barang dah boleh belikan dan harganya lebih murah seperti product Shell juga boleh jimatkan banyak tu.
Memang tu Shell yang ada kelebihan berbanding dengan Caltex kerana minyak enjin kereta Shell yang lebih baik berbanding lain punya.
Shell you know what? Why not you provide Super Fast Charging Station in your stations? That will be very clean and green.
Atas tingkah laku ni memang Petronas lebih hebat berbanding dengan Shell yang lebih lambat. Trend ni dah menyebabkan Petronas ada kelebihan dekat kereta elektrical tu.
Tak setuju sgt…i rase minyak enjin Liqui Moly lebih berpretasi baik berbanding dgn Shell…ia dpt memanjangkan hayat perkhidmatan enjin dan meminimumkan kebarangkalian kekaratan enjin…
Yaya…i dh lama pakai minyak enjin Liqui Moly…i rasa minyak enjin ni lebih berkualiti sbb dpt kurangkan geseran antara bhg yg bergerak utk pengurusan tenaga yg cekap serta mengurangkan haus…
Bagus ni…Shell dh berjaya dlm “green retail fuel station” yg lebih mesra alam di stesennya utk masa depan yg lebih bersih…akan try next time…
Nampak juga Shell dah mengubah barukan stesen minyaknya tapi masih tidak menggunakan wang dan masa ni untuk mengkajikan produk yang lebih baik berbanding kepada Petronas.
Shell minyak enjin H8X tu yang adalah lebih baik punya kualiti berbanding dengan lain yang saya pernah gunakan.
Bagus ni…Shell dh berjaya introduced “Green Retail Fuel Station” yg mesra alam utk masa depan yg lebih bersih…akan try it…
suka shell. bukan saja ada green stations but also friendly staff! haritu ada staff tolong saya pump tayar, much appreciated
Lebih suka Petronas…sbb members dpt kumpulkan 3x Mesra points bg stp 1 litre petrol dan bile beli kat Kedai Mesra…
macam mana nak dapatkan kad mesra?
suka shell. bukan saja ada eco friendly stations but staff shell pun friendly
Setuju. Perkhidmatan kt Shell x pernah mengecewakan i stp kali i gi isi petrol ke pump tayar…skrg ni pun melancarkan green station…bestnye
kan.. at least kurang la sikit carbon footprint dekat malaysia ni. selamatkan bumi
Sebenarnya boleh tak beritahu tentang apa berbeza dengan Shell dan Petronas punya product? ada apa yang lebih baik dekat dua jenama ini.
banyak beza dia. untuk aku, lagi ngam dengan shell sebab pakai minyak dia enjin smooth je takde bunyi bunyi
yakah? Bagi i, minyak enjin Petronas lbh hebat…Ia dihasilkan khas berdasarkan formula eksklusif utk mengoptimakan prestasi kereta dan pd masa yg sama memperbaiki kos pemilikan kereta utk long period.
petron lagi boekk. aku penah pakai ptronas sgt tak memuaskan hati
pada aku better pakai shell, terutama yg shell helix tu. dahla jimat minyak harga pun murah
Rasanya product jenama persaing Shell seperti Petronas harga sederhana dan kualiti agak bagus boleh pakaikan tapi Shell tu yang harga mahal je.
petronas mana boleh lawan shell. shell sesuai untuk long distance
Walaupun harga Shell produk yang lebih mahal tapi boleh tak berkongsi sedikit dengan kebaikkan Shell berbanding Petronas.
Seperti minyak enjin kereta Shell HX8 tu yang rasanya agak kualiti bagus dan fungsinya puas hati juga berbanding Petronas punya.
minyak shell lagi likat so kereta boleh pergi lagi jauh
Shell tu HX8 yang baik atas dapat kurangkan suhu atas enjin kereta tu kerana banyak minyak enjin tu masalah terlalu panas.
Petronas tu memang persaing besar kepada Shell dengan kualiti dan harga product mereka lebih mesra kepada tempatan berbanding dengan Shell tu product luar negara yang mahal.
tapi shell dan petronas ada dekat bandar je kan?
yes. sepatutnya dorang kena la juga buat petrol station dekat luar bandar. kesian kami pakai buraq oil je huhu
Ada pun minyak stesen Shell dan Petronas yang banyak tu. Shell yang menang atas minyak enjin mereka tu HX8 kualiti bagusnya.
