Shell Eco marathon resmi dibuka, 78 tim pelajar siap berkompetisi di ajang Shell Eco marathon Asia Pacific and the Middle East 2024

Diadakan di Indonesia selama tiga tahun terakhir, kompetisi regional ini akan mempertemukan pelajar dari Asia dan Timur Tengah dan akan bersaing pada ajang Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024 di Sirkuit Internasional Mandalika Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat pada 3-6 Juli 2024. Sebagai tuan rumah, Indonesia kembali mengirim lebih dari 40 tim pelajar. Oleh karena itu, Indonesia menjadi negara yang mengirim peserta terbanyak di ajang Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024.

Sahala Sianipar, Regional Head of Corporate Relations Northeast and Southeast Asia Shell, mengatakan, "Program ini mendorong generasi muda berbakat di seluruh dunia untuk menjadi pemimpin masa depan dalam bidang Sains, Teknologi, Tekni,k dan Matematika (STEM) dengan merancang, membangun, dan menguji kendaraan hemat energi yang diharapkan dapat menciptakan solusi transportasi yang inovatif. Kami percaya, dengan tekad dan kerja keras, para pelajar dapat mencapai hal-hal luar biasa untuk negara masing-masing."

Pada Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024, pelajar akan berkompetisi untuk menciptakan mobil hemat energi yang mereka rancang dan bangun dalam dua kategori, Prototype dan Urban Concept.

Kategori Prototype berfokus pada desain kendaraan ultra-efisien dan ringan, biasanya beroda tiga yang bertujuan untuk mengurangi hambatan serta memaksimalkan efisiensi sumber energi. Sementara itu, kategori Urban Concept merupakan desain kendaraan konvensional roda empat yang hemat energi sesuai kebutuhan transportasi. Peserta kemudian dapat memilih salah satu dari tiga jenis sumber energi yang dikompetisikan; yaitu baterai elektrik, bahan bakar hidrogen, dan mesin pembakaran internal (bensin, etanol dan/atau diesel).

Untuk dapat berkompetisi di ajang Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024, setiap tim harus melewati serangkaian inspeksi teknis (technical inspection) termasuk keamanan, sebagai syarat wajib untuk dapat lolos berlaga di sirkuit. Tim yang lolos inspeksi teknis akan bertanding di dua kategori kelas kendaraan, Prototype dan Urban Concept, untuk menentukan tim peserta yang mampu menempuh jarak terjauh dengan bahan bakar yang paling hemat.

Tim Brunei Darussalam, Belia Tabah berhasil lolos inspeksi teknis bersama dengan Semar Proto UGM dari Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia. Sebelum kompetisi, Belia Tabah mengunjungi Yogyakarta untuk bertemu dan belajar secara langsung dari Semar Proto UGM tentang kompetisi ini.

Hifdzur Azmi, Manager tim Belia Tabah Universiti Brunei Darussalam mengungkapkan, "Meskipun kedua tim kami berkompetisi, namun kami memiliki tujuan yang lebih besar lagi dan mewujudkan semangat generasi muda untuk berinovasi dan berkolaborasi dalam menciptakan teknologi yang dapat mendorong efisiensi dalam menjawab tantangan energi di masa depan."

Tahun ini, Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024 tidak hanya diikuti oleh tim pelajar yang pernah mengikuti kompetisi di tahun sebelumnya, melainkan tim pelajar baru lainnya juga turut berpartisipasi untuk pertama kalinya, seperti Selandir Eco Team dari SMK Negeri 1 Lingsar, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, pada kategori Prototype dengan menggunakan sumber energi baterai elektrik. Para peserta berlomba menunjukkan karyanya dalam menghadirkan kendaraan dengan tingkat efisiensi energi yang lebih tinggi.

Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024 juga menghadirkan berbagai rangkaian acara lainnya, termasuk ​​Shell LiveWIRE (program pengembangan wirausaha muda di bidang energi), Shell NXplorers (program pendidikan untuk generasi muda tentang critical thinking dan creative problem solving), dan Shell Indonesia Women's Network (program diskusi dan pemberdayaan para siswa dalam menggali potensi untuk masa depan).

These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, July 3, 2024. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information.

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.

The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this announcement.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
