Shell Oman has opened its first solar-powered service station in the Al Wusta Governorate of Oman which is expected to contribute to the reduction of the site’s carbon footprint by approximately 900 tonnes in an average of 25 years. The Shell Mukainza Service Station, Shell Oman's first solar-powered service station in the country, has opened as part of its Solar Into Stations project. In a press release, Shell said it was "proud to be one of the world's leading solar energy providers" and that the new facility would help support "the development of renewable energy." Additional sites in Muscat will be announced later this year, Shell said. The project was carried out by Continental Shelf of Solar Tech, following a tender process and completion of a Shell Intilaaqah training course on solar photovoltaic technology.
