According to a report by the US Oil Price Network on August 19, 2022, British Shell said on August 18 that due to the disruption of cargo transportation due to the low water level of the Rhine, Shell slashed its fuel manufacturing facilities at Shell Energy and Rhineland Chemical Park.

Shell said in an emailed statement to Reuters: "Shell has significantly reduced capacity at Germany's largest refinery due to too low water levels on the Rhine

In November, Shell announced plans to switch its refinery in Wesseling, Germany, from crude oil to low- or zero-carbon products starting in 2025, in line with its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050

Shell did not disclose how much capacity at the refinery was cut

The disaster caused by low water levels on Europe's Rhine River has been raging for more than a week, and a key shipping lane for barge shipments could cut off coal and oil products and related supplies

The Rhine flows from Switzerland to the northwest through Germany, France and the Netherlands and into the North Sea.

On August 18, the water level at the Kaub choke point on the Rhine near Koblenz was only 34 centimeters, well below the 1.
