Shell's head of renewables in Europe quits as giant invests in oil and gas

Company has said it will be more selective with its green power investments

Shell and other energy giants have said that the transition to a green future will require much more natural gas. 

Shell's European renewable power boss Thomas Brostrom has decided to leave the company as the oil supermajor revises its strategy to focus more investment into fossil fuels.

The departure comes as Shell trims back its ambitions for renewable power to focus on the oil and natural gas that generate most of the firm’s profits.
