Starting from Shell plc, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Natural gas (home) →Shortage riskUnderground natural gas storage (depleted fields & salt caverns)
Gasunie’s warning that gas stocks may not be replenished in time for winter maps directly onto storage being the immediate bottleneck for home-gas supply.
93% confidenceNatural Gas (glass furnace fuel) →Shortage riskNatural gas is a critical furnace fuel for glass production, so a gas shortfall can directly constrain output and make glass and windows scarcer.

Underground natural gas storage (depleted fields & salt caverns) →Shortage riskUnderground storage is a critical buffer for residential gas supply, so a storage shortfall directly tightens the availability of natural gas to homes.
93% confidenceElectricity (Grid Power) →Shortage riskElectricity is marked as a critical input for industrial gases (dependency_strength=0.95), so a grid-power shortage should directly constrain their production.

Industrial gases →Shortage riskIndustrial gases production has a critical 0.8 dependency on natural gas, so a Dutch gas shortfall would directly tighten that feedstock and constrain output.
77% confidenceArgon Gas (insulating glass fill) →Shortage riskArgon gas is an insulating glass fill, so a squeeze in argon supply directly tightens the availability of glass and windows production.
