As part of its effort for continuous progress and sustainable
development, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE)
announces deployment of an innovative technology developed by
Qnergy, to significantly reduce methane emissions related to its
operations on the Barnett gas field in the United States.
An innovative and efficient technology
The solution proposed by Qnergy uses a technology allowing to
convert methane powered instrumentation to compressed air powered
instrumentation, thus eliminating the release of methane to the
atmosphere during the process.
During a successful pilot project at the Barnett site in March
2021, Qnergy's technology proved to be reliable, simple to install
and easy to operate, allowing to eliminate up to 98% of the methane
venting emissions related to instruments using natural gas.
Following successful additional tests, TotalEnergies has decided
to install this new technology by deploying 100 units on the
Barnett field in 2021 and 2022. The deployment of 300 additional
units throughout the field will reduce methane venting emissions
from pneumatic devices by approximately 7,000 tons a year by end
2024.
From now on, new developments on the Barnett field and across
the Company will be designed without instruments using natural
gas.
"To fully play its role in the energy transition, notably as a
substitute for coal, the integrated natural gas chain must limit
its methane emissions as much as possible. We have successfully
demonstrated the effectiveness of Qnergy's technology on the
Barnett field. By immediately deploying this technology on our US
onshore operations, we are actively demonstrating our commitment to
reducing our own methane emissions by 20% between 2020 and 2025,"
said Carole Le Gall, Senior Vice President Sustainability &
Climate at TotalEnergies.
Ory Zik, CEO of Qnergy, declared: "We are thrilled to support
TotalEnergies' global effort to eliminate methane emissions from
the natural gas supply chain. This 100-unit deployment is one of
the largest projects in the pneumatic devices sector. It marks the
beginning of a new scale of emission mitigation across this
sector."
Reducing methane emissions is a priority for TotalEnergies
TotalEnergies' performance in reducing methane emissions is one
of the best in the industry. The company has cut its emissions by
close to 50% since 2010, through actions focused on different
sources -- such as flaring, venting and fugitive emissions -- and
by complying with stringent design standards for new projects to
ensure that methane emissions are close to zero. The Company has
already reduced routine flaring by more than 90% since 2010 and has
pledged to eliminate the practice by 2030.
TotalEnergies' achieved to lower the methane emissions intensity
of its operated gas facilities to below 0.1% in 2020. The Company
has now set an objective of a further 20% reduction of absolute
methane emissions from its operated oil and gas assets in 2025
compared to 2020.
In November 2020, TotalEnergies signed onto a second phase of
the United Nations Environment Programme's Oil and Gas Methane
Partnership (OGMP 2.0), supporting a broader, more ambitious
reporting framework extended to cover the entire gas value chain
and non-operated assets. The Company is also a signatory of the
Methane Guiding Principles.
TotalEnergies is a founding member of the Oil and Gas Climate
Initiative (OGCI), a $1 billion climate fund that has also invested
in Qnergy.
