Through their joint venture, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE)
(NYSE:TTE) and its U.S. partner Clean Energy are launching the
construction of their first biomethane production unit, in Friona,
Texas. The biomethane will be used as an alternative fuel for
mobility, thus contributing to decarbonize road transportation.
Located on the Del Rio Dairy farm, the facility will be fueled
by the onsite supply of livestock manure to produce more than 40
GWh of biomethane per year. The biomethane will be distributed in
the United States by Clean Energy through its network of fueling
stations, enabling the supply of renewable gas to between 200 and
300 trucks per year.
By processing cow manure, a significant source of methane
emissions, and substituting fossil fuels with renewable energies,
the project will avoid some 45,000 tonnes of CO(2) e emissions per
year(1) .
"We are pleased to consolidate our entry into the U.S.
biomethane market by jointly developing this first production unit
on the Del Rio Dairy farm, through our joint venture with Clean
Energy," said Laurent Wolffsheim, Senior Vice President Green Gases
& Growth at TotalEnergies. "This project marks another step in
TotalEnergies' transformation into a multi-energy company, and in
the implementation of its ambition to be a major player in
renewables."
"This project at Del Rio Dairy helps to address the increasing
demand for RNG by fleets and is a great example of our partnership
with TotalEnergies, one of the world's leading and most
sustainably-minded energy companies," said Andrew J. Littlefair,
president and CEO, Clean Energy, "RNG, one of the cleanest fuels on
the planet, manages greenhouse gas emissions and tackles global
warming. The added RNG production from Del Rio will help us meet
our target to provide this 100% negative carbon emissions fuel at
all of our North American stations by 2025."
Through the acquisition of an interest in Clean Energy in May
2018, TotalEnergies became the largest shareholder of the U.S.
leader in natural gas vehicle fuels, with a stake of some 19%
today. In March 2021, the two partners set up a 50/50 joint venture
to speed up the development of biomethane production in the United
States.
TotalEnergies and Biomethane
Biomethane is a renewable gas that has a key role to play in the
energy transition. TotalEnergies is the segment leader in France,
with close to 500 GWh of production capacity, and aims to become a
major player in biomethane internationally by partnering with
market leaders in other geographies, such as Clean Energy in the
United States and Adani in India. The Company is active across the
entire biomethane value chain, from project development to
marketing of biomethane and its by-products (biofertilizers,
bioCO(2) ). It aims to produce 2 TWh of biomethane per year by 2025
-- equivalent to the average annual consumption of 670,000 U.S.
consumers, and a reduction in CO(2) emissions of 400,000
tonnes.
