As part of the drive to decarbonize its European refineries,
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) is launching a call
for tenders for the supply of 500,000 tons per year of green
hydrogen. The use of green hydrogen should avoid the emission of
around five million tons of CO(2) each year from the Company's
European refineries by 2030.
TotalEnergies has six refineries in Europe -- Antwerp (Belgium),
Leuna (Germany), Zeeland (Netherlands), Normandy, Donges and Feyzin
(France) -- as well as two biorefineries in La Mède and Grandpuits
(France), all of which use hydrogen. The Company wants to replace
500,000 tons per year of this hydrogen consumed in its refineries
with green hydrogen produced with renewable energies by 2030. This
is a major step towards achieving TotalEnergies' objective of
reducing the net greenhouse gas emissions directly linked to its
oil and gas operations (Scopes 1+2) by 40% by 2030 compared to 2015
levels.
"This massive call for tenders is fully aligned with
TotalEnergies' ambition to decarbonize all of the hydrogen used in
its European refineries by 2030. Alongside other green and low
carbon hydrogen production projects that the Company is already
undertaking at La Mède, Grandpuits, Leuna and Normandy, we are now
approaching third-party providers to supply us with green hydrogen
to accelerate the decarbonization of our operations. As a
consequence, by offering to various worldwide suppliers the
opportunity to secure medium- and long-term contracts with
TotalEnergies, we trust we will benefit from the most competitive
solutions they have developed", said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and
CEO of TotalEnergies.
TotalEnergies and the decarbonization of its European
refineries
TotalEnergies is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of
producing, converting and supplying energy to its customers. One of
the levers identified by the Company is to use green or low carbon
hydrogen to decarbonize its European refineries, a move that should
help reduce its CO(2) emissions by around five million tons a year
by 2030. In addition to this call for tenders, hydrogen-related
projects have already been announced at:
-- La Mède: The Masshylia project to produce green hydrogen for the
biorefinery's needs is in progress in partnership with Engie.
-- Grandpuits: In November 2022, TotalEnergies and Air Liquide signed a
partnership agreement to develop an innovative, circular system for
producing 20,000 tons a year of hydrogen that is partly renewable thanks
to the recycling of residual biogas from the biorefinery.
-- Leuna: In June 2023, TotalEnergies and VNG, a German natural gas
distribution company, signed an agreement for the future supply of green
hydrogen to the Leuna refinery.
-- Normandy: In September 2023, TotalEnergies and Air Liquide signed an
agreement for the future supply of up to 15,000 tons per year of green
and low carbon hydrogen to the TotalEnergies complex in Normandy.
