All 24 Hours of Le Mans Race Cars to Use 100% Renewable Fuel Produced by
TotalEnergies

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE):

For the first time in the endurance event’s history, the 62 race cars
competing in the 90th 24 Hours of Le Mans (June 11-12, 2022) will be supplied
with a 100% renewable fuel developed and produced by TotalEnergies: Excellium
Racing 100. This zero-oil fuel will deliver a reduction in CO(2) emissions of
at least 65% over its lifecycle.

A World First for Automobile Racing

The 24 Hours of Le Mans, the third round of the FIA World Endurance
Championship and an iconic motorsports event, will take place for the first
time with a 100% renewable fuel. Excellium Racing 100 is a major milestone in
the partnership between TotalEnergies and Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO),
which is pursing an energy transition and environmental strategy that is
aligned with TotalEnergies' ambition to get to net zero by 2050, together with
society.

A Fuel Made from Agricultural Waste

More than 18 months of R&D were needed to develop this renewable fuel made
from wine residues (grape marcs and lees). Excellium Racing 100 is a
full-fledged racing fuel that meets all the requirements of the FIA, car
manufacturers, drivers and the European directive on renewable energies (RED).

Developing Hydrogen Mobility

As the hydrogen partner to ACO and the “H24 Racing” team, TotalEnergies
will also deploy this year a mobile hydrogen filling station at Le Mans to
supply the “H24” hydrogen prototype that will take part in the Road to Le
Mans support races. The project “H24 Racing”, developed jointly by
Automobile Club de l'Ouest and electric-hydrogen specialist Green GT, aims to
present an electric-hydrogen race car at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025.

"As Automobile Club de l'Ouest's partner, TotalEnergies is proud to supply the
competitors of the 90th 24 Hours of Le Mans with a 100% renewable fuel. It's a
bit of a revolution for automobile racing and a tangible sign of TotalEnergies
strategy to help its customers and partners get to net zero. Biofuels have an
important role to play in moving the transportation industry forward by
immediately reducing its CO(2) emissions. More than ever, this most demanding
of endurance races is a testbed for TotalEnergies and a showcase for
motorsports as a whole. It's a privilege for me to officially start the race!"
said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies.
