COP29: TotalEnergies Deploys Continuous, Real-Time Methane Emissions Detection
Equipment on All Its Operated Upstream Assets

 

As part of its ambition to aim for near-zero methane emissions by 2030,
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces that the Company is
going a step further in the monitoring and reduction of its methane emissions
with the deployment of continuous, real-time detection equipment at all of its
operated Upstream sites.

Setting a new standard in monitoring of methane emissions

Since 2022, TotalEnergies has been pursuing its ambition to aim for near-zero
methane operated emissions in 2030: the Company will meet as soon as 2024 its
target to reduce emissions by 50% compared to 2020, a year ahead of plan.
TotalEnergies is thus well on track to achieve the targeted 80% reduction by
2030. This achievement is the result of numerous initiatives, including the
successful deployment of its AUSEA(1) drone campaigns.

Complementing its portfolio of detection technologies already in place,
TotalEnergies is going a step further by installing continuous detection
equipment on all its operated Upstream assets, enabling real-time
identification of methane emissions, both fugitive and stationary, and
immediate corrective actions to stop them.

This continuous detection plan will be fully implemented by end-2025 and will
use existing and proven technologies such as loT(2) sensors, InfraRed cameras,
flowmeters and Predictive Emissions Monitoring Systems on combustion sources.

Continuous, real-time detection on this scale - both for existing facilities
and projects under development, such as the GranMorgu FPSO in Suriname

– is a pioneering move in the industry and sets a new standard for the
Company.

“Slashing down methane emissions is a short-term priority to contribute to
the fight against climate change. Continuous, real-time detection will enable
our operators to act in an even more decisive manner in order to reduce our
methane emissions and to repair leaks to achieve our near-zero methane
emissions ambition. As a champion of the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter

(OGDC), I am proud that TotalEnergies is leading the way in deploying such
equipment at large scale and we will continue to work with the industry to
share best practices in measuring and fighting methane emissions,” said
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
