Hydrogen: TotalEnergies Accelerates Decarbonization of its Platform at La
Mède

 

In line with its 2030 ambition to decarbonize the hydrogen used in its
European refineries, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has joined
forces with Air Liquide to produce renewable hydrogen at La Mède in southeast
France. This new project complements the Masshylia project to produce green
hydrogen by electrolysis led by TotalEnergies in partnership with ENGIE. These
projects will reduce the La Mède biorefinery’s CO(2 )annual emissions by
130,000 tons.

Renewable hydrogen for biofuels production, with Air Liquide

Air Liquide is going to build and operate a renewable hydrogen production unit
at the La Mède platform. With an annual capacity of 25,000 tons, this unit
will recycle coproducts from the TotalEnergies biorefinery. The hydrogen will
then be used in the biorefinery to produce biodiesel and sustainable aviation
fuel (SAF).

The project’s total investment amounts to € 150 million for TotalEnergies
and Air Liquide. The new unit is expected to start production in 2028.

“This new renewable hydrogen production project, carried out with Air
Liquide, allows us to accelerate the decarbonization of our La Mède platform.
Almost ten years after the announcement of its conversion, La Mède is
continuing its transformation and is becoming a low-carbon hydrogen production
center, thus contributing to the decarbonization ambition of the
Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’azur region,” said Vincent Stoquart, President,
Refining & Chemicals at TotalEnergies.

At the same time, TotalEnergies is continuing the development, with its
partner ENGIE, of the Masshylia project of green hydrogen production by water
electrolysis with a capacity of 10,000 tons per year, to contribute to the
decarbonization of both the biorefinery and local customers at the Fos-Berre
industrial-port zone. The two partners are aiming to start up the first 20 MW
electrolyser in 2029, subject to confirmation of European and French subsidies
and the necessary public authorizations.

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 paths 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 three million tons a year by 2030.
