Decarbonizing Refining: TotalEnergies Launches a Call for Tenders for the
Supply of 500,000 tons per Year of Green Hydrogen

 

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.
