Grandpuits Zero-Crude Platform: TotalEnergies and SARIA Join Forces to Produce
Sustainable Aviation Fuels

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and SARIA, a leader on the
European market for the collection and valorization of organic materials into
sustainable products, have concluded an agreement to develop sustainable
aviation fuel (SAF) production on the Grandpuits (Seine-et-Marne) zero-crude
platform.

This agreement is a major step in securing feedstock supply (used cooking oils
and animal fats) eligible to produce SAF and will enable the SAF production
capacity to reach 210,000 tons per year, 25% higher than foreseen in the
initial project announced in 2020.

Under this agreement, TotalEnergies will take 50% of a production activity of
SARIA, that will supply animal fat esters to Grandpuits. SARIA will take an
equivalent stake in the biofuels business of the Grandpuits biorefinery, which
will remain operated by TotalEnergies. SARIA will also directly supply used
cooking oils.

“I am delighted to conclude this strategic partnership with SARIA, which
reinforces the conversion of the Grandpuits refinery into a zero-crude
platform oriented towards SAF. This is a major milestone in our ambition to
become one of the leaders in sustainable aviation fuels,” declared Bernard
Pinatel, President, Refining & Chemicals at TotalEnergies. “SAF is the
most efficient solution to immediately reduce CO2 emissions from air travel,
and its development is fully in line with the Company’s Climate ambition to
get to net zero by 2050, together with society.”

The project is subject to the legal process for notifying and consulting
TotalEnergies’ employee representatives and the approval of the competent
authorities.

About TotalEnergies in Grandpuits

Commissioned in 1966, Total's Grandpuits-Bailly-Carrois refinery was for a
long time the only refinery in the Paris region. In September 2020,
TotalEnergies launched a project to convert the site, in line with its
strategy to become carbon neutral by 2050. This zero-crude project, with a
total investment of more than 500 million euros, is based on the development
of several future-oriented activities in the field of biomass, renewable
energies, and the circular economy: chemical recycling of plastic waste,
production of biosourced and biodegradable bioplastics, production of biofuels
for the aviation sector, construction of a solar farm and electricity storage
by batteries. The start-up of these new units will begin in 2022, and they
should all be operational by 2025.

TotalEnergies and Sustainable Aviation Fuels

TotalEnergies is developing Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). These are
biofuels produced from waste and residues from the circular economy (animal
fats, used cooking oils, etc.) and "e-jets", synthetic fuels for aviation.
These sustainable aviation fuels will significantly reduce CO2 emissions from
air transport
