TotalEnergies and Air France-KLM Sign a Memorandum of Understanding to Supply
Sustainable Aviation Fuel for 10 Years

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and Air France-KLM have today
signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the delivery of more than one
million cubic metres/800,000 tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by
TotalEnergies to Air France-KLM Group airlines over the 10-year period from
2023.

This sustainable aviation fuel will be produced by TotalEnergies at its
biorefineries. It will be made available to Air France-KLM Group’s airlines,
mainly for flights departing from France (in accordance with French
legislation) and the Netherlands.

The sustainable aviation fuels reduce CO(2) emissions by at least 80% on
average over the entire lifecycle, compared with their fossil equivalent.

Air France-KLM has implemented a strict sourcing policy and is committed to
purchasing only SAFs that do not compete with human food or animal feed, that
are RSB* or ISCC** certified for sustainability, and that are not derived from
palm oil.

With the signing of this MoU, Air France-KLM and TotalEnergies confirm their
collaboration and their goal of furthering the development of a more
responsible aviation sector.

A long-standing partnership in support of aviation sector decarbonization

Air France-KLM Group and TotalEnergies have been collaborating on the use of
sustainable aviation fuel for nearly 10 years. Their partnership began with
“Lab Line for the Future” in 2014, a two-year experiment during which 78
flights between Paris-Orly and Toulouse and between Paris-Orly and Nice were
powered by 10% SAF supplied by TotalEnergies.

In January 2020, Air France and TotalEnergies participated, alongside Safran
and Suez, in the Call for Expression of Interest launched by the French
government aimed at developing sustainable aviation fuel production in France.

Over the last two years, TotalEnergies has also supplied SAF for a number of
Air France-KLM Group commercial flights:


 * In May 2021, Air France’s first long-haul flight, between Paris and
Montreal, powered by 16 % SAF produced in France;

 * In October 2021, an Air France flight between Paris and Nice powered by 30%
SAF;

 * In May 2022, an Air France flight operated as part of the SkyTeam Sustainable
Flight Challenge, between Paris and Montreal, powered by 16% SAF;

 * In June 2022, several flights operated by all of the Air France-KLM Group’s
airlines as part of the Connecting Europe Days, powered by 30% SAF.

“Biofuel development is one of our Company’s strategic priorities. This
new partnership with Air France-KLM exemplifies the excellence of industry and
French aerospace in committing to a more sustainable aviation sector. By
directly reducing the carbon intensity of the energy products used by our air
transport customers, we are actively working with them to achieve net-zero
emissions by 2050, together with society,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman
and CEO of TotalEnergies.

“Air France-KLM is fully committed to advancing SAF production in Europe and
around the world. This Memorandum of Understanding with TotalEnergies is
another building block in the development of French production that can meet
the airlines’ needs, marking a milestone in the successful decarbonization
of our business. We continue to step up our efforts to reduce the impact of
our operations as quickly as possible, and we look forward to working with
TotalEnergies to accelerate our efforts to reduce the impact of our operations
as quickly as possible,” said Benjamin Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Air
France-KLM.

TotalEnergies and sustainable aviation fuels

TotalEnergies is developing sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). These are
biofuels made from waste and residue sourced from the circular economy (animal
fat, used cooking oil, etc.) and “e-jets”, synthetic fuels for aviation.
These sustainable aviation fuels will significantly reduce CO2 emissions from
air transport. TotalEnergies aims to produce 1.5 million tonnes of sustainable
aviation fuel by 2030.
