TotalEnergies and Air Liquide Join Forces on Green Hydrogen to Decarbonize the
Normandy Platform

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and Air Liquide have signed an
agreement for the long-term supply of green and low carbon hydrogen to the
TotalEnergies refining and petrochemical platform in Normandy. The project
will contribute to the decarbonization of the Gonfrevillle site, reducing its
CO(2) emissions by up to 150,000 tons a year. This cooperation between Air
Liquide and TotalEnergies is aligned with the two companies’ shared
commitment to contributing to decarbonize industrial operations in the Axe
Seine corridor.

The project calls for the supply of 10,000 tons of green hydrogen per year to
the TotalEnergies platform in Normandy and up to 5,000 tons per year of low
carbon hydrogen starting from the second half of 2026. It is comprised of two
integrated parts:


 * The production of green and low carbon hydrogen by the Normand’hy
electrolyzer, which will be built and operated by Air Liquide, with a total
electrical capacity of 200 MW. TotalEnergies will have access to half of this
production capacity, corresponding to the amount of hydrogen supplied to its
refinery.


 * TotalEnergies will supply around 700 GWh/year of renewable and low carbon
power to the Air Liquide electrolyzer for half of its capacity, i.e. 100 MW,
corresponding to the share of hydrogen delivered to the TotalEnergies refinery
in Normandy.

"This partnership with Air Liquide is a new step in TotalEnergies' ambition to
decarbonize the hydrogen used by its refineries in Europe by 2030. By
supplying the electrolyzer with renewable electricity from solar and wind
projects, TotalEnergies is making the most of its positioning as an integrated
power supplier," said Bernard Pinatel, President Refining & Chemicals.

“This Memorandum of Understanding with TotalEnergies illustrates our ability
to offer concrete decarbonization solutions to our customers. Air Liquide
Normand’Hy will contribute to the decarbonization trajectory of our assets;
it is also in line with our commitment to accompany the industry and mobility
sectors in their path to reducing their carbon footprint. Our collaboration
with TotalEnergies also strengthens hydrogen development in Normandy.
Supported by the French State and the European Union, the Air Liquide
Normand’Hy project confirms our commitment to develop renewable and
low-carbon hydrogen production by electrolysis technology at industrial
scale.” said Pascal Vinet, Executive Vice President and a member of Air
Liquide’s Executive Committee, supervising notably Europe Industries
activities.
