Total and ADNOC Sign Strategic Framework Agreement on CO2 Emissions Reduction
and CCUS

 

Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) signed a strategic framework agreement
with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), to explore joint research,
development and deployment partnership opportunities in the areas of CO(2)
emission reductions and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).

The agreement brings together the best-in-class in low carbon technologies
from ADNOC and Total, and expands on the long-standing partnership and
collaboration between the two leading energy producers across the full value
chain.

The agreement was signed by His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE
Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Group CEO, and Patrick
Pouyanné, Chairman & CEO of Total during a meeting in Abu Dhabi.

“We are pleased to strengthen our partnership and alliance with Total as we
work towards a low carbon future. The agreement builds on our sustainability
goal to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity by 25% by 2030 and reinforces
ADNOC’s commitment to responsible oil and gas production as we deliver on
our 2030 smart growth strategy. We look forward to leveraging this expertise
and collaborating with Total to further research and develop low carbon
technologies and sustainable growth opportunities,” said H.E. Dr Sultan
Ahmed Al Jaber, ADNOC Chief Executive Officer.

Under the terms of the agreement, ADNOC and Total will jointly explore
opportunities to reduce CO(2) emissions, improve energy efficiency and the use
of renewable energy for oil and gas operations. In the area of CCUS the
companies will further develop joint research into new technologies covering
carbon capture, storage solutions and enhanced oil recovery projects based on
CO(2) usage.

“We are very pleased to start this new cooperation with ADNOC, our long-term
partner in the United Arab Emirates. This initiative will allow the two
companies to join forces in several domains such as the reduction of carbon
emissions on industrial sites, improvement of the energy efficiency in
operations, and the development of innovative solutions and business models
towards the CCUS chain. This is a perfect example of Total’s commitment to
leverage its global presence and expertise to act towards its 2050 net-zero
ambition alongside its long-standing key partners,” said Patrick Pouyanné,
Chairman & CEO of Total.
